LG and Cingular, service and quality
I've owned practically every brand cell phone out there, from Audiovox, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and Siemens to name a few. And by far, LG makes one of the finer phones around. Some phones, especially on GSM/GPRS technology, seem to make a buzzing and static sound, but with the LG L1400, that seems to be at a minimal. The quality feel of the phone and the service of Cingular make the combination quite a good one.
It will be interesting to see what phone(s) LG will be releasing late in 2005 with Cingular's unveiling of the UMTS/W-CDMA network.

ill tell you one thing, the lg c1300 is crap. ive never seen more problems with a brand of phone then that one. we had to send back countless numbers of that model. glad to hear the 1400 was good, our stores shied away from carrying it because of the problems with the c1300..

Here's my stance on LG (and Samsung for that matter)...
LG and Samsung are both Korean companies. GSM service does NOT exist in Korea, only CDMA and its variants. Plus, neither company is a member of the GSMA. So, how could they design/test GSM handsets?
At my store we sell a lot of Moto and Nokia handsets for a reason. Both companies are members of the GSMA and helped design the technology. Therefore, in my mind, they would have a much better command of the technology, and could make much better handsets.
I'll tell you this: our return/exchange rate has gone way down since we started pushing Moto/Nokia handsets...

I agree totally. We push nokia and motorola also. Ive also found my customers have been very happy with the Siemens c61.

since everyone seems to be bashing LG....ill toss my own match on the fire. (let the flame war begin!......or not) anyways.. i myself have an lg 4010. since im in canada the rogers network is fairly extensive...but this phone has given me no problems. granted its very simple...dosent have a camera....not a color screen and only 1 game....but i dont want that. i almost never use a regular camera. why would i need one on my phone? a i use it for making calls. not as a game system or camera....or portable computer. and i must say. this phone has NEVER dropped a call and the reception is great except when im in my bomb shelter or terrain that would obviously block a signal. the battery life is also good. it takes 8 hours to charge and then last...
