I've had this phone for over six weeks now, so I know it pretty well.
Pros: Nice size, especially for women. GREAT keyboard. The best QWERTY I've ever used. Has four physical buttons, which come in handy. Sports the lovely Android OS (which I could go on and on about) and isn't too bogged down with Verizon's bloat ware. LG has added some nice widgets too. Nice call quality, good reception. The Google GPS is an awesome feature (when the phone can handle it). Headphone jack is great for Pandora or Last.fm in the car.
The mediocre: The battery life barely lasts a day under a few calls, texting and some Facebooking. If you use the GPS you'll be recharging in a few hours.
Cons: This phone cannot handle a whole bunch of apps from the market install at the same time. More than 5 apps and the phone gets super laggy and you'll be force closing apps left and right. It's also is terrible at mutlitasking. I took this phone on a 400 mile trip and we used the GPS and played Pandora on it simultaneously. If I used the GPS and Pandora at the same time for more than a half hour or so the phone would over heat and I would have to take out the battery and let it cool down. The GPS is a great feature, but only when the phone is on to use it! That is a big disappointment for me. Even with Pandora off it would power cycle when using the GPS on occasion. I called Verizon and I was told that this phone cannot handle a whole bunch of apps because of the processor and the memory size and I was instructed to restore my phone to factory defaults to see if it helps. It did. As long as I keep apps to a minimum the phone does much better. BUT this is an Android phone, I would like to enjoy the lovely apps at my disposal.
In the end, this is a good phone for a beginner Droid user or someone who does light internet browsing and such. If you're looking for something to run all your apps and multi task, this is not the phone for you. Which is too bad, it has potential.

This phone was aweful!!! it forze constantly I got one or two texts out then it froze and had to wait for it to restart, then the alarm shows up but never goes off, and finally the speaker died and there is no sound at all. This phone is the worst i have ever gotten, Verizon was great and sent me another one and that one isnt working! I got the original one only a month ago, really bad phone! DONT GET
