LG AX8600 (ALLTEL Wireless)

THIS IS AN OVERALL GOOD UNIT PRODUCED BY LG. ALLTEL RECALLED THE BLUE, GOLD AND GREEN PHONE DUE TO SIGNAL PROBLEMS, CHARGING PROBLEMS AND PAINT CHIPPING OFF THE UNIT. I HAVE HAD THE SILVER ONE THAT WAS RELEASED AFTER THE ABOVE THREE WERE RECALLED. I LIKE THAT THE PHONE IS VERY COMFORTABLE IN YOUR AND AND YOU CAN STORE IT IN YOUR POCKET I DID NOT EVEN BY THE CLIP WITH THE PHONE. I HAVE DROPPED MINE ON ASPHALY ATLEAST HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND THE BATTERY POPS OFF BUT SNAPS RIGHT BACK ON AND POWERS UP. ONE OF THE CON'S FOR ME IS THE KEY PAD. IT IS NOT RAISED AND DUE TO ME HAVING LARGE HANDS I CAN PUSH THE WRONG NUMERICS SOMETIMES. THE PROS ARE A GOOD SPEAKER PHONE OPTION AND A PRETTY NICE MP3 PLAYER BUT YOU WILL NEED ADDITIONAL MEMORY IN A MICRO SD CARD I BELIEVE IT CAN HANDLE UP TO A 2GB. THESE PHONES SELLING FOR UNDER $100 WITHOUT A CONTRACT ON EBAY ARE AN EXCELLENT BUY. STAY AWAY FROM THE BLUE, GOLD OR GREEN PHONES THEY HAVE BIG PROBLEMS.
