View Full Version : LG 550 Fusic

I work for Sprint, and I have to say I am NOT impressed with my Fusic. I love how many things it does, but I have lots of complaints. I got the Fusic when it first came out in July, and I upgraded.. (or so I thought) from the a900 blade. Well, compared to each other, I like the Blade better...
this is why...
My first fusic started sending DELETED pictures to people.. hear me out--this is totally and completely the truth. I noticed one day that I sent my boyfriend a picture twice, but I hadn't meant to. Then I realized that the pic that was sent twice had been DELETED from my memory card. I figured maybe it was a glitch, so I proceeded to send pic mails to people. Then It not only happened once again, it happened over a dozen more times. I called Sprint cust. care and they had NO clue how to help me. They told me to reset my pic mail, and when that didn't work I swapped my phone out at my store THREE TIMES, (the problem continued) and then just decided to stop sending picture mail to people other than my boyfriend. That is a hassle!!! Anyway, the problem soon stopped, and now.. 6 months later I can send pic mail,. crossing my fingers, hop[ing that a private pic won't be sent to my AUNT or my SIS or anyone who shouldn't see a certain pic. you catch my drift.
Another problem with my picture mail.. for a moment in time.. and sometimes still, when certain people send me pictures from certain providers, especially TMOBILE, it power cycles my phone when i attempt to open to picture, and doesn't allow me to open the pic successfully from my phone, so the only way to view them is through my pic mail acct. on my computer.
Another problem.. battery has started acting up---I don't charge my phone overnight, I only charge it til the green light comes up. And for some reason, the phone sometimes powers off by itself, and the battery wears down a lot quicker than normal.

My scheduler alerts me when I set it, every five minutes, for about an hour straight, but, let's say I missed it--I was busy and didn't hear my phone go off for the hour... My scheduler doesn't show up in my missed alerts like MY BLADE would. That is a big deal to me!

It is the only phone I know of with an FM transmitter.. but the transmitter is not that great. It's actually a driving hazard when you mess with it. If the phone isn't kpointed in a certain direction, you get a lot of static from the movement.. sometimes it was clear, but it just depends on the station you choose, and how you position the phone.

PROS:
good camera w/ flash but for some reason, (I fancy the a900's cam more,) speaker phone is alright.. doesn't compare to sanyo. changable face plates are a plus. big display screen that i love. text messaging is fairly simple with t9 and word completion.
it has a slideshow screensaver that i love, and everyone who sees my phone, loves as well. a lot of my downloaded ringtones are very loud and clear, which is a plus.

I guess that is about it for my ranting and raving.. but compared to the A900, with the exception of the battery life, I prefer Samsung to LG. I honestly think the BLADE is one of the best phones I've owned... but samsung needs to work on their batteries, which I see they have been recently with the 610.
