LG 285 / User Reviews

Before my phone came into my possession it was my Grandmother's for a year. I have had this phone for two years now and it is still working well. I have dropped the poor thing many times, but nothing has damaged it. Most of my friends have been through multiple phones since I have had my phone... More

Ive had this phone for somewhere around 4 years...this phone has been places. it has been completely submerged in water TWICE...dropped from a moving vehicle...and bashed and battered in many different ways. today i dropped it at work and it would not turn on...i though it was the end but after one swift... More

Its An Alright Phone i have had for 3-4 months now and as time goes by i wish in had bought this sooner but there still is some problems with it for example 1.Texting on it is bad 2.lg doesnt make some bad stuff,but this phone should be the first one you buy before you buy a iphone or blackberry.

i've had this phone for almost 2 years, and it was one of the best phones i've had. i've dropped this phone lots and it has very little wear. most of the wear is on the front glossy part, but even that is pretty minimal considering how many times its fallen on hard surfaces. inside screen... More

I've had this phone for over a year now,And it's a good phone and all but it has some technical difficulties.As in.. 1. Sometimes it freezes when I'm trying to txt or write in the NotePad, 2. The screen goes all white when I didn't even touch it,3. When I set my alarm for me to wake... More

This is the first time i reviewed a cellphone as this has been my first one (well not exactly as i had a phone before that the lg vx-8600 which broke in one day ,go figures)
Pros
Extremly durable dropped it abot 285 times (today dropped it on cement face first and the battery and cover flew off but it... More

I've had this phone for over a year and i must say its one of the best. If you can still find one, buy it. I got mine for 40$ (sale down from 50$) and it came with a $50 credit, so i was basically paid 10$ for phone. Its very responsive in terms of menu access. Sending or deleting messages is sometimes... More

I've had this phone for over a year now and it still works pretty well. I got it for free when i signed up with Telus through Walmart. Considering how cheap you can get it now I would highly recommend this for first time cell buyers or someone who will use it minimally. I haven't had any major... More

I recently got this phone and it is good the menu unfortunately is a little screwy but it has a good camera and it was a smoking deal I paid about 55 bucks for it and got a 50 dollar activation credit so the phone cost a little under 5 bucks the volume is good but it takes forever to find things with... More

This is my 'replacement' phone for my Razr that I smashed when I was drunk one night. If you ever lose or damage an expensive piece of gear, you can always downgrade and buy a phone that's pay-as-you-go and have it activated for your subscription plan.

Don't buy this as a camera... More

This phone
the LG 285
is GREAT
the texts send great unless im in bad singal and i understand why they don't send there.this phone costs me 15$ a month for unlimted from Telus. and i have had since september. and even though you can say its a " cheap phone" but who cares it works really... More

This phone has great reception and is duable. I have owned a pink one for 5-7 months and every single text went out! if it is over 156 words/ letters in a text you just have to wait a little for it to send but just close the phone and it'll send by itself! The price is also reasonable i paid 60.00... More

I have owned an LG 285 for 6 months and haven't had any problems with it except it has frozen a few times but is no big deal. I find the picture quality astounding, especially when printing them. It has a fair night shot, and a good response time. The phones built-in memory is good too, it holds... More

It's pretty decent. When I got it, it was already scratched. If you're a person who texts a lot, you don't want this phone because it freezes after you send a message and you have to take the battery out to restart the stupid thing. The vibrate isn't strong enough. Sometimes you can... More

My wife and I are on holidays form Australia in Canada and bought 2 of these phones from a local dealer (of which there are numerous firms) in Namaino on Vancouver Island.

The LG285 is a basic entry point model so dont expect miracles. Having said that, their menu layout is amongst the worst I have... More

I just got this cell phone on pay and talk from Telus Mobility and it was good at first. I have had this phone about a month now and its starting to have problems. Sometimes I won't recieve incoming calls or incoming texts and other times I do. This phone is junk and I would not recommand this cell... More

I also had this as my first phone. Went for the the price of $90.00 and came with a $50 card. It's a good phone for starters as it has all the basics of a modern cellphone. There is nothing special to the phone and sound quality is fine. The only problem I had with this phone was the power charger... More

I have this phone its actually my first, i like the response time of the camera and i got it with $50.00 on it. price though isn't so good they are selling at best buy for 200 dollars when i got mine for 100 at staples....
