I’ve had this Bell LG 830 for 16 months now (20 more to go, arrrg) and have hated it almost from the getgo. The touch screen was a novelty at first but soon became a real pain to use. Call quality was quite good if you can get a signal. I live in Niagara Falls and can’t use my phone in the house. WTF? The alarm is unreliable to the point of being totally useless. Missed calls are common and super annoying. The ringer with its gradual volume increase is a very stupid set up ! By the time it gets loud enough to hear it (4 rings), too late you’ve missed a call, again! I’ve tried every ring tone. With all these ringer complaints you’d think Bell would have a fix for it. NEVER again LG or BELL !!!!

Thats probably because you guys don’t know how to take care of it, me and my friend had ours for 2 years and it still works like a charm:) I recommend this phone

RINGVOLUME. There is something wrong with the ring volume on this phone. The RINGVOLUME setting NEVER is never matched when you actually get a call. It has gone back to LG 3 times and the problem has not been fixed.

This is a very BASIC REQUIREMENT of a PHONE. Do not buy this phone. I will never buy an LG product again unless I only want a nice looking screen and no sound.

I am taking this up with the “New and Improved” Bell Canaduh.

i got this phone in july 2008, and initially i loved the phone. looks nice, the 2.5 inch touch display. call quality is pretty decent, pictures are also decent for being a cell phone.
however, recently my phone has not been getting good reception at all. there is just constantly 1 bar, or lower of service. my phone calls are constantly being dropped now, occasionally when i press the number 5, my phone will shut down. texting on the phone on the touch screen can be a pain, you actually have to look at the screen when texting which i dont like. the razr like buttons are cool, but are very hard to text on because of their confined space. also sometimes when i try to make calls, it connects to the calls, but you can’t hear anything on the other end! just dead silence, when that happens i have to restart my phone, which is a pain. i have downloaded over 15 ringtunes and only 2 of the ringtunes that i pay $3.50 each for have a decently loud sound to them. the other ones are not loud at all, and sound tinny. duplicate text messages, and delayed text messages are pretty much a given. yesterday i sent my dad a text at 3:46, he responded back at 3:49, but i didnt recieve the text message until 5:13!
i would not reccomend getting this phone

I have had this phone for 13months. Loved it initially. 11.5 months into my one year warranty I noticed my screen would freeze. happened only once or twice. Now 13months after paying $400 for it…I have no use of it. The touch screen will not work at all. the only thing you can access is the keypad to direct dial a call. No text, no browser….no NOTHING! And good luck getting any satisfaction from Bell. I purchased the extended warranty…which they slyly cancelled in Oct….all customers previously with Aliant. But were never refunded. The phones a dud. Don’t waste your time or money with LG or BEll. Neither are willing to help….AT ALL!!!!
