LG Spectrum, Why Does Lg Even Bother Making Smartphones?

[Akrzemien]

Specs on this phone were great, but Lg and smartphones just dont mix very well. I've sold about 6 since the launch date, and all 6 have already been back to the store either for exchange, or so we could help the customer get a warranty replacement. You would think they would fix something as simple as sound issues after the Revolution had the same problem, but unfortunately, no such luck. Very very close to discontinuing Lg product in the store with the exception of the Lg Revere basic phone. Anyone else having the same bad luck?

A friend bought the phone and for some reason he hated it. I'll have to ask him why but he seemed like it was the worst phone ever.

We stopped selling LG smartphones months ago. Customers have not asked for them since.

I have had good results from the Lucid so far but yeah, don't carry the others at all.

I'm still bitter over the Voyager launch!!!! Screw LG

LG (except the Lucid) and Samsung (as nice as their screens look) are both lacking when compared to Moto and Apple products. Not sure exactly what to make of HTC at this point.....they had the Incredible and then seemed to stall out on the TBolt and marking time with the Inc 4g?

I've heard that the Lucid was a good phone.

The only success we have had with LG products was from their feature phones, but even now I'm not really impressed with them besides the revere. The cosmos 2 is a joke of a follow up and their smartphones continue to have software issues that take forever to get support for or they just decide to not offer it.

I worked at a corporate store until recently and we saw a lot of the Spectrum come back as well. When I think about the past though, LG was notorious for issues with their multimedia phones (when Verizon had such a thing a couple years ago). The envTouch and env3 was an absolute disaster, random power offs were a well known issue in the first models (there was a lot of them, I remember doing 3 warranty replacements in one day a couple years back all due to power cycle issues). The LG Chocolate also had relatively high touch screen failure rate. The Revere, and previous models such as the Accolade and VX5600 seem to be pretty solid.

I had one briefly and the battery life was insanely bad

One of the major problems I've found is that the UI seems childish. Application icons look like cartoons. I've heard LG keeps doing this because the Asian market prefers this look but they really need to make some changes for the North American market.
