Don't throw your SLR out just yet...

You may remember some time ago that we all discussed smashing our kit up and sticking with a simple LG Renoir mobile phone. Well I upgraded last week and decided that I'd give this phone a go. It looks smart, feels good in the hand and is an absolute piece of crap :) It's frozen up on my twice and last night refused to charge.

But the picture quality on the camera...what can I say, they were right to show them crushing a load of SLRs because it's fair better than the grainy pictures we all get...:thinking: Sarcasm is hard to convey in type...the camera is woeful, 8mp of utter garbage.

And my biggest gripe?

The freaking stylus is in a horid little puch that hangs off the phone. Apparently fitting the 2 inch stylus into the phone casing was just too hard. Muppets. Still, it's better than my old N73, but I'm not surprised it was a free upgrade!
 
Shame on you for even the slightest thought that the camera would be better than our trusty Olys ;)
 
Ah, I never thought it would be, but when LG show that you should crush your SLR in their advert, you expect something a bit better, at least on a par with a compact...no such luck. It's a pile of crap :)
 
I've just been looking at this as an upgrade. Would you advise me not to bother then? :lol:
 
Not sure, when it works it's a cracking phone, but it's frozen up on me a couple of times, and the stylus really does bug me. But it has built-in sat nav (Orange maps at £4 a month though and you need a signal for it too work). I've calmed down since my original rant. But I do wish I'd done a little more research.
 
I have always been dissapointed with LG phones. I never learn though, and every few years get tempted by something snazzy. The last thing was the Viewty, what a crock that was!

Cheers,
James
 
Sounds like you had the same probs as I had with my new N96. I put up with it for a couple of days and went back to my N95.
It used to freeze about half a dozen times a day. A real piece of s%*t. The camera wasn't too bad though..... (as phones go.)


Kev.

So basically, all Canon owners would be better off with one of these beauties? ;) :p
