LG VX5400

Some people don’t need smartphones or PDAs with all the bells and whistles; they just need a simple, dependable phone for making calls. After all, isn’t that why the telephone was invented? A simple voice phone needs to do three things: be easy to use, make decent phone calls, and have good battery life. Although it occasionally underreports reception and has some issues with distortion on the speakerphone at high volumes, the LG VX5400 does all of the simple tasks well. An attractive design, excellent call quality, and terrific battery life lead me to recommend this handset without reservation to any Verizon user looking for a basic phone.

The LG VX5400 is a satisfyingly simple voice phone for Verizon. If you just want a free phone to make calls with, you can feel secure picking this one.

The Good- Bright, clear screen. Excellent keypad. Great call quality. Terrific battery life.

The Bad- Speakerphone has some distortion at top volume. Poor camera.
