Before I begin, let me clarify that I am in favor of favorism. But not on people, but the things I possess. For instance, I love my jackets more than I love my baju batik. I love my Sam Fu more than I love my Baju Melayu. I love my camera more than my (I was about to say “friends” but I realized that that would be inappropriate) MP3 player. Regardless, throughout all my possessions, there’s one thing I hate more than everything else. No, it’s not Twilight (although, yes, I still hate Twilight). It’s my phone.
A shitty LG U990 phone.
I got it after a week of my stay in Australia. I figured that the postpaid plan was good, the phone that came with it was good, and it was entirely a good deal. Sure enough, at an outside glance, the phone features an okay feature line-up. It was a 3G phone, it had a cam at the front for videocall, a 5MP cam at the back, a touchscreen, an included stylus, and the whole design pretty much look like a decent phone – almost iPhone-ish. But once I had it for a week, I popped out the simcard and put it in my old phone (A sony ericsson K800). I was more than happy to use my old phone instead of a brand new, outta the box LG u990.
Why? The LG phone is shitty. The battery cant last at all (often, I made a call with the battery indicator full, only to have my call cut off in the next 20 minutes as the battery went out), the touchscreen is basically a pointy-pressure screen (without the stylus, using your finger wont work unless you have a pointy finger nail – you can slide your finger to scroll around some menus, but doing that means to stab the screen a slice your phone in half), it has a touch keypad without the erase button (it was located externally – when you type with a stylus, you basically have to use your finger to press the erase button - wtf), the earphone port is located at the side (having an earphone jack plugged while having the phone in your pocket is impossible), the signal receiving antenna is located exactly at the place where you hold the phone during calls (resulting to an almost instant connection kill when you hold your phone next to your ear), the camera is decent but the phone has an auto-contrast fix software that basically increase the contrast of your photo that some went entirely not visible (you cant take a shot of yourself and your mate(s) in a dark environment – no porno pic/film for you), you cant set the phone to ring and vibrate at the same time (you can go only for either one at one time – I was on my MP3 player when my phone rang in my pocket and I didn’t notice it coz it didn’t vibrate – someone finally came to me and said “your phone’s ringing”), the alarm wont ring if you set your phone on silent (I don’t want people’s call to wake me while I sleep, but that means the alarm wont as well), the file organizer’s a mess (oxymorons… nice), you cant have a memory card with more than 2G capacity, the camera switches back to VGA mode everytime you off the cam even when you set it to 5MP, the phone unlock key is located outside the phone at the press-prone-most location, one of the screensaver is a fish pond (something like an iPond without the ability to play fish – biggest insult ever), there’s a menu for apps but there’s no apps to download, it only have some utilities featured (the phone has a calculator but no stopwatch, no timer, no on-screen note/reminder… and WHATEVER FCUK is a date finder!?)… and the list goes on.
So why am I using it still? Coz my old phone finally breaks down and I am stuck with this shitty phone. So, for all the people out there, don’t buy this phone. CNET gave a decent rating for this phone, a 3 ½ star in fact. I gave it five piles of poo and an instant two middle finger up. The only good thing about this phone is that, no matter how many times I smash it onto the floor with frustration, rage, anger and disappointment, it still works perfectly ‘fine’.
