I had the red one first, then the purple one. Seriously loved it. I’ve only had iPhones for years, but if LG could make a modern version of this phone with the SAME hardware, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
This was my first phone from 5th grade, in black! My mom had the purple flower one. Full QWERTY was a wonderful feature for the time. Can’t believe how limited it was.
Ive owned more phones than I care to admit and this was my favorite. Only issue i had with it was that the headphone jack wasn't the standard size, but at the time I had an MP3 player so that wasn't a huge deal.
This was, hands down, my most favorite phone. I adore it so so much. And had it been an Android, it'd have kept it for years. The only downfall was that 2.5mm jack, in which you had to get a dongle, but it was worth it to have one. I was so sad when I had to give it up when I switched to T-Mobile from Sprint. LG if they were still making phones, should have re-released it as the last phone. But my Samsung Flip 3 does help fill that void.
Watching this in 2018 on a s9+ this was me second phone I ever had, still have it and used it last year when my note broke and it was still usable and I still love the keyboard. Oh the nostalgia... lotus review in 2018?
The belt case for this phone was so bulky lol. I still have mine 2 actually and the clear plastic case it snaps into with the belt clip. I loved this phone
had this phone for a year now. I'm gettin the sanyo incognito soon. It's a really good phone. it was my first full keyboard phone so it was differant at first but got used to it within days. the only CON would be that it can be very laggy at times - especially when receiving two or more things at once. and the camera blurs badly if u move at all. Othr than that... GREAT phone great phone
to help you, i have the lotus, the lotus has the ability to record your own ring tones via voice memo, also the bluetooth options are better than the rant. The speakers on the lotus is loud! another thing is that the battery charging is very quick, and for a teen, the battery last a long time on dim, and on silent.
I'm glad its in a new colour, but i was hoping for a more guy-friendly colour other than black. I think it would look awesome in metallic green or blue.
I've had this one! I have the galaxy note 8 now, but this phone was amazing to me back then. But it's been shut down permanently somehow by...I guess sprint? (Is that the company that produced the phone?) I wanted to turn it on and look at it again, but all it does is show the logo, then shut off again.
I have been told that the rant has alot of problems it frezze alot and alot of people have had more then 1 rant i hope this help read the review on the rant
I remember owning this exact same phone years ago. I typically don't like flip phones because they always felt uncomfortable on my ear and I feel that I can't hear the person who I'm talking to but I liked this phone because it felt comfortable in my ear. I still remember starting to watch UA-cam regularly on it being I didn't have the internet at home so before this I typically played video games. I even started to make videos with this phone but only for me personally being I had no intention of posting on UA-cam at the time lol (boy what the difference a decade makes lol). Now I have 67 subscribers something that if you went back in time to when I had this phone and told me that I would have 67 subscribers on UA-cam I would've laughed and said yeah right so come closer so I can punch you (I wasn't very nice back then). Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and I'm using it for a multitude of things including making videos.
So my friend had this phone a couple years ago and I remember seeing it offered in light blue and in pink and on the blue one instead of the floral design it had like blue stylish squares and shit... what the fuck? I can't find it anymore.
I have this phone and i've had nothing but problem.... Half the time i have dropped calls and my text messages wont send. The charging port is going and i had all these problems after 4 months. I've put up with it for over a year now and im not impressed with this phone at all. However the keyboard is perfect and i much enjoyed that.
i got one of these phones from budget mobile, paid nothing for it. however it is beat up which is still ok. i have no internet, but music, photos and videos are great. also cant text unless i add money to it myself, which is fine as well. ive got a bright shiny pink one. the keyboard is decent. its not a bad phone over all. thank obama for such a great cute phone.
i have this phone if you are thinking about getting it go ahead its a great phone it might be big and wide but its wonderful and awesome for texting this is a great phone
i wanted this phone cuz its my favorite color but now i want the SCP - 2700 its soooooo cute..its super girly...lol...when i first saw the LG Lotus in the radio shack paper i thought it was a mp3 player...LOL..!!This phone is great thou my friend has it and the camera is awesome...!!
Aha im a little surprised that i have the highest rated comment...i actually have this phone now and i LOVE it. and i dont think that its a little too wide and narrow unlike this guy lol
after he said the size is unconventional, i said "shut the hell up" but yeah i might go from verizon to tmobile. i like te black lotus. the black one is manly :)
these types of phones are geered towards teenagers for texting NOT adults im a teenager and wanted this fone but now i am getting the elite both my cuzin and aunt hadTHIS FONE AND LOVED IT IT LASTED THEM A WHILE

you can add memory to it with the Micro Sd slot, but Idk if it comes with a free micro sd

1:41 How can it possibly be 'too wide' and 'too narrow'? They're both measurements of width
@TheSuckerOfTheWorld coool cats ... i think u got the question mixed up i asked the price not the age .

Can It Access UA-cam and Myspace or even UA-cam or Myspace Mobile?
At the bottom of the outside cover. Really hard to see cuz it's in the black part.
