Tracfone LG800G Review - updated 2012

Submitted by Dave Won. on Sun, 02/20/2011

The LG800G is still a very popular phone on Tracfone and has still got customer hooked despite have limitations compared to that of phones that have full multitasking operating systems. People that swear by this phone being the best thing since sliced bread will tell you, it is basically a cross between cell phone with some of the features that you might see on a common smart phone. Because the LG800G doesn’t have any 3G it makes it more of a contender for smart phones that came out in the early 2000’s
All things aside we have so many report from people that are fan of this phone, that it has got more attention than you would expect, for a phone that was to certain degree obsolete when it came out.
You must understand I am not bagging the phone out, I am simply stating how is. Owners of this phone will agree this phone is for a certain type of person that really only need these features and nothing more.
Check out our video unboxing of this phone to get more of an idea on what you get in the package.

The LG800G under the brands Tracfone and Net10... this will make the people who wanted the short lived Samsung Finesse R810 that came out very happy. Once again we have a touch screen phone for the pre-paid masses... Glade I could let you guys know it's not the best phone in the world, but it's a touchscreen! -Eric

This phone people have either loved or hated, there was a problem sending text messages, so some of the phones were recalled.
