LG Optimus S LS670 Deal

Ye Olde: I got this phone for free with a new two-year contract. At first I was incredibly pleased with it. The phone was fast, worked great, did everything I could ever need it for. Then at about the 3 month mark, the Camera on the phone just went out. I called Sprint Tech Support, took it into a shop, and scoured online forums to try and find a fix for it. In my searches I learned that this is a common problem with the LG Optimus, and they normally just send you a refurbished phone.

Chris C. "Chris" (Lompoc, CA) : After about six months, my phone would not receive text messages or phone calls from certain numbers. I would get phone calls from friends asking why I'm ignoring them, when I had actually never received their messages. The battery lasts 12 hours MAX, so I am charging my phone sometimes twice in a 24 hour period.
Overall, the phone worked great for the first 3 months. After that, it's crap. I would go with an HTV Evo or something a little more new instead of this phone.

J. Miller "Buzz": I had the Samsung Exclaim before this, so I was ready for and upgrade. When i got this phone, it was when Androids were popular, but most of the phones upward $200, so Sprint and LG decided that they wanted everyone to get hooked on Android, and the only way to do that was, to make affordable ($50) and eventually free one. Now before you go on reading this, if you do today, Amazon is offering every non-iPhone smartphone for free. If it is past then, ignore what I just said. What I am going to do for this phone is give you the pros and cons, which, the cons outweigh. But there are some good pros, and if this is your first Android, it might be just okay.
