here is my experience:
1. i purchased LG C3400 1.5 year back mainly for connecting to internet via GPRS - the connection stops responding after sometime, only way to continue was remove cable, replug and connect. i checked by changing PC, Data cable, handset, SIM (there is nothing left). then i contacted LG service center, they upgraded software to Version1.02 the first time. but problem continuous , they installed Version 1.04 second time , the problem continue, then they installed version 1.05 third time - problem continue. so in six months i have to go to service center 4 times. at service center there was another C3400 which was having same problem. may be model specific problem. at last i sold the handset.
2. battery life reduced sharply to 50% after 2-3 months.
3. you should contact service center person in your city for phone's performance. as LG GSM phones are rare to find.

I think going for an LG phone is total waste of money.My friend owns one and it is just a crap.problems come from everywhere.

Buy at your own risk.

OOphsssss.... no LG .....
menu system is not so bad...,average....
battery is worst....
signal reception is also not good...
my some friends use LG, they charge theri phone every day...in minimal use.....and when he use GPRS, playing music/radio or use average they running for charging the phone... then charge phone 2/3 times a day....
and if you in a city you don't get much problem with signal.....

what you need mainly.... features....

iinfi LG phones are gud only b'coz they r cheaper than other phones . I myself own a N70 ,& LG G1800 . There have'nt been any serious problems with my LG . Nokia is undoubtably the best but they also charge a fortune for their phones . neways if u aren't planning to buy the handset for it to last for may be 6-7 yrs , i say go for it for its features. otherwise at 8k you can have a good mp3 phone from SE walkman series ( i think the w550i ).

Go for the SE z530i. I got one recently for 6.75 k . Features-M2 Memory Stick support, onboard 24 Mb memory, VGA camera (interpolated to 1.3 MP), Bluetooth, Infrared etc. Only problem is that the camera is not very good with very low frame rates while shooting video.
