In a nutshell: The LG Optimus Me is a budget Android phone that offers the benefits of smartphone apps, GPS with Google Maps and fast internet access. But there are too many compromises, especially the small screen, underpowered processor and limited memory.

Best buy: *Free* from the Carphone Warehouse; or on Pay as you Go for £87.49 from PrePayMania (Silver).

I got this phone for christmas 2011 , and im 12 i use this phone heaps of facebook , skype ect. i tend to find it slows down but i thinks thats just from facebook . its a quite slow phone now and the call quality isnt the best but i still love it ! the phone charge lifetime is the best but sometimes i find it hard to get over the fact there is only a camera at the back and not the front , since im very photogenic so thats not the best for me but i guess its okay with the timer on . Its a good phone but i think its not the best phone to have when u just wanna lie in bed and check facey instead of going to ur desk and onto ur computer .

I am using this phone from past 4 months, this is the best android phone with good speed, sound clarity, and with low budget. I rarely use my laptop after i had LG optimus p350. The battery life is superb and it takes just 30 mins to get charged. I love this phone awesome

I got this phone on a special deal from Tesco's as my previous phone, an old fashioned, though solid, trusty, reliable & user friendly Nokia N95 had finally died as a result of dropping it in a dyke whils't rescuing a horse (long story!!) & we needed a phone to go on holiday with in case of emergencies...anyway i have to say that so far I've not been impressed in any way. it's taking me a while to get used to so will continue to give it a chance but already i'm disappointed in so much about the phone compared with the nokia. The main difference is the picture quality of the camera/video..I'm not really interested in downloading apps or social networkig or internet use or even gps navigation on the phone, I'm mainly interested in using it as a phone & for messaging though the fact the Nokia N95 has an excellent camera & video capabalities has been a real bonus & have recorded & published many video's on YouTube/Facebook with it....Sadly the optimus has none of the capabilities of the Nokia despite being several years newer, other things that make it vastly inferior to the Nokia include...totally non user friendly (ended up making several unintentional calls & texts, microscopic font sizes & on screen keyboards & notification messages (even when rotated 90 degrees)meaning it takes far too long to input any data, Far too easy to connect to the internet & not so easy to disconnect (in fact I'm still not sure when I have disconnected so am worried about getting a massive phone bill!!) A totally user unfriendly instruction manual, poorly translated into english that doesn't really tell you how to do anything or explain some of the symbols etc......but the worst thing has to be the online software & customer support from LG. I downloaded the LG PC suite (4) to syncronise my contacts with outlook (as due to the small keyboard etc it would take far too long to due it manually (& there's little point also 'cos as soon as I get another Nokia from o2's insu rance company it's going back!!) needless to say the software simply doesn't work even trying all the options presented by the website. so basically in a netshell, compared with the Nokia N95 (which is over 5 years older, therefore might be considered by many to be out of date)..poor picture quality, poor video quality, poor call quality, non user freindly, too easy to run up a big bill, poor sound qulity, poor customer support, poor ease of use due to microscopic font sizes & small buttons & totally rubbish software. Would I recommend it? Not in a million years (though my wife likes it better than her phone- though I think that says more about her phone, a very basic Samsung!

love my optimus me..i ve been using it for 2 weeks and no cons so far..battery lasts more than 48 hours.. can be easily carried in my jean pocket..if you want to try an android phone without paying a fortune and do not care about suberb pic or screen resolution quality (resolution is OK for me by the way) this is the one you should consider to buy..

got it saturday...taking it back today. compared to my last non android LG this is a step back. yes it has a lot of xtras, but sound quality of calls is abysmal. i did'nt recognise my wife or my sister when they called. had to look at the number to check, and they said it didn't sound clear. where is the txt log? even the bloke at Tesco couldn't find it?
