Gizmodo“The edges of the touchscreen are less responsive than the rest of it—when you flip to the QWERTY layout for text messaging, for instance, you might have to tap the space button more than once, or at least aim for the top of it (in the gallery there’s a picture of me mashing the center of the key HARD but it’s still not registering).”

“For starters, the touch screen just isn’t on par with the rest of the competition. Also, some of the applications and menus aren’t as intuitive as the others.”

I am on my third LG Vu in a little over a week from Best Buy. The first 2 phones died after a day of use. Could not get the display to come on after charging all night. I had my third LG VU phone for two days now. The problem with this phone is I never get more then 2 bars of signal. I can not make calls at my office desk with this phone. With my old Motorola Razor V3 I always had 3 bars of single at my desk. I had to get out of my car for the first time to call my girlfriend to let her know that I have arrived at her apartment the Lg Vu would not work in the car.
Is the Lg Vu a weaker preforming phone then Motorola Razor V3? or should I take it back to Best Buy for another phone again?

this phone has given me lil to no troble but there is the fact that i cant put my own music to be the textmessage ringer and the fact i cant have mving pictures as my wallpaper. my friends has an lg phone and she can put videos as her wallpaper does anyone know how to go around this or am i just screwed with this?
I love my Vu I purchased just so i can watch tv at work the everything works great but i do have some complaints i wish their were more tv chanels and so many sports and news chanels and that we could pick and choose what chanels we wanted but other than that its really cool and love it
You most likely have the Cu915 which is the older vu, they have a new one the Cu920 which has gps, but yes i am a fingerprint freak.
I love the phone… dang the 1st time you start using it………..It like taking
an intellegence test. I would like to have had a manuel instead of the CD, which was a joke.
