I owned this phone for two years.Reception quality is pretty good. It's 4 ounces, which is fairly lightweight, and it's pretty small - fits in a pocket nicely. The lack of an antenna is also nice when you're carrying it around, and like I said before, the reception is still pretty good. The sliding mechanism made it a breeze to operate one-handed, too, and I thought the controls were fairly intuitive.On the bad side... the keys are so small, and have that curved angle on them, that it makes it nearly impossible to become fast at text messaging. And the phone isn't without problems... it would randomly shut down on me after I'd had it for a year (and I was always careful with this phone). FYI, replacing the battery fixed that one for me (but the battery still worked fine in another phone). The camera is TERRIBLE. The pictures are just awful, no matter what settings you use. No video support either, but that didn't really matter to me. And 1024KB of internal memory really just doesn't cut it... take a few pics, add a few MIDI ringtones, and your phone is full. I'm not talking outrageous numbers of pictures and ringtones here... one megabyte of memory does not store that much these days when it comes to pictures and sound.Also, the phone has some nice features, but Sprint disables all of them, either because they want you to pay THEM to use stuff that's already built into your phone, or... well, I can't really explain why they crippled all the stuff they did. For example, this phone features:Full on Bluetooth - I wanted to pair it with my Bluetooth PDA to export contacts and calender info. Guess what? Sprint crippled the Bluetooth, so I can't. All you can do is use a bluetooth headset - everything else is disabled.Speakerphone - nope, Sprint disabled it.MP3 ringtones - nope, Sprint disabled it. Why?!? Although, admittedly, the 1MB memory limitations on this phone would make it difficult to store MP3 ringtones and still leave any space.Get the idea? Decent phone.... IF IT WASN'T CRIPPLED BY SPRINT. Now it becomes an "OK" phone that lacks features.While my experience with this phone wasn't terrible, I'll admit that LG generally makes products that lack greatly in the quality department. However, my phone (aside from the battery replacement issue mentioned earlier) made it to 2 years before I needed to replace it. It started rebooting every 20 seconds. Can't use a phone that does that! I brought it into Sprint and they gave me a new phone for $35, and even managed to transfer my phone numbers. I can't really complain about that. Sayonara, LG-PM325!The main reason I got it was its size, shape, and slider, and I wasn't disappointed with that. But between the memory limitations and the features Sprint has disabled... buyer beware.
