LG has been leaving a bit of a sour taste in my mouth lately. It started with my parents experience with the Env3, two phones that both had to be returned, and my sisters phone, an Evn2, buttons that just plain straight don't work. I've had the LG...

LG has really impressed us this year with a number of innovative handsets that offer rich feature sets and beautiful designs--the LG VX8550 Chocolate and the LG Voyager VX10000 are just two that have especially garnered our affections. Now LG has come...

The LG Venus' touch screen is a bit gimmicky and takes some getting used to, and there aren't any touch-sensitivity settings for it. The camera has no flash and no self-portrait mirror
The LG Venus is a beautiful slider phone with a great feature set, but we would recommend taking the time to get used to the unusual touch-screen controls.
Its features aren't too shabby either, with a 2-megapixel camera, a music player, 3G support, V Cast support, and more. It's also not terribly expensive at $199.99 after a $50 discount and a two-year contract with VerizonWireless. To find accessories...

The phone's unique interface pops up when you slide the screen up to reveal the comfortable physical phone keypad. Immediately, the two screens on the phone's top half light up. The main screen is a 320-by-240 LCD, and just below it, there's a...
Luxurious feel. Innovative touch-screen interface
Touch buttons are ever so slightly sluggish. Incompatible with one Bluetooth headset we tested. Expensive
The LG Venus is an attractive phone with a new touch-screen interface, but other models provide similar or better performance for less money.

Venus' half-touch/half-not display is an interesting idea that ultimately frustrated me more than it charmed me. The screens are beautiful and the morphing menus great, but I found myself wanting to touch the entire screen and not just the lower...
Beautiful display ; Context-sensitive menus ; Extensive feature set ; VZ Navigation works very well
Half a touchscreen sometimes feels gimmicky and frustrating ; Touch controls sometimes unresponsive ; Poor voice quality with unacceptable hiss on some calls ; Somewhat bulky overall

The LG Venus from Verizon has the looks of a sleek business device and the functionality of a mid-range music handset. It's basically a Chocolate Vx8550 with a nicer-looking case and a small touchscreen where the D-pad array should be. In fact, the...
In the end, what is there to say about the Venus that we haven't explicitly dwelled on already? The Venus has definite problems, yes, but it performs its focal actions well. It's meant to be a good looking music player, and it's exactly that. How can...
