The LG F9100

This technical LG F9100 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it is not a live hands-on review. It takes an in-depth look at its good and not-as-good features to help you make an informed decision.

Also take a look at my user reviews of the LG F9100.

The Good:

  1. Technology: The LG F9100 works with worldwide frequencies of the GSM standard which is convenient if you travel overseas frequently. (Roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  2. Talk Time: 270 minutes of talk time. It is very good! (score: 20/20)
  3. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 330 hours. It is very good! (score: 20/20)
  4. Full Keyboard: It includes a full keyboard. Useful not just when typing text but also when browsing the wireless web and adding new phone book entries. (score: 7/7)
  5. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Average:

  1. Phone Book: 255 entries. This is sufficient for most users. (score: 12/20)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 4.41 oz of weight is a little bit above average. You may find that phone slightly too big. (score: 4/20)
  2. Speakerphone: It doesn't appear to include a speakerphone, which could be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)

Overall Score: 77
