The LG t5100

The following technical LG t5100 review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is not an actual hands-on review. It takes an in-depth look at its strong and weak points so that you make an informed decision.

The Good:

  1. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 200 hours. It is above average! (score: 16/20)
  2. 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. Weight: The LG t5100 weighs 4.19 ounces , which is very average. (score: 8/20)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Talk Time: A talk time of 150 minutes. This is just basic. (score: 8/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can only store 65,000 phone book entries. If you have many business contact or friends, this may not be enough for you. (Find phones with more phone book entries) (score: 4/20)
  3. Speakerphone: It does not seem to have a speakerphone, which could be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)
