The slide phone design is pretty cool I have to admit, but with this model, as with other slide phones, there has been some reports of durability problems. I don’t think it’s the smartest way to build a phone, but again, style over functionality. The bad part is youth are fairly abusive to their phones too. For that reason I would suggest buying little Johnny a different cell model.

The LG Venus also has a built in touch screen which even I have to admit is pretty cool. The only problem with the touch screen on this model is it’s a little finicky and complicated to navigate. The cell phone does have buttons hidden behind the slider.

The phone is a full-fledged 3G V Cast phone, so you’ll get all the usual amenities, including VZ Navigator and V Cast Videos and Music. No V Cast Mobile TV, for that you’ll need to upgrade to the LG Voyager, LG’s even-larger new touch screen phone.

Anyway at least it’s a step up from the cheaply constructed LG Chocolate, but personally I’d spend the extra money and get the LG Voyage model. Finally I give it 3.5/5.
