Review: Great Phone! - I purchased this LG840G phone as an upgrade from my current Tracfone. It is easy to navigate and the larger screen size is a plus. You can adjust the settings (color, font size, etc.) and also choose your own screen photo from one of several included or upload your own. The touchscreen is great especially when you have been accustomed to a flip phone. Calling is easy whether dialing the number or choosing from one of your saved contacts. This LG840G also shuts down when not in use so you save battery life. I only charged this phone for a short time when I received it. For those who only want a phone (and/or a camera for those moments you want to capture with family and friends), this is the one to get. You can go online or call a Tracfone representative to transfer your current Tracfone minutes & phone #. What sold me was the reviews for this phone. With the many features included--Bluetooth, email, games, camera & video, music player, etc. you get so much for the money. With a price point less than $40.00 with free S&H from a great seller on desertcart this made the choice even more attractive! Tracfone. No monthly billing, no "extras or frills" you may not want or need. A wise choice for yourself as a first time cell phone purchaser, an upgrade from a flip phone or for someone as a gift. Plus you get triple minutes for life. No matter the reason for choosing this phone, it is well worth it.
Review: Hello Kitty - This is a good starter phone that would have any rug-rat convinced they can mimic Mom on her iPhone. There are a lot of reports about the 840's problematic Wi-Fi provision, and I am somewhat disappointed that mine also arrived with that same defect. I had more plans for this little phone that is just one step short of being an Android, and certainly the many comments and YouTube videos tell a different story of success for the many avid enthusiasts happily using this phone. But attempts to upgrade my old Tracfone began a chain of problems that finalized with a realization that its Wi-Fi would not be working for me, and ironically any further attempt to return this phone would result in a loss of remaining service time. Tracfone has more control over their phones than what they would readily reveal, but it's hardly worth the time involved in getting everything corrected when I would never consider using it in place of an Android anyway. The 840's Web browser is very basic. LG also made an attempt to provide a suitable clipboard memory in this 840, but unfortunately that fell short of expectations as well, so it's one and only success remains in its Bluetooth provision that received some improvement over its LG800G predecessor. Bluetooth remains as its one shining ability other than being a truly reliable text/voice phone that is made even less costly by allowing triple minutes. We can hope that the successor of this phone will be better provisioned and include reliable components, so if not yet decided about this phone, then I would suggest passing this one up for now in favor of the much more extensive and rewarding abilities provided in a variety of other smartphones that sell for about the same price as this mere toy. UPDATE: July 29, 2013 I made corrections above regarding this smartphone and should also state that a fair appraisal of this little phone would also include some features I neglected to cover previously. In fact it has a couple more rather welcome and significant improvements over its LG800G predecessor, the first being its ability to be connected to a PC as a mass storage device. This allows data files, videos, music, pics, etc. to be copied or moved from your PC directly to the phone's internal memory so they can be viewed, played, or sent by this phone. Secondly, it shows a superb ability to play recorded movies or video and sound podcasts and mp3 music. Videos must be converted first and conform to sizing specifications, and the directions for doing all of this can be found with a search of the Web.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter phone for kids, looks like a smartphone
*by J***T on September 16, 2014*

Bought this for our son who isn't ready for a full fledged smart phone on our plan yet, but I wanted him to have a prepaid phone that would be a good "starter" phone and this fit the bill. We have our prepaid thru Tracfone and that way he can't accidentally go over minutes. He's able to text and talk it has and MP3 feature on it and you can even load videos on it (3gpp) but to load videos you will have to know how to convert videos to the correct format, which if you do a little internet research will not be hard to learn. You can get on the internet with this phone over wifi but it's just so cumbersome and awful I wouldn't advise trying. Other features include a calculator, alarm, notes, calendar, camera, video-camera, contacts, and games among other things. What this phone CAN'T do is download apps like a regular smart phone can. There are sort of apps I think from tracfone like maybe ringtones or some games I think, very minimal stuff that you can get... but it's so limited that it's not even really worth talking about. This would be an excellent phone for someone who is looking for just a basic phone for calling - no frills... or maybe a starter phone for a kid something that has the LOOK of a smart phone but that ISN'T a smartphone. My son's friends think he has a smart phone but he has to tell them it's really not. they think it looks like an "iphone" because it's white.
