 | High-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network: The dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network provides up to 3.6/7.2 Mbps of download speed, making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. |
 | Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality enables you to instantly contact any other AT&T user. PTT works across the entire network to make sure you have a clear signal so you can get things done. Easy-to-read icons let you know when members of your contact list are available, not available, or have their status set to "Do Not Disturb." You can also set your own status to let others know that you're busy. When a quick PTT call needs to be a longer discussion convert the call easily to a regular voice call--works for one-to-one calls as well as group calls. Save time on group calling by pulling up your contacts and simply "marking" those you wish to include on a call--no need to set up and save groups before calling, unless you want to.

 | The full-featured, premium AT&T Navigator GPS navigation application includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.

 | AT&T Mobile Music enables you to buy tracks while on the go, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal.

 | AT&T's Video Share service enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

LG GU 295 Problematic
April 7, 2011
Reviewer: Jeffrey
I got new LG GU 295 phone Oct. 2010. The first one would go to sleep/hibernate randomly and would not turn back on until the battery was taken out, replaced, and then it could be turned on. Because it happened at random, it was annoying. I finally got a replacement, after dealing with it for a while and not knowing what was going on with it. I finally called AT&T customer service and warranty dept, which are o.k. and nice, helpful; apparently they all use the same scripts; I have talked to them several times in past few days) and got a refurbished phone at local AT&T warranty center last week, and found out a couple of days later that it would not ring or vibrate with incoming calls. I went to an AT&T warranty center in a different state, (I had to go out-of-town for a couple of days) and all that center did was give me a new simm card and told me that AT&T was in process of going from 3-G to 4-G and that hearing my incoming calls would be sporadic. Well, the phone still does not ring and the local AT&T customers I talked to said their service is perfect. Hmmmmm. Interesting that AT&T customer service and warranty exchange center can make it ring, but no other incoming calls can. Sigh. So, I am writing this and will contact customer chat copy and paste it into the chat window. I still had to call them and they are sending me a replacement phone via mail. Other things I do not like about the phone is that when you have it locked, it does not stay locked, and sometimes I pull it out of its carrying case, on the internet or in other functions that cost money, and I am charged, and do not know how long I may have been there because there is no beep or tone to let you know that the lock is off. I do not use phone to surf web, download apps or music, and it is sort of o.k. for texting. To keep it from accessing internet I have to dig down into a menu option and set the phone there when I put it back into my pocket or into it's case. This is the first slider phone I have had and I do not like it. A BIG ISSUE WITH DESIGN is that it is its RAISED NAVIGATION HUB, you know, right, left, up, down arrows and O.K. in center. It is very easy to slip off key and accidentally navigate away from a text message, or in the middle of adding a contacts info, or activate a pay per app. A flatter or squarer style would be more user friendly to my way of thinking. I really liked the Motorola flip that I had been using. So, buyer beware that the LG GU 295 has some manufacturing flaws and quirks that are problematic.

Worst phone ever
January 18, 2012
Reviewer: Akira Konya
Ok, maybe not THE worst phone EVER, but it's pretty bad. Let me list the main reasons:
- The bad grip on the sliding parts. It's very difficult to slide the phone open, especially if your hands are a little dry. The back side has some light texturing on it which helps a little, but the front is completely smooth. You either have to press down so hard on the screen to get enough traction that you see little waves of color on it (which can't be good for the phone) or push up on the tapered edge at the bottom, which will probably just result in your fingers sliding up and mashing the buttons. I have missed a lot of calls because I just can't open the damn thing.
- The whole interface is designed to make you spend money on apps and data costs. First off, the button in the middle of all the directional buttons (with the AT&T logo on it) automatically takes you to some "AT&T Mobile Web" thing, which uses data. Continuing on to the main menu, there are 9 options. 5 of them are for services that use data or are selling something (AppCenter, Mobile Web, AT&T Music) or cost money to set up (Yellow Pages Mobile, AT&T GPS) In addition, many of the sub-menus contain the same stuff: the first option in "Settings > Audio & Ringtones" is "Shop Ringtones" which takes you to some AT&T mobile website to sell you ringtones. Likewise with wallpapers. I also love how the address book is called the "AT&T Address Book." Like there's something special about the address books that AT&T puts on their phones. I guess they couldn't resist the chance to plaster their brand name all over the device, because having their logo and "AT&T" embossed right above the screen, the words "AT&T" appearing in the middle of the screen over your background picture, and having a special AT&T button to go to an AT&T website to find out about more new and exciting AT&T products just wasn't enough.
- I am convinced that they keyguard function does not work at all on this phone. EVERY SINGLE TIME I take it out of my pocket, it has found it's way ass-deep into some menu or on that stupid Mobile Web crap (which costs data)
- It comes with a bunch of crap you cannot delete. Pictures, ringtones, etc. that I will NEVER use. Why don't they just allow you to delete them, but make them available for download on their AT&T Mobile Web? They certainly love to promote it
- The buttons are way too close together, particularly the top ones. This often results in hitting the "off/hangup" button when in the middle of typing a text message, which results in the message being saved to drafts and closing the text message editor. You then have the Herculean task of navigating that menu full of crap that costs money to get back to the message you were attempting to type (watch out for "Mobile Email" on the way to the text message drafts folder)
- The T9 dictionary that is built into this phone is downright IDIOTIC. I remember having to manually type a lot of very common words because they were not in the dictionary. Also, when two words are typed with the same keys, it always seems to type the least common one first, and ALWAYS first (it does not remember which ones you use the most frequently and suggest those first) It types "book" instead of "cool." It types "adds" instead of "beer." Although the real kicker was when it typed "Khmer" instead of "kinda." I know "kinda" isn't actually a word, but you don't have to be that smart of a phone engineer to know that the teens and young adults of the texting generation are NOT going to be texting about the Khmer Rouge very often. I know some of you might be saying that it's an old phone and the predictive text technology just wasn't as good... But I had a Motorola Razr a couple years ago, and I didn't have anywhere NEAR the amount of problems with it as I do with the LG GU296.
In short: it's the Nickelback of phones (it sucks and it should just be loaded into a rocket and fired into the sun) The GU in the name stands for Give Up. Give Up on trying to do anything you would do with a normal phone with ease... Because you probably won't even be able to open this damn thing.

Drops Calls and Very Unreliable!
June 11, 2011
Reviewer: Dee (PA) -
Bought two LGU295 phones for me and my daughter. Just wanted simple and reliable phones. Worked well for about a month and then the problems began. Both of them drop calls 3-5 times a day and when I call others, 60% of the time, they can't hear me and I have to hang up and call back. I am returning them to LG due to the year warranty and hope they will fix them or replace. I bought these phones a little over two months ago.

Not pleased with phone at all
July 11, 2011
Reviewer: ding
Purchased phone mainly for voice recognition features. Will not recognize name and if it does,you have to speak so loud in the phone that the person in the car next to you can hear. Will go through all commands without getting the correct one. Very dissatisfied with phone.
