Thought I'd post a pic of myself taken with the M4410...it's camera is supposedly 1.3megapixels...You judge for yourself. And no, it doesn't come with image stabilizer.

I beg to differ as I've had no problems downloading files as large as 900KB from BBC's wap site (last night). Been clicking about today with no hassles. Also, never wait longer than a minute to access 808. But for assistance with WAP issues rather call 1555 (free call) for their Advance Data help desk.
To ensure that I get your response plse priv message me.

@jitesh: Thankfully I haven't had to replace my joystick although many SE users have complained about it. I just blow around it.
Last wk I upgraded to the latest fw RY...the phone is much more stable. Now I can't play 3gp files saved in the "Other" folder.
I also can't seem to open 3Darts and Super Real Tennis. Overall I'm much happier.

Seems as if this problem is fairly common, i've noticed quite a few ppl here mentioning that problem. I tend to keep the area surrounding my 6600's joystick scrupulously clean as well, not that i allow the phone to become dirty :-) I'd think that the joystick is covered under warranty, Jits, unless it's been specifically excluded in your policy.

@the krypsta: Congrats on 500 posts.
One of SE's weaknesses is the poor quality of their joysticks... The best joysticks were in the T68/300... It should be noted with care you wouldn't need to replace your joystick. Try to minimise use, especially when playing games.

Hmmm, some games are quite joystick-intensive, for want of a better term. The only games i have are Stacker and MauMau, both very mild on joystick usage. By the way, what's the memory capacity of that LG, boet?

Internal memory is about 1.5MB...it also comes with a 64MB miniSD card and an adaptor. What irks me is that this phone neither plays .3gp or mp4 videos. KAK phone...it can't even detect the walk n talk which I plugged in...my K700 easily detects it's walk n talk and goes into the appropriate profile.

No offence to those using LG but imho household appliance manufacturers should confine themselves to the manufacturing of refrigerators, microwave ovens and the like, at least until they get the recipe right.

They tend to overload their forays into other fields with unnecessary frills. I had the opportunity to put a buddy's Daewoo pistol thru its paces a few months ago. I went thru a box of ammo trying to get to grips with the firearm, found it to have way too many levers, buttons and assorted fripperies that weren't essential. I'd far rather have my old but trusty Browning in a sticky situation. Come to think of it, i'd far rather not be in the sticky situation in the first place. Been in too many situations to wana be in more @Mario, i've got the world's respect for you guys, it's a thankless job you're doing.


EDIT- @Brix, 1.5mb is really woefully inadequate for a handset which, in theory, makes wonderful promises...
