5.0/5 bars, about 1 year ago by Ringtone Los Altos, CA - See all my reviews

The Sprint music by LG is a really amazing phone. It's chock-full of entertainment in a relatively small package. The phone is about the same size and weight as a Motorola RAZR. The screen is bright. Overall, I was really impressed with everything that is offered by this phone. It’s extremely complete.

As the name implies, it plays music. The MUZIQ has a 3.5 mm stereo headset jack on one side and also has a micro SD card slot you can add additional memory for songs. The phone only comes with a 64 MB card so you'll most likely have to upgrade that if you intend to store any serious about music. Amazingly the phone comes with an FM transmitter so you can play music through any FM stereo. It has advanced stereo Bluetooth headset capability.

On the phone, there's a music store where you can browse through featured music categories of what's hot you can also search for music. The store is powered by Groove Mobile. You can listen to samples, browse the cover artwork, and purchase a song for $.99 that is then automatically downloaded directly to your phone using Sprint's 3G network. There are also some free tracks available. Overall I found the performance of the online store to be pretty good, and only once was a store not available. It also comes with Sprint Music Manager Software which requires marks of Windows XP service pack 2 or later.

There's a music player where you can organize your music and create play lists. You can see your songs by artist or genre. The MUZIQ has a navigation control on the cover along with a second screen so when you close it you can still play your music is playing. When music is not playing, and the second screen shows the date and time or caller ID information when incoming call is coming in. It's easy to adjust the volume using a rocker switch on the side of the flip and the phone can put out a fairly level of loud sound.

The MUZIQ has a 1.3 megapixel camera and video camcorder. It's nice that it includes flash as well although I had problems in getting the flash to work. Also awesome is that you can watch live TV on the phone. They are channels such as CNN, Fox Sports, The Weather Channel he ABC News, Comedy Central, etc. This is powered by MobiTV. I shot a short video of watching TV on the phone so you get a feeling for the experience.

The phone also plays games and comes with demos of about five different games. It has vibration. It would've been nice if they'd come with one or two fully licensed games. You can also download ring tones (called ringers) screensavers, and themes using Sprint Power Vision.

The phone comes with Sprint on Demand services for news, weather, sports, movies, money and other information. I found the on-demand application interesting but it often took some time to update all sets of difficulty setting and having it remember my default locations for weather and music and movies.

The interface on the phone is polished and attractive. It's got pretty much anything you would imagine a modern phone including a web browser, call history, contacts, notes, tasks, and calendar applications. If anything it's probably a bit overwhelming for most people. These applications however our basic like for example a contacts list will only allow you to store up to 500 entries and five phone numbers per entry. This is probably more than enough for more non-business users. And sometimes the software got a little bit too much in the way with annoying confirmation dialogs like, “Do you want to exit this application?" So while the phone definitely has a time of things to offer, for me the biggest challenge was just to get to them all, and how much time you have to burn being entertained.

The phone comes with a data cable, charger, and a headset for listening to music plus instruction manuals and a CD with the Spring Music Manger store.
