Best at the basic stuff! by vgupta1 on cnet.com May 26, 2010
I just switched from T-mobile and was fed up of there poor quality phones, not to mention the network. In my opinion the primary job of a cell phone is to be able to take and receive calls/text messages with as much convenience and comfort as possible. ...
 
Simple, Functional, Just Right by Timothy D. Hall "Tim" on amazon.com May 7, 2010
Refusing to purchase a smart phone and the $30 / month data plan that must be purchased with it, I opted for an Ipod Touch (for the PDA I need) and the Accolade, for the simple phone I need. It's everything I wanted - just a phone that is easy to use ...
 
Good basic phone. by ericpass on bestbuy.com Sep 15, 2011
I got this phone for my mom, who is in her late 70's. She needed a basic phone, but wanted a camera. So far, she is very happy with it.

Now THIS is a phone! by ampyun on cnet.com May 4, 2010
This is first and foremost a cell phone! It's great in its simplicity. It has all the features I need. Any more, and I would just waste time doing pointless things on my phone when I should be working. The best feature is probably the quick keys and additional ...

Poor battery life. by BobHH on bestbuy.com May 17, 2011
I have had this phone for 6 weeks. Battery life was good at first but now the battery will not last for 24 hours without recharging. If I make 1 call a day it is a lot, I am a very light user. The photo button is poorly located and you end up taking a ...
 
This phone is lousy....DO NOT BUY.....RUN AWAY!!!! by undermine on cnet.com Sep 30, 2010
guess I will have a new phone. They said it wasn't the phone. So when the new one comes, if it takes pocket pictures, I will be sending it back. Nice to keep UPS in business. This is the first cell phone I have ever had problems with. Verizon claimed ...

Battery lasted only 6 weeks by Bob "Bob" on amazon.com May 18, 2011
I've had this phone for only 6 weeks and the battery charge will not last 24 hours on standby. I contacted LG and they told me to send them the battery so they could "repair" it. How do you "repair" a battery? Now I have to buy a new battery so that I ...
 
Not a pleasant phone to own by Carlos Pereyra "beendoingitforyears" on amazon.com Feb 20, 2011

Pleasant, compact design...Big numeric keypad...Good voice quality...Excellent battery life....No music player or video recorder...Very little internal memory....The Accolade measures 3.6 by 1.8 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and weighs three ounces...Verizon calls the Accolade "blue," but in person it looks more like charcoal grey...An indent along the side makes it easy to flip the Accolade open with one hand...The Accolade is a dual-band 1xRTT CDMA (800/1900 MHz) device...
