LG Marquee Phone Review by Middletown Gal on amazon.com Jun 15, 2012

My First Android by Kiki2 on qvc.com Apr 29, 2012
" I just love this phone! It has a 1 gig processor, It is speedy and doesn't lag when changing screens. The 4 inch screen is bright and the colors are so vivid. I love being able to check my emails and browsing the web. The quality of the phone calls ...
 
Pleasantly surprised by XAQ208 on bestbuy.com Dec 8, 2011
Due to stocking issues I had to take this phone instead of the "power-house" type phone i had wanted. I was not happy about taking what seemed like a cheap phone, and planed to exchange it as soon as a could. After using it for a week or so i am actually ...

Screen is amazing. I'm a big fan of the newest Android 2.3, so this phone is a dream come true. I don't use the Sprint ID much, but I'm excited to try it out over the next few weeks. Sprint has good service in my area (San Francisco) and I'm really happy ...
 
GREAT PHONE!!! :-) by wetbiker7 on cnet.com Jun 12, 2012
This is an awesome little phone that does what's it's supposed to do and more. The phone will need to be rooted to unlock it's full potential but once that's done you're off to the races. Mine is running at 1.4GHz right now and IT WILL support the larger ...

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED by RN 1975 on amazon.com May 17, 2012
I purchased this phone in mid March this year. A little over a month later the phone shuts off and won't turn on. I sent it to LG and they told me it has EXTENSIVE CORROSION even though the phone has never touched any water while in my possession. Then ...

Poor Battery Life by Lulilavita on cnet.com Mar 14, 2012
I have owned two of these phones for 1 week now. My husband and I both purchased this phone from the Boost mobile website. We wanted a sleek looking 5mp camera android phone on a no-contract service with a good service. We did the research, and purchased ...

Phone sucks...battery life awful The first model I received from Let's Talk.com was unpredictable, did not want to restart, had to call to reboot 2-3 times, plus getting a replacement was more trouble than it was worth...Call quality is not good at all...Other than that it is very, very nice...

LG Marquee LS855 - User opinions and reviews
I'd been using the Samsung Galaxy Prevail on Boost Mobile for over a year (bought it the minute it came out), recently upgraded to (this) LG Marquee...One of the few demerits I have with the LG Marquee, is that the Charging Port is on the Top of the phone...Overall - anybody who is sitting on the fence with this, take one look at the ZTE Warp from Boost...between optimus black either of the 2 version is that this LG Marquee LS855 has more upgraded feature...

LG Marquee (Boost Mobile) Review | Android Smartphone Reviews
Bright and colorful display; Svelte lightweight profile; Affordable monthly plan...Short battery life; Weak speakers; Below-average performance scores...The LG Marquee is making the jump from Sprint to no-contract land...But is the Marquee worth $279 up front for Boost's savings over the long haul...The power button, headphone jack and microUSB slot reside on the top of the Marquee while the volume and Quick Launch buttons are on the left...Click to Enlarge...

LG Marquee Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
The LG Marquee has a svelte and ultralight design that complements its stunning Nova display...It has a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing...I don't dig the LG Marquee's sluggish performance and oddball Mobile ID customization feature....Boost customer service was NOT acceptable on this issue...We did the research, and purchased it knowing about the 4 cons mentioned...We wanted a sleek looking 5mp camera android phone on a no-contract service...

LG Marquee (Boost Mobile) Review & Rating | PCMag.com
Super-bright screen...Thin design...Comfortable to hold and use...Good call quality....Bluetooth audio issues while watching videos....The $279.99 LG Marquee probably won't make anyone cancel their current contract and rush over to Boost, but its exceptionally bright, rich display delivers a bit more wow than anything else on Boost right now...A good deal of the Marquee's appeal lies with its design...Viewing angles are excellent, and the Marquee is especially...
