    I purchasing a unlocked phone and before I did I inquired if the phone would work with my carrier with the response "yes". I made the purchase. When I went to my carrier they said this phone isn't compatible. So when I went back to return it the Manager told me there is a restocking fee that I sign for. That would of been fine if I was returning it for any other reason, but I was told it would work and it didn't, so I ask for a full refund. I was giving a hard time and eventually the manager gave in with a attitude to me. Grant it I wasn't very pleasant when she said my hands are tied and couldn't refund the full value.

    I have always had good experience with L G products. I like things to work without a whole lot of thinking. The initial set up was easy enough, although I did check with a tech to make sure I didn't leave anything out.

    The screen turned black within 20 minutes of use. This phone was still erasing data from a previous user. Best Buy online sold me a defective phone that was owned by another user who apparently sent it to Best Buy return center in Shepherdsville, Kentucky or perhaps a third party reseller. Best Buy is not really the Best Buy. I sent another review of this phone. I'm trying to find out where Best Buy listed this review. I don't see where twenty-five points is given.

    Defective or resold LG K 51 cell phone

    I ordered a new LG K 51 cell phone at full price through Best Buy online. When I received the delayed order I turned the phone on and a spinning disk and the word "erasing' appeared. There is no way a cell phone would be erasing if there was nothing to erase. The phone had been previously owned or was defective. I contacted the Best Buy Corporate Office . The customer service employee was excellent, helpful and very nice. He said return the phone for a replacement. In the meantime I received a "new" LG K 51 phone by UPS. When I turned it on a spinning disk appeared with the word erasing. Shortly after using the phone the screen started hopping around without being touched. The screen suddenly went black with the icons still visible. The malfunction is apparently intermittent and the phone seems to be functioning at least for now. Best Buy Corporation is reselling returned electronics or selling defective merchandise. This is a buyer beware review. I'm putting this gist of this review on several websites to see if other Best Buy customers have received online electronics and noticed the spinning disk and word erasing when the electronic was turned on. I bought several LG cell phones from Best Buy. None of them were erasing data when I turned them on. This could be some sort of manufacturers defect specific to the LG K 51 phones. The individual employees of Best Buy have all been excellent. Selling defective or returned phones are corporate level decisions that reflect bad faith to buyers. I sent information to the Federal Trade Commission. If other customers experienced a Best Buy problem similar to mine the FTC may know.

    Michael helped me pick out what I needed and then transferred all my info from a screenless phone. He went out of his way to make the sale an exceptional experience.

    This phone is fine for the basics . Does and has what I need . Camera works ok for regular pictures , But , clarity and definition not so good for detailed pictures (such as things with print ) needs better options , Auto Focus , Dark areas ... Am disappointed that it does not have sound when taking Videos . I videoed an awesome Caribbean Band , got home to play it and no sound !
