Could you ask for more

polywood223 · Feb 22, 2013

I've had my motion since it came out no problems what so ever I found myself wondering could I ask for more from my phone just wondering if anyone felt the same?

unnamedny · Feb 22, 2013

only other thing could be a better battery. If you dont mind the thickness of your phone, its achievable

The missing 1" of Gorilla Glass.

A LED

A hard wake button

OR

A redesigned more "sensitive" power button. (That works better under a case)

As good as the Motion is, it ain't perfect. Still, thanks mainly to the subsidy from the Mothership it's a great deal on a great phone.

Hands down the best phone i have had from metro, the LED is no biggy for me I just push the wake button if I need to check if i have any messages or notifications. A bigger screen would be nice but not a reason for me to switch

Best phone I've had on metro.
I think it would be perfect if the screen was a bit bigger, but i'm used to 3.5" screens so it isn't that big of a deal. Other than that, it is perfect!

I've had bigger screens I'd rather have a functional phone

Remember, this is LG MOTION discission, not Spirit discission.

pl4life52 · Feb 23, 2013

Yeah with the spirit you got both but is 1 inch worth 200

flyingcloud11 · Feb 24, 2013

what is it with people wanting large screens. Phones are used to make calls and sms period. All other features are extra and not mandatory to have a functional device. For me the motion's screen is just fine. I'm able to read everything just fine and clearly. All apps work well with it's small screen.

Many people have more use for their phones than calling and texting. These are smart phones after all... If all someone needs is calls and texts they'd still be using feature phones.

Nope, but it dang sure IS worth the *$20* difference between the price of MY Motion and a Spirit w/rebate from Wirefly...

Motions are still going for $100 on The Bay now, even used. (They are That decent of a phone.)

But a used Motion for $100 or a New 1" More Motion for $70 more?...

You tell me...

+1 on the best Metro phone I've ever had, and I've had four of 'em now.

Screen size is a bit of give and take. Hey folks, I'm a greybeard, eyes ain't all they once was! I've got a larger phone for work... but I'm still using my Motion for most things. That could be familiarity, or it could be the screen on the ATT while contrasty is a sort of yellowish tint that makes it harder to read.

True, but in the long run, you pay less

oh no, it was something i was asking for lol but who knows if firmware would fix that

sincarafan · Feb 25, 2013

I have firmware f on mine and my battery lasts a heck of a lot longer then it did on d. I didnt even have e at all. Got the phone with d and f came out a week later. I don't run a lot on the phone though.

Only thing I think could be better with the Motion is a better speaker so I can hear calls more clear.

Sepero · Feb 25, 2013

I've used the Galaxy S3 and it's much more preferable to me, but then again I understand not everyone desires a large screen. For me, I'd prefer this-

Slide out keyboard (or bigger screen)
Led (I hate having to turn my screen on to check alerts)
Unlocked bootloader
Much better camera (LG Motion tends to have a yellow tinted camera. I would even prefer a better camera than the S3 has for low light pictures.)
Better audio speakers

Granted though, this is me being very picky. Overall, I'd say it's a great phone for its price.

IMHO, I would say that the LG Motion actually has one strong advantage over the S3- all buttons are non-physical. It's really weird (unergonomic) that Samsung made the home button physical, and the menu+back non-physical.
