Most people coming to see these reviews are probably Latin American, likely to be from Venezuela,Ecuador, Colombia,Peru and Chile so I''ll give you guys some heads up on how everything worked out and how it is working for me. For starters, YES, you can use this phone almost everywhere in the world. I get HSPA+ here in Colombia, and it works really well. The cellphone is clearly brought from Europe and quite honestly I couldn''t care less about it. I somehow expected the box to be completely sealed when It arrived, but it wasn''t, I can see they needed to include the EU-to-US AC Adapter, so I don''t really mind as long as it is a new phone. This was my only complaint about the product though, my EU-to-US Adapter was not working out of the box. I didn''t mind as I have tons of these over here, but it could be an annoyance to someone else. Overall, the transaction with Hassle Free was excellent and pretty fluid.Now, as far as THE ACTUAL PHONE goes:This phone has been slowly becoming a favorite within countries where prices are usually STUPID high even with 2 or 3 year contracts as it is, spec-wise, an amazing phone...LG''s 2012 Flagship, the first QuadCore smartphone announced in history and one of the finest screens around. It''s LG, you can count on it having great Hardware...and terrible Software. I was quite surprised with LG UI 3.0, it is incredibly customizable, didn''t even feel the need to download a Launcher right away as I do with other phones. It is, looks-wise, comparable to Samsung''s own TouchWiz but without the stutter and unoptimized mess.INTERFACE: LG UI 3.0 is quite customizable and one of the best in the market, not as "serious" looking as Sony''s Xperia or HTC''s Sense, but it doesn''t need to be...it is INCREDIBLY customizable.BATTERY: 2150 mha of pure energy...well not really, but it lasts me the day if with auto brightness (starting point 35%) and using 2G services while using the typical Whatsapp, FB Chat, FB, Twitter, some calls and some internet browsing.SPEED: AS long as you don''t update to Jellybean incorrectly (keep reading), the phone is incredibly snappy.OS: What? OS? Yes...there was a hidden tracker left in the JellyBean update for this phone, but you can disable it if you use the hidden menu by calling 3845#*880* and Disabling MLT. It drains your RAM and BAttery, so IF you decide on updating to Jellybean...you''re warned (and you have been told the solution)STURDINESS: Wow...yes...it is plastic...but OMG is it sturdy. It can resist quite a beating and it''s as light as a feather.SCREEN: Simply beautiful...I never understood when people would compare IPS LCD to Super AMOLED...but now I see the difference and boy, is it a good screen. It is amazing, but it was expected being LG, founder of the tech.OVERALL: This is an amazing phone, as it stands, it''s only competitor in its price range is the Google Nexus 4...but if you are from somewhere outside the "First World" (hush hush....most people in this review section), this is a definite must buy. I do NOT recommend updating to JellyBean unless you are rooting and booting another ROM, but this is quite a sensational phone and bang for your buck. The camera isn''t the best under low-light conditions, but I couldn''t care less...if that''s your cup of tea. The Volume buttons are incredibly weird, but they work fine. Overall a great product.
