LG Accolade Review

The LG Accolade Gray is a basic mobile phone that offers some decent call quality. The older Accolade models tended to have a lot of hissing in the background during calls, but with this newest model this problem appears to have been fixed. Voices sound clear on both sides. The battery life of this phone is rated for 7.6 hours of talk time and 28 days of standby time, which is really a lot better than the little over 2 hours that you got with the older model.

With the LG Accolade VX5600 you get a nice looking phone that features a glossy grey finish; it measures 3.56 X 1.83 X 0.72 inches and weighs 3 ounces. Most LG Accolade reviews indicate that this phone is sturdy and feels solid when you hold it in your hand. The Accolade has an easy to use keypad, as well as some basic features, such as Bluetooth, duel display, as well as 1.3-megapixel camera.

The simple design of this flip phone is meant to make communication simple. Though it doesn’t place a lot of emphasis on extras, it is an okay communication device. The call quality is fair, though not so good with the speakerphone; in addition the LG VX5600 Accolade does not record video.

One of the better features of the Accolade is that it is free when you sign a service contract agreement with Verizon Wireless. Some of the features that you get with the LG Accolade Gray include a phonebook that will hold up to 1000 contacts, plus there is a notepad, world clock, and a stopwatch, as well as an alarm clock. There is a calendar, tip calculator, and 25 polyphonic ringtones, plus multimedia and text messaging.

Though there are not a lot in the way of advanced features, the LG Accolade does offer a few, including access to your email, support for GPS, as well as voice command, and a mobile web browser. For hands free use there is also Bluetooth.

Some of the multimedia features that come with the LG Accolade Gray include a 1.3-megapixel camera that has several different photography settings. Unfortunately this camera produces dark pictures, even when the lighting is sufficient.

You don’t get any games with this phone, but you do have the option of downloading games to it. The LG VX5600 Accolade is a good choice if all you want is a basic cell phone for calls, but don’t expect anything too advanced with this mobile or you will be a little disappointed.

This phone is a sleek looking slim phone which fits nicely into your pocket. No qwerty keyboard just a normal phone board. It also has a wonderful battery life.

This is a basic phone. Not for the business minded amongst us, but still an excellent phone. Calls come in clear and crisp and the battery levels are unreal. Buy one.
