I previously owned an LG flip phone model and wanted something with easier texting capabilities.  I don't text a huge amount, but just having the qwerty keyboard makes life so much easier!  Love it!

The only caveat I would tell potential buyers is regarding the SIM card.  I have never purchased a phone through anyone but directly from the AT&T store...which also requires a 2-year contract etc.  I wanted a new phone but didn't want the hassle of a new contract or the additional mandatory $30/month data fee associated with this particular phone (for web browsing, etc.)  If you already subscribe to that then it won't be a big deal, but for me it was.  Also, when you buy this phone at full price, to avoid the contract, etc. it does NOT come with a SIM card!  Luckily since I was an AT&T customer with a prior LG phone, my SIM card swapped out with no issues and activated itself immediately...didn't even have to go into the AT&T store to get it started.  But if you need a phone with a SIM card in it, you won't get it here when you buy only the phone.  Just FYI.

Other than that I am loving this phone.  It's takes some getting used to, finding everything and learning how to use it.  Keep the manual handy for the first few days.  I also recommend fully draining the battery when you first get it before recharging again.  It's not the greatest battery for longevity, but I can live with it.  The color is great, the slide function is easy, the touch screen is very responsive and it recharges very quickly.

It's no blackberry or palm, but for someone just looking for a stylish step-up from the "last generation" phones, I think it's a good choice.
