I just called to order mine and the guy told me they still didn't receive it. He stated they were supposed to receive them today, but they haven't yet.

If someone else has any luck, please post it so I can try again!!

I just got off the phone with sprint and was able to order the LG-325. Thank God. She didn’t have any accessories to go with the phone as yet. I really didn’t even care. All I wanted was the damn phone. Now I can throw this bullsh*t T-608 off a high rise building or in the ocean. (what ever I can get to first). The phone cost $229.99.. Good luck and hurry…….. the first shipment is going very fast

When I've talked to the Radio Shack guys, they said they had plenty of accessories for this phone so you might want to try there...

why bash the t608. other than battery life, it is supposed to be a very good phone with great reception...in fact i would go as far as to say, sony/ericsson puts out higher quality product than LG

Thanks for posting. Does that price require extending your service, or what?

I called again and was able to order the phone... Apparently the first guy didn't know what he was talking about.


To answer jjsC5, and everyone else correct me if I am wrong, but the phone cost $229 outright without and contract extension. I was told that my old phone qualified for the trade-in program and if I extend my contract for another 2 years and trade-in my phone, I will get $150 back.

You may want to call Sprint again. If you asked for a mail-in rebate form, you should call Sprint. The form, which can be picked up at any Sprint location, is on back-order, meaning your phone won't be shipped out until this little piece of paper is available. You have to call and cancel the rebate form, or ask the shipment to be seperated.

I am so pissed, I called in last night asking about this and the guy didn't even check my account. Now my phone won't be here until Monday or Tuesday.

Like you Aspector... I just called to get my tracking number and apparently they went on backorder, so I can't expect to get mine until next week now!

I dont want to repost but it looks like you can cancel your order with telesales and order from the SprintPCS website. I was told by a telesales representive that they do not share inventory with the website.

RepellP are you sure the phone is on back order and not the Rebate Form? That was the problem with mine. BTW I will have mine tomorrow.

I called 3 different times and talked to 3 different people. They all said the phone is on back order.
I metioned the rebate form and she said they would send it in the mail.

rs808... I did see that post but at this point I am skeptical to cancel and reorder... Did you try the web yet?

Aspector... I also called earlier last week when you posted something about the rebate form and the guy I spoke to rudely told me that they would ship the rebate form 8 weeks after the phone ships.

Thanks all for the help

You may want to try the website. I have read that the website and telesales don't use the same warehouse. Meaning eventhough telesales is on backorder, the website may have them in stock.

The website apparently did not fare any better. I ordered the PM-325 Saturday night through sprintpcs.com , this is the e-mail I got from Sprint today:

Dear jOHN,


Thank you for choosing Sprint PCS.


I am processing your recent Sprint PCS order. Unfortunately, PM 325 BY
LG ordered by you is backordered. We receive shipments from our
supplier's daily, so it is possible that your item ship within the next
few days. Unfortunately, I am unable to promise a delivery date.

You have two options:

1.. Wait, if the item arrives in the next 30 days, we will ship it. If
not, then we will automatically cancel your order and process a refund
if you were charged.

2. Email me, I can help you find an alternative or cancel this item.

At your convenience, or call us at 1-888-253-1315 between 9:00 am and
8:00 pm central time.


Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience that this may have
caused. I appreciate your patience.


Thank you.

Nothing is for sure until the phone is in hand but according to the order confirmation email I will receive the phone in 4 days. I'll keep everyone posted if the status changes.

EDIT: After reading above post, I guess I will let you know when I get the backordered email.

Congrats radkins... And now I can share in that glory... Even though the rep told me that my phone was backordered, it showed up today. And as everyone reported, it pairs up great just no battery or signal strength displayed!

I got mine this morning as well and went to the Sprint store to have my phone book transfered. The guys were ooh and ahhing over the phone they don't sell. And guess what since they don't sell it, they don't have the semsync (I think thats the name) software to transfer phonelists into it.

So during an extremely boring class this afternoon I manually transfer about 60 numbers. And I must say I am pretty quick at typing now.

I have run into a couple inconviences. When searching the phone book you can type in multiple letters but it only searches the first letters in the first name. Meaning if I search BR i will get Brent Smith, but not Smith Brent. I list all contacts first name last name, and have multiple Chris's and John's so I can't search by their last names. The other inconvience is car charging, I need to work with it some more, may be a loose connection. But it seemed that the phone won't charge while in use.

BTW HFL is awesome, I don't care if I don't see battery or signal strength, I am talking without moving my hands off the wheel.

I found out my local Radio Shack received a shipment of LG-325 yesterday, so I called Sprint trying to cancel the order. It turned out it was too late to cancel as they are shipping me the phone today and I should get it Monday. They would also throw in 2 months of free internet service with both my phnoe and my wife's phone.

Yes, caller ID works on the HFL with the LG325. I have one and it works perfectly.
