The good: The LG Motion 4G from MetroPCS is a prepaid, reasonably priced handset with Android 4.0 and a zippy dual-core CPU.
The bad: The Motion 4G comes packed with a lot of bloatware, and its sound quality is mediocre.

I wanted to let people know who are interested in purchasing this phone that you do not qualify for the $50.00 rebate unless you purchase two phones.
Updated on Sep 5, 2012If you have a memory card in your present phone, you can just transfer the card from old phone to your new phone. Plug your new LG phone into your computer via usb and you can view all your songs, ringtones and even transfer stuff from one folder to another.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I've owned everything, even iPhones - this is by far my favorite of all time. My old esteem was sucking battery, and in a moment of frustration, I ran into the store to buy "anything" that would get me through the business day without recharging, AND to hold me over until Metro released the Samsung Galaxy III S. I like this one so much, I'm putting the Galaxy on indefinite hold...

Summary: This is junk. No customer service. No good after software update. Uses up charge within 2 hours when not even using the phone. Goes from fully charged to 66 percent. After charging, drops even more.
I purchased two of this phone. Both of them are malfunctioning after the software update. Customer service is absolutely no help. Save your money.

Great Phone - Great Deal - Love This Phone!
by tampabaybrad on February 2, 2013
Pros: This phone's processor is 50% faster than my previous LG MetroPCS Smartphone, plus it has a Dual-Core!
It has 5 times the internal memory of my previous phone.
I really enjoy using the Ice Cream Android Platform on a 4G system!Cons: The only Con I have found is that some of my previous Favorite Apps will not work within the Android 4.0.4 Operating System, but that is not the LG Motion's fault! ...and I can get VERY used to it!!
Summary: The "quirks" in the previous LG phone have been remedied.
All in all, this is an Awesome phone at a Fantastic price!

All in all, this is an Awesome phone at a Fantastic price!
I paid $99.00 for the phone and am in the process of getting the $50.00 Rebate, so my final price will be $49.00!
I really have not found anything disappointing about this phone!
In my book, it's all plus, Plus, PLUS!!!!
Thanks for Listening.
