Yes it is also touchscreen and yes I do need the wi- fi to connect to the internet but im currently still stuck on trying to make up a profile and my network is not compatable with the mobile because of the many restrictions. I also see that the phone has something to do with sprint but was clearlystated it was unlocked and has AT&T breanded at the back where the mirror reflection slide is. As I saw the mobile it looked cool and it seemed just to be ready like startup and easy set up but I never knew it would have been this dificult to use and to set up. Another down fall is the shipping company I use will not reship the mobile phone back to amazon. So im highly upset to know im stuck with the mobile phone until I do go back abroad to school this semseter to the US. Im really reconsidering on purchasing mobile phones from Amazon. Please if possible give me a better solution. Ohh my shipping company web page is: https://xpressitinc.com/Home/Index

Yes, it's a touchscreen phone. You'll need mobile internet to activate the phone without hacking the phone. Once activated, internet is not required to use the device.

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

No i'ts a t-mobile phone, it swings up and it's not a touch screen. It's a really crappy phone, don't buy it.

It is not touchscreen, unless they've changed the model in the few months that I've had mine. Still a good buy, if you can live with Windows 8.

This phone does have internet. It isn't very fast,but it could be the area we live in.

Do you mean cell and data or just data service? It can be used without using Mobile data but as far as I know it can't be activated without a data plan it can be used to an extent as a touch screen device if it has no data or cell plan but only if you connect it to a WiFi network. That said I would say no it can't be used without an Internet/data service

It does have internet you can even browse while talking on the phone. I have been impressed by this phone even though its been out for two years. There are some good reviews on YouTube that you might also like to check out.

This is not a touch phone, you have to use the keyboard for apps. I just use it for text, video/cam part, text rarely, lol, and a reg. phone, so I use a page plus cellular phone plan for it.

You can surf Internet, but it's not a 3G phone.I think it's Japanese phone.I don't believe you can download those apps. Actually, I never tried to I wouldn't know.

Technically you can browse the Net... but the few times I tried it always came back as not enough memory... there is no way to add memory to this phone... So I am saying that it is not a good candidate to Browse with.... Hope this helps.

The LG 800G is not a phone for accessing the internet. It is basically a very lousy phone with a touchscreen, made to imitate a smart phone, but is NOT a smart phone. No apps were available when I had mine, I was blocked by tracfone from going the the LG app site. I got rid of it last month, not because it was broken, but because it was so frustratingly awful that I switched to a cheaper clamshell tracfone, the LG430G (which, ironically, is better on the internet than the 800.) The 800 never did hook up to my yahoo mail, and was so slow that it kept timing out if i tried to go to a website. The thing also likes to go to sleep, and sometimes shuts itself off without me knowing, so i missed calls. Don't waste your money.

It's actually not a touch screen except for the number pad when making a call and the two white lines on the black part at the bottom of the screen. You use the thumb pad to navigate the menus.

No this is not a smart phone. You can access the internet if you want but you do not have to sign up for a data plan with this phone. I think this is a great phone for those like myself who cannot afford the smart phone plans. I have had two of these now, and have recommended it to my husband.

No, It is not a touch screen. It is however easy to find your way around the menus with the arrows and buttons.

No it doesn't have a touch screen. It does have Windows 8 though. I have had mine for 3 years now, I use it 18 hours a day, and it is still going strong. It is a great buy if you can live without the touch screen.

No wifi. you need to have Internet on your cell phone plan, and if you use internet on this phone it's not Internet friendly the keys & screen will literally drive you nuts!
