  • guys hoe much u rate dis???

  • is there someone, who uses organizer in this phone. Is it possible to synchronize it with MS Outlook? Does it work correctly?

  • we can't compare between this phone to laptop,camdig 12 mpix,i-pod,or the other gadget that focus on one thing.... small and cheap phone for calling,sms,and little screen to make a video call.... uhhhh that the ultimate function that we need... if i need camdig ill buy professional camdig if i need big screen i'll buy laptop ,or etc if i need a audio system i'll buy i-pod... if you want to combined all of it realize that you need more money.... even if you buy nokia N8 you will need more battery to do all function at the same time...it doesnt effective and efficien

  • The display with 170x220 pixels is hip, the new wave :)) why do you need more that your eyes can distinguish. Nokia 3G models this price have no multitasking and they have become dull, same thing over and over.

  • I am sure that nobody reads the manual. How can you even say such a thing, that this beautiful phone doesen't have a clock to display on homscreen. I have no words to describe that kind of users. This phone has high speed internet, multitasking, screen widgets.

  • It is a very danda fone because its screen very dull. Screen resolution is very low . Dont buy this phone lg is not a good brand you can buy only nokia

  • There is an option to make the clock visible. Goto menu->Settings->Screen->Homescreen->­­Display Item->Small clock/Big clock/Analog clock/Dual clock.. select which you want

  • Hi.I bought this phone 3 days back and its just amazing. There is an option to make the clock visible. Goto menu->Settings->Screen->Homescreen->­Display Item->Small clock/Big clock/Analog clock/Dual clock.. select which you want.Its a sleek phone with almost all features including 3G with video calling. But only disadvantage is that its camera and themes. though its a 1.3 megapixel, its like vga. And themes... we have only 2 inbuilt themes and not available online also.

  • No time display feature on the phone all who left wearing watches rekindle the habit Lg gu 285 is here!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what makes ku285 unique is that it is the only handset in the market today which DOES NOT have a IMEDISPLAon its screen. May be L should start giving away Wrist watches to its buyers as a promotion scheme. WEIRD isnt it?

  • How is the battery backup(Talk time).Because 3 yaers back i had a bad experience with LG.at taht time I was carrying the charger also along with mobile.

  • Rs.5300 INR with 2gb mmc. In india.

  • This fone r very stylish and good looking n light wait please purchase the fone n have a fun

  • I was sad to see that many are telling bad abt LG. This is not the right way to comment. If we want more options, then lets look for a gadget with those rather than complaning abt things that this phone doesnt have. With the feature that it has now, its definately a good phone. I have used nokia, samsung, sony and now a LG. Its a different phone. To me all brands are good in some or the other way and they all have different styles and stratergies. Every phone cannot be alike. The naming stlye, UI, marketing, packaging, accessories... all are different for each brand. This is a stylish slide, silver n black. this is a user friendly phone, large screen, blue n black interface, hi speed internet, quick BT transfer, one touch keys to access all menus. I never expect mobile cams to be like that of a nikon or canon or to be like that of a sony surrond system. When its going to perform like a nikon or a sony surround the battery will run away and finally when u really wanna make a call, the phone will not serve the true purpose for which you bought this for. so lets expect phones to be phones and not digi cams and dobly systems. let them be modes of communication through voice and text.

  • this model is quite gud in that segement 3G. due 2 price as well as its feature. bt one thing i feel is that the camara quility. 1.3mp is ok bt if camara is 2mp that will be edge of this model..

  • this phone is avilbale in egypt

  • This is better then nokia's worst 2730 3G. in 5000 rs i got a nice looking phone with 3G & video calling & 8 gb expendable momory. Keep it up LG.

  • What?

  • LG Never can be compared with samsung cause the same and ugly type of same and same user interface with ugly black and white themes first then body and screen pixels,screen size, constructions and handset packaging accessaries and unboxing thats why lg never ahead of samsung and its a challenge

  • thanks ,,, i'll not waste my money in buying this phone cause the same boring user interface.....

  • yes, it have the LG operating system

  • Yes, this model has almost the very same UI like all other LG phones.

  • somebody can say me that how is the interface ????????? is it same as ever from lg or something different ans me please....

  • nokia-samsung hybridd design, i like it.

  • quite nokia, isn�t it?

  • quite nokia, isn�t it??

  • Be real Dude its ovius you know nothing about phones if you think this phone sucks

  • People this phone looks fantastic lets face it LG is trying they utmost best to make up for the bad phones that they took out in the past and guess what its a great improvement

  • Perfect design~

  • this is definitely nice phone.. simple specs.. not so expensive.. available in black and pink (me and mygf fav couple color)... NICE JOB!!! i had enough with all stuff that i dont need such as wifi, 8mp cam, secondary cam, etc... This will be a perfect phone that i looking for it... ONCE AGAIN, NICE JOB LG!!!

  • Great~!!!! This one is very nice for those who just want to use "talk and listen" function. No need to pay for functions I barely use. Nice JOB LG~!!

  • I like the color. Fantastic.

  • Copy-Paste Nokia Sorry for mein Inglisch

  • Design Good ...

  • How can you say "cute phone"????!!!!

  • Wtf is this LG??!! How can you put desing like that?! In one sentence the phone is ugly! And ome more thing: LG nobody puts any more CIF,VGA and 1.3 megapixel camera!!!

  • A cute phone actually, but phones without smart OSes are just not for the future. LG should develop smart phones that are cost effective. 500 entries phonebook, not enough call log. Seems to be going nowhere... stuck in a time warp.

  • Hmmm... specs seem similar to my GM200 but with no 3.5mm jack, dolby mobile, only 500 contact entries, only 1.3mp camera instead of 2. Guessing it will be available under 5000Rs. If that is the case, it is a great buy as 3g phones are yet to become popular in this segment. LG can sweep up the initial surge in the market shares.

  • omgomgomg i want one noooooooooooooow!

  • Hmmm.. this one looks a bit like the nokia 6111 to me, but nice though.

  • lg is good brand but my most of friends are laughing when i talk about lg beacuse it is not a mobile brand .lg have a brand of grossary like they have mobile name like cooke ,ice cream,choclate,and now popcorn.what the hell is this lg ...

  • cute phone..

  • love the colour its hot

  • another cheap 3g from LG hahahahahha If they make it better,such as adding 3.5mm port and better camera and losing they funny pink color and replace it with better color i think it will be a big hit in growing country,especially in indonesia

  • looks nice for lady

  • E65 and E66 wanna be...nice try LG. Y0u made an ugly representati0n of pink.
