  • I had this phone since college, and loved it so much (got stolen 2 months ago). PRO'S:Very fine features,stylish, usb port, very nice smart cam and vid, above all else the music sounds astounding, better than sony ericsson's walkman phone. CON'S: You should keep it inside a phone protector cause it gets scratched easily and do not text as much as i did, my phone's keypad chipped away from too much texting. LOL

  • is there any km380 phone housing that can be bought in the market?

  • My experiments show that the KM380 supports AAC+ but not AAC++ . If you play an AAC++ encoded music file, it will play as mono, not stereo. This is because the parametric stereo (PS) feature of AAC++ (also called enhanced AAC+) is not supported. The phone will recognise AAC/AAC+ in a .aac file format. But as far as I can tell, there is no tag support in this format. The title, artist etc. will list as 'unknown.' If your AAC/AAC+ stream is embedded in a .m4a file format, the phone will recognise the AAC stream, but will ignore the m4a tags. Again, all tracks will show as unknown with respect to title, artist, etc. The above are serious limitations of many of your songs are in AAC format. In addition, my KM380T has a software bug. If you have been playing MP3's with the music player, then the alarm does not work (no sound will play). This problem remains until you switch off the phone and turn in back on again. I'm not happy with the fact that there are no updates to system software available from LG. If I've been listening to music, I have to remember to switch the phone on and off at night, otherwise the alarm won't sound.

  • i buy this today morning....it is very very slow when i inserted the 4gb memory card it takes 15 min to play songs in musicplayer...display is very good better than seand nokia....sound is avarage....only problems is the phone is very slow.......dont buy it.......

  • is this phone have video recorder? how long battery last? please help. i'm gonna buy it.

  • Does this phone supports multitasking? How about fast forward/reverse during video playback? Thanks alot!

  • I had the same proble buying a cheap 4gb card. Now I got a faster 8Gb one and all the problems are gone

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE!! intarface is amazing!!!!!!!!!u cant modify evrything !!! THE sound is VERY GOOD!! LOOKS like a luxury phone and expensive one. u can use up to 32GB mmc. 3/5 jack speaker. i can connect it to my pc speakers and i have radio. also to the car radio :) only thing is poor is the Camera. But nobody cares. LG SMASHED IT!! SE is Crap!

  • There are many software you can use to resize the image, I'm using VSO image resizer myself (free). As for flash files, I have no idea. And yes, I only realized this after a few days. The "shuffle" playback mode plays the track in pseudo-random order. For example, it will play track 1,89,57,72,6,94. If you stop playback, and play track 1 at a later time, it will play it in that exact order. As for the maximum memory supported, the 4GB-maximum-memory theory below might be correct. Even if the phone can recognize a 32GB card, I don't think it can actually use that much memory.

  • I have a question my fellow KM 380 users. Any good websites for nice detailed wallpapers or flash wallpapers? Or maybe a program to resize it?

  • I am dying to update this phones firmware. But it will not work with the program. This phone is killing me. I want to like it. But its hard. Bugs I notice: When cleaning out mailbox, the screen will turn black and look like its turned off. I am guessing the phone lags or freezes. Also, when using a 4 GB card, it lagggss like crazy just to access the music to play. So when you do play, it plays the same first songs. I turned off and on and changed the shuffling and it doesn't work. It it so annoying. Also, it lags at times. Anyone know how to stop some resources. It boots at a 77% used memory status. Not to mention there are no accessories that come with the phone's media capabilities. I tried the LG SGEY0005526 headset. And it does not work. Only the call button. ARG. It sucks when you have to pull out your phone just to change to the next track.

  • Incredible phone, all the things you've said are alright but... I bought this 4gb memory card to tune the mobile and it LAAAAAGSSS when you try to use the mp3 player. and I'm only using 1gb of it! It was working totally fine with the 512mb memory card. Dunno... :/

  • Hi Guys, I am using this mobile more than a week and i am giving my review / opinion about this mobile : Merits : 1. Phone looks royal and its price is low when compared to its shape and look, 2. This phone is even better than sony ericsson w350, s302, w302 etc., 3. The sound is great in this phone it is equal to n73 phones sound. 4. picture clarity is too good in 320 X 240 Res. 5. Battery last for 3 days ( Stand by ) and for 1 days ( Continues talk ) 6. Camera clarity is good in 1.3 mp camera it is equal to 2mp camera only size differs. De merits : 1. Video support is not good 2. Java games in big size or 3d games are not supported 3. u can store only 500 msgs. 4. Some times it hangs while hearing songs Over all rating 8.5 / 10 With regards, Kannan

  • 32Gb, not 32GB, 32Gb = 32/8 = 4GB, LG KM380 only support 4GB, if more, the phone wil lag.. it can't play 40hr music, just for 20~30hr if you don't use for anywork..

  • I've been tinkering with it for a day, yet I'm unable to play video smoothly on it (I'm using XMedia Recode). And I don't really think you can fill this with 32GB of memory, I'm using 1GB and it seems lagging already (I'm using cheapie card, so that might be the case). Beside that, It is a very good phone. The built-in speaker and bundled canalphone is really good. I like this phone.

  • KM 380 is very nice phone, batter than girlish look sony w350(does't have video cam). 380 has 1.3 mp camra with good calour resulation and screen clearity, it's user interface is very good.

  • How do I disable autolock of fone when the flip is closed? The manual says its in configuration -> security menu, but I'm not able to find it.

  • How to take off camera sounds? Help, very fast with that, please people help.

  • Seems nice, will probably buy it soon. Is it good for playing video? I want it mostly for music videos and full-length movies on the go... good fps? no lag? how good for wmv format? Thanks!

  • I find this phone very nice. Much better than the sony ericsson w350 in the sense of a better vibrant screen, sound quality, camera, and can play video. Not to mention that this phone looks more mature than the girlish looking w350. This is the only place where I can reach out for fellow 380t users :D Does anyone know the setting for Gmail on Tmobile USA here in New York? This phone is hard to find help since no one mentions it anywhere else.

  • Its a good design, but d bottom flip works best on d sony ericsson w350 (which i have :-))

  • how to take off camera sounds? It makes some voices when picture is maked. Help please-

  • Flip phones died back in the nineties. Cheap copy of sonyericcson...

  • Does this phone support multitasking? Tnx.

  • his kinda ugly.. but he is better than mine.. XD i think he is between a bar phone and a flip.. thats why i think hes strange !! ...

  • looks like SE w350

  • very sleek and nice phone. no regrets:)

  • I think the design are similar(maybe copy) from Sony Ericsson W350. But, LG has more solid build quality and the most important is : the sound quality more loud on speakerphone also better quality(more natural and surrounding) in headset than W350. What a surprise ! LG music phone must be truely Walkman series competitor in the next future.

  • This phone is better than SE w350i, can receive the call needn't open lid, SE have to. The screen is nice, 240x320pixel 2" while SE has only 176x220 pixel and 1.8" The both are same music quality.

  • some1 just said it supports 1gb max, well.....im using 8gb on it right now, and sold my i pod 3rd gen. for the fon. yes, it dosnt have the thumb control but as an audio studio owner ,i can say it provides very good quality sound, even better then walkman, unless u r fond of nothin but bass(low based) type music.It does have a very good quality low freq.camera has been tasted, and its better then a N73 beside the size of the pic ,if u know what i mean.

  • wow..can support up to 32gb..err who know bar phone which can support up to 32gb..

  • its realy very nice phone......

  • Just got the phone. Lovely phone, decent features. Love the interface, especially all the features you can use even with the flap shut, someone posted that the design is copied from the 1980s......... well i had a Triuum mobile in the early part of this century with a similar flap... and this design has resurfaced of late even the Sony Ericsson W350 has the same flap.... Overall an excellent attempt from LG!! Cant comment on the battery life as yet, too new, but definitely better than the Motorola V3i.

  • its very good specificarion and mega pixcel is short fole why not 2mp camera.but any fetuares is good.how much and lunching kab hai.

  • Well here is the problem with this phone, LG is trying to get in the market with Music devices and to do so they are frying their brain to think for a good design, now this phone looks a lot like one of samsungs first attempt for a music phone and has the front flap that looks like it came off a 1980 betamax remote control (you know the one that looks like a different button is pressed but when you open it its rubber pushung the button underneath)on top of all this the music features and connectivity seems like they was put to one side and then copied them off one of their already made phones. i now ask you WHY?

  • its so cute ,very dynamic and so lovely

  • A very good Music phone support up to 32 GB and 40 hours music play in flight mode, i sugest every one to go for this,,really very good music quality in earphone.

  • This phone able to support up 32G

  • I have this phone and it' s very good, and beautiful too!
