LG KP235 - User Reviews

  • The flex cable probably ripped; You should repair it or give it to me, I repair old phones like these...

  • I've looked through the menu and the user guide and can find no way to display the phones own number.

  • I just had this unit for more or less 2 months and now using it. I am just concern how can I open my MMS feature.

  • my phone has a problem with screen. cannot read anything. the screen is white. what can i do. love my phone

  • Hi i have owned a KP235 for two years, and find it adiqate,it is a low price phone with a reasonable camera, surely you look at the spec before you buy it. the pictures that i take are quite reasonable, not as good as my canon eos 400. i paid £20 for my camera phone, over £400 for my canon. if it is faulty take it back or to a phone repair centre, i have no problem with texting. perhaps you expect to much from a low priced camera phone

  • ok i owned two of these and they stunk. first one was in my pocket and after a quick application of pressure not enough to break anything. not even a crack the screen went haywire. i mean sometimes it worked sometimes not...so i bought a another one. becuase i just wanted, to have familarity with the phone becuase i at the time didn't have time to learn new features... and i found out that just shaking it in my hand would turn it off. or just putting it in my pocket would turn it off or just looking at it it would turn off... bad. very bad.

  • My phone works OK as a mobile phone. One can load up text files into the "Others" folder but... you can't open them to read!

  • i think it is worth,but the battery is weak, warning time is more less

  • Yes this phone is cheap to buy. The camera is basic and obviously not as good as more expensive phones. I bought the phone because I wanted to make calls and texts. I don't care about the camera as I own a high specification digital camera. The phone has always worked well for me and I am happy with it. If you want high spec photography, mp3, internet access and all the various bolt ons then you need to buy a more expensive phone at about �150 upwards. The LG KP235 is cheap and as a result is limited in what it will do, but it does it well. Be sure of what you need in the first place and then buy accordingly.

  • I think it's insanely good, considering I've got one. My only problem with it is, I can't remember how to change the text tone, but other than that, it's freaking amazing!

  • i think this is the low quality of lg phones ever made made and also thinks that very low people will engage on it.

  • I thing this is the worst product ever to come out of LG mobile division. SMS-ing is near impossible, poor quality of the microphone makes conversation to other people tedious and very often the phone get locked. A truly piece of crap.

  • I think this is the worst product to come out from LG mobile division. SMS-ing almost impossible and low quality of the microphone make talking to others a tedious task. Too often the bloody thing stops working.

  • jesus people what do u expect?!!! this phone in shops in croatia costs 15euros!!! it s made for simple actions -sms and calls.camera is vga,like an addition...phone is just fine!!!

  • its so bad mine dont av alot of memory it only has 5020kb

  • lock

  • argos mis advetising!! tut tut. its suposed to be a basic phone thats all. you get what you pay for. stop moaning about how crap its camra is ect!!!!

  • I got this phone in Croatia. Design not bad (voted 7), specs OK but camera is a crap. After few days of use it started to freeze whatever operation I was performing. I returned it to shop for firmware update (I hoped) but when I got it back it worked flawlesly few days then again (less frequently) started to block. I'm thinking of returning it back to change for some Nokia. To be avoided.

  • i got my phone frome argos and wen i reseive photo messages it says messing dusages wait

  • not one of lgs best. txting is near to impossible.

  • This phone is brilliant. Loved absolutley evrything about it. People who say their texts wont work, its cos u bought it from argos. WHY U FINK DA PRISE GON DOWN IN ARGOS? DAY ALL FAULTI!!!!!!

  • iv'e done the same thing. Bought this phone from argos and there is no video although this is listed on argos. Taking it back.

  • Had this phone for 4 weeks and very happy with all aspects of it, sound is great abd easy to use and no problems with texting. however, I didn't but this phone to take photos as I didn't buy a digital camera to make phone calls.

  • I have to say I bought this phone 6 days ago and i'm taking it back. It is hideous to use. I have texts that I can't access for some reason. It was working until yesturday when it just keeps popping up with 'please wait' when i try to access them. The sound is bad, the picture is bad, the keypad is bad. And to top it off, when i bought it i was told that i cannot return within 14 days if i don't like it, well it doesn't work so they are having it back, i can't be running to the shop everytime this happens. plus it's Friday so everybody who is texting me with plans for tonight thinks i'm ignoring them! So do not buy this phone, there are no redeeming qualities about it whatsoever!!!!!

  • If you check the Argos site there are now customer reviews of various phones including this one and anyone should remember Caviat Emptor (May the buyer beware). This phone has plenty of problems (certainly in the uk firmware) one of the problems is in the texting system not working (the person who had the phone had received the updates from Orange and read and deleted them turned the phone off as advised by the store and the phone would still not allow you to create a text message or go into the inbox of the message system) also when you try to master reset the phone with 0000 ie the default code for lg and the one named in the manual the phone freezes and then when you turn it off then on the phone asks for a security code which you dont have so you then have to head to an orange shop for them to sort out this codge up in design of this phone). Also the picture of the camera is the worst example of vga on a camera phone in fact the old LG7100 had a better camera in 2003 and even the old Siemens MC60 performed better and that ancient). My friends cat photos were like mud. Please avoid the phone like the plague there are better phones for your money that do mp3 ringtones. Some have 1.3 or 2 megapixel for the price being asked for this monstrosity. Lady B Birmingham xx

  • Got this phone from Argos- listed in catalogue as having Video Capture- does anyone know anything about this. Thanks Grant

  • Am I doing something wrong - i can't hear this phone when it rings nor can I hear anyone talking when they ring me - i have the phone on the highest volume setting (and my hearing is perfect!!): does anyone else have this problem. Any suggestions? Please help Thanks

  • this phone only supports amr and mid. with software you can convert mp3 to amr. however, the bitrate and the samplerate is limited for amr for this phone. So, the quality will be moderate.

  • I realise this phone is low on memory but does anyone know for a fact if the phone is mp3 compatible and can it have mp3 ringtone and mp3 message tone of your own choice? Orange uk have not a clue and to contact lg mobile requires that you own an LG Mobile in the first place. Ta for any help.

  • + It feels good in the hand,keyboard is excellent,big keypads,thin and stylish design,prize is low - no card slot,vga camera

  • 3.5 mp camera? you must be kidding me. The camera sucks

  • According to Virgin Mobile here in France, it's a VGA camera. Looks nice though.

  • according to the orange catalogue its a 3.5mp cam

  • this phone looks o.k! But I am saving for the voyager :)

  • LOL this is really funny, autofocus on a crappy VGA camera xD!!!!

  • Why LG make this phone dual band it will have much selling problem. should be triband. LG prce for phones are higher
