LG KS500 - User Reviews

  • Omq .. 4 peepz hu dont liike diis fOne ? and fiink its stupid iim sawwii buht yhur wronqq . ! I LOVE DIS Fone !! :D iihts qreat. its realli easi to use . And has a quud camera . i havent had ani problems wid it so far.. ive had it for 1 year and 5 mOnths ... I recomend iiht :) _xoO

  • Looks like it has the same specifications like SE W760i. I'd better buy Sony ericsson :))

  • I loved this phone! Had it for 2 years... and when in hospital as a patient recently, some low-life uplifted it. I'm off to get another LG.

  • its an ugly but capaple phone,it has great features and its easy to use. keep up the good work, upgrade the design though..

  • All up, its a great phone packed with features that are easy to use. The screen has great resolution and is very clear. I love the GPS function that works with GoogleMaps. Amazing value for money. Very impressed. Highly recommend.

  • this mobile phone is not the best of all!!!!!i think that the best is not existed!!!!am i stubit??

  • the battery is absolute rubbish, I don't make that many calls but I'm lucky if it lasts 3 days. The OS is pretty pooh, it comes with about 7 game demos that can not be deleted, when I connect to bluetooth I have to slide up the pad to accept connection, thats a pain in the arse. Not recommended at all! I'm surprised so many people are happy to settle for this phone, or anything LG for that matter. I've not had an LG product that performed as it should yet.

  • do u hav to pay when u use the gps on this fone or can u browse the map for free via satelight.

  • I think about it want be tomorrow buy

  • that phone, it's now in here, Spain

  • The joystick middle button selector thing sucks when the handset is slid up... When you try to move the joystick down, it slides the phone down too! You need to be careful when selecting down which is a pain and pointless when there are heaps of other phones in this range without this problem...

  • 3 inch

  • very bad.

  • it looks crap, the Incite & the cookie looks better!!

  • dfafadf

  • gps?

  • how big is da screen

  • its come with GPS? really''

  • Yeah screen is way to small. Keypad feels nice to txt on though!!!

  • After looking at many other options in this mid-price range, so far so good. I really wanted the Nokia E66 or E71 but for once I decided to go for a phone that only has what I actually use (and to fit in with my cutback budget - scary times). For me I want a phone that will sync my contacts and calendar, check emails and make clear calls. So far this phone does this well. The camera seems reasonable but for me I rely on my actual camera to take good photos. A camera on a phone is really only needed for those fun impromptu moments, not for award winning shots. I use my laptop for actually doing work but I'm looking forward to making avail of the GPS and the MP3 so will report back.I don;t mind the looks - but it would've been nice to have had it available in a few more cool colours. The slide works well and the thumbpad a little sticky (mind ease up with more use).

  • lg mobiles are the best!

  • keep up the good work lg, soon youll be one of the top groosser in telecom industry, god bless

  • i like ur design, it looks good and nice, the glossiness of the phone is highly recommended, its barely recommendable for young ages, not just a phone but has a typical specs that people needs, keep upo the food work LG.

  • What an ugly looking capable phone....It�s a shame if the screen was larger, and all those keys on the upper part..... destroys all capabilities of GPS....

  • What he ment was the camera being like the Samsung U900 Soul. But the camera this way is better cause you can choose not to slide the phone to take a picture.

  • ummm the camera is on the back? maybe look at the pictures first before you start your carreer as a crtiic....

  • Well, new phone from LG.... seems nice... but no so nice design... let see how many points i will put to this phone... Design: 5.5 (First... is a very conservative slider design, second... the camera must be inside the slide so in that way it has a protection, because like this it's very exposed to dirt and fingerprints, so very bad idea from LG, good keypad and d-pad) Features: 8 (Very nice features, it has 3g, good internal memory and expandable to 8gb that is good enough, connectivity is fully covered, and ith as gps... but it lacks something very important that is wifi, the other thing that can be improve is the camera, it's is enough 3mp but it lacks autofocus that is very important and a flash.. at least a tiny flash... so a 8 is ok) Performance: 6 (Passable battery life that can be improved, more with a gps in the phone... but just passable..) LG can do it a lot better, but we must wait to see the optical track pad that seems interesting..:) see ya!

  • why lg why bother

  • I'm still thinking that both nokia and SE area the best of the best ...talking about the best brand.....

  • vodafone exclusive.... no af no flash.... tri band... smallish screen...

  • Bravo LG
