  • I would like to get this phone. Can someone tell me if is the reliable site to buy one?

  • regarding auto-shutdowns, poor battery life, occasional hanging, and other performance issues this could be a result of a virus. Symbians are likely to be affected by it, you can download free antivirus for the phone free, try downloading netqin or avira for your phone and see if there's anything on it before you try and buy a new battery.

  • Try to delete it using your computer

  • my phone found a untrusted program.but i cant cant delete the theme i need help

  • it doesnt impress me with the keypads, it looks like a scientific calcular lol!

  • *document viewer is wrong. I mean, document viewer and EDITOR so it serves as a mini laptop as well. kthnxbye

  • Dear LG, I think this phone's design is amazing (except for the fact that it kinda opens a bit on the side when it is closed) I would like to suggest on upgrading the camera to maybe 5megapixel, including document viewer and of course, who doesn't need/want wi-fi nowadays? it's a must for future phones! if you can do all of these in a future model, while retaining the size of this one, it would be so great of you, LG. so great that LG users would spread the word like the mac users do. BTW, just make sure that the camera is not to be blinded by the hands of the user. I mean, place it somewhere nicely and comfortably. kthnxbye. :)

  • want to buy one. what is the openion of you guy's. pls help me make a decision.

  • batre is good, long life the sound is amazing

  • Battery life is shock. In my case, just in standby mode, it lasts less than 24 hours.

  • im using this phone now. i dont see any problem with my phone. it's really great and looks so professional. :)

  • I'm using this phone now and i can confirm that it takes a 16GB micro SD with no problems. I also haven't run into any of the battery problems people seem to have been having. It doesn't like large mp4 file but if you change the resolution to a lower setting it plays fine. It's a great phone and I have used heaps!

  • Hi just wanted to know about the battery back up of KT610. Also can we edit word and excel files on it or can we only view the same.

  • Hey, thanks for the tip.....

  • In terms of performance, nothing. Li-poly is just a special "type" of li-ion that allows manufactures to make non-rectangular battery shapes.

  • Unfortunately, no wi-fi.

  • There is no wifi at all in this phone

  • its clearly written no WLAN!!

  • LG KT610 dosn't have any wifi, and can not support Blackberry...

  • Pls tell me the differences between Li-ion Battery and Li-po Battery, and which one is better?

  • does the lg kt610 support blackberry bolt on

  • may i ask? is this phone (LG KT610) wifi ready??? PLEASE, I NEED TO know, cause i intent to buy one. thanks

  • if this phone enables wifi, i would grab it on the spot.and, LG is famous for it's lagging/slow. but, i felt in love with the design and qwerty! too bad.

  • im also a user of the same phone , im happy , for battery back up keep in on power saving mode and see the diff, brousing is good , sound is excellent , if you are facing so many problems you can go to the service centre , they will look into it . the service centre address will be on lgindia.com

  • learn to speak english..

  • dis ph is not at all realiabl 2 use .. plz don buy dis ph coz itz nt at al worthy .. battery back up is horrible .. bt camera resolution is ok .. bt d sound is juz not gud .. ill say plz don buy dis ph ..

  • Does anyone know where I can download manual and firmware?

  • WTF this phone is not even on LG's website. Can't find manual or any support aint nothin'.

  • Hey kt610 user, i'm indonesian too, i wanna buy dis fone,now i use samsung g810 n i'm very2 satisfied with my samsung,n yeah my g810 also use s60! Is dis fone reliable? I wanna buy dis as my spare phone..

  • Hi Iam frm Jakarta, Indonsia. No Wifi no problem since only a few place it. But browsing almost impossible without Opera Mini here. Unless you use it as modem. Battery life is terrible, so I have the second battery. Otherwise it is Ok since I got it as a scond hand. But can anyone inform me which Opera Mini suits to the LG ?

  • see friends all mobiles r good its depend on user if one person getting problems every pereson never gets all are good

  • Its a very beautiful and simply bussines phone. Im in indonesia.

  • I bought this phone and is satisfied for my usage. No WiFi is no problem for me. Battery life is short but for me I usually charge my phone every night so no problem again. I like the phone design because the main purpose of a mobile phone is a phone. The other 'smartphone' functions are sumpplementary. This phone serves this 'core' requirement, i.e. reliable (no hang); loud speaker and ring; solid body; right size to hold it to talk. The improvements I suggest LG to do are bigger screens (both inside and outside), especially the inside one.

  • Dont buy this, I am in Indonesia just bought this but was totally hang and currently under repair in LG Bandung Centre.

  • LG is it a bussiness cell.....???? so bad...... its front display............. ohh my GOD... LG should make better their developments

  • its way 2 ugly 2 been seen with it would crap ur stile

  • Tried installed Mail for exchange, but doesnt work. Anyone have same problem ? Let's share.

  • What do all of you expect it to do??! A phone with all those high-tech internet stuff costs at least 200 Euro more!!

  • no wifi? and it's ugly too. *sigh* moving on.

  • Did called this Business phone no WiFi - useless....LG try again next time might be your company can beat other phone manufacturer...

  • I am having a major problem getting gps software loaded and when i run gps position, it says no gps. is there a way to turn the gps on and off? if so could someone please advise me. email: [email protected]

  • Great phone BUT it says Vista/XP but Pc suite cd dont install..says installation failed??? Also cannot get settings for GPS, MMS or GPRS...PLEEEESE HELP send to 27824166613

  • It's got gprs, edge, 3g and hsdpa. They all grant access to the internet and are easily set up, so you shouldn't have any problems. The coverage usually extends beyond the city limits, so there is little problem there either.

  • Okay, I know this is a silly question. No Wi - fi. Alright. My good friend has the KT610, and I was wondering if you just access the internet through the network? I don't want to be buying a phone specifically for the internet when I can't access it wherever I go (within city limits of course). Can I still access the internet with this phone even if I don't have a wi-fi connection?

  • useless phone ever seen ...

  • y-browser works. I'll check the sms exporter for you tonight.

  • what about the issue of durability?

  • No WiFi = useless (in this category & price range)

  • In my line of work, I need to save all my text messages. I am currently using the SMS Export application that is free from the S60.com website. Does anyone know if it is compatible with the LG KT610? Can anyone test it out for me? My other question is, is Y-Browser also compatible with this phone? Thank you.

  • Does LG KT610 have a noise reduction like Crystalk of Motorola? Any LG phone have this system?

  • Wireless internet is necesary. What Hapen LG?

  • Business phone and no WIFI???? doesnt make sence

  • The minor is the Wi-fi, a communicator without it is useless. Thanks

  • no wifi??ampun daaaaa..... =((

  • How long is the actual battery life of the current commercially released model and is there a better battery that can be used to extend the battery life? Also does mxit work on the external display?

  • but the pic on the first page of the review is the same as mine, odd...

  • my KT610 is different from what the 'pictures' on the left shows... my 2 W Q E and S buttons are not colored white, and many other details are different...

  • yea.. i'll buy one if they have other colors..

  • i really like this phone.. except its bottomside.. and also it has no wi-fi, the screen is too small and the battery life is poor..

  • good handphone

  • it is now US$ 300 in indonesia, i like it when first saw, all cellphone shop display it open so look at inside screen and keyboard are awsome... but really disapointing front face, like phone 10 year ago...

  • L.G cellphones is very good models i like a lg kt610 is a very good phone bussines pupores is a very good speed of model

  • the mrp of this cell is 17k call for further assitance

  • I agree with you k9ra !! Overall, seems to be a good phone

  • MRP not desplaying that's must

  • Hi I am interested in this phone but I notice that that you mention something about smart movi. does this mean that the LG KT610 will be able to play movies and do you have to convert the files. Anybody please

  • Definitely Iphone is better//// Don't be fooled by the looks

  • yes i think so

  • I got this phone for about a week and so far it's quite good. Solid construction, stable system, easy to manage. then a problem arise afterwards: the battery power. It really lacks big time. Only with small usage of texting, conversing, then the battery power plunge down within less that 18 hours. What's up with that? Anyone one of you people have this kind of problem? Again, overall the phone is outstanding

  • They should splash some color on this...maybe blue, green, pink, or orange??? anyone with me?

  • it s is very good model i have use this phon and is also smartmovi working in this phone every syetem in nokia, but it is very quet model

  • its music is loud or not?can I do video recording or not?Can I see video songs?

  • hi guys just wanted to take an opinion im currently using an apple iphone 3g and im not very happy with it plannin to trade in the iphone for lg kt610 is it a good idea or not

  • This is a basic, yet good phone. It is fast. Keys are easy to press (even for those with BIG thumbs). Functions are clearly arranged and veru user-friendly. It is a GOOD move by LG!

  • i am using nokia 6120 classic and want to upgrade to kt610. wanted to know if there is ang lag in opening or moving from applications as i used a friends n95 and it was dead slow compared to my 6120. what is the processor used in kt610?????

  • I use a push email service called SEVEN and it work flawlessly on Nokia E90 Communicator and should work for LG too. Please LG we want more Symbian phones.

  • How to use Push email on this phone since there is no Mail for Exchange software. Anybody has experience when installing Nokia Mail for Exchange 2.7 on this phone, I got "Certificate Error". Is there any alternative software can be installed?

  • you can user Ctrol+C then ctrl+v

  • Magnificent phone!!! But too bad, no t9..... hey,but no problem, it look cool to me!!! (-_-) so cooool......

  • Use ym tiny for mesenger or talkonout for free... This phone is very elegant...

  • i love this phone but i cant find any games for my phone or any messenger what can i do or where can i go??????? help

  • Could anyone help, can this phone use any OS for other usage, like Windows support. On other hand, can I download BIBLE for friendly usage too. Please help... many thanks. Alexdegret

  • i already bought it & i like it.. Bought it when there`s promo about 320usd. Its cheap. It`s light, lighter than my past treo 750v. And its comfortable to hold. I`ll score it 8/10. where 2 point deduct from lack of WIFI,IR,good Cam,wide screen.But if you note about the price i`ll give it 9/10 points! you get what you paif for :D

  • Yes, it does ......

  • I have buy this gadget. very light. not like communicator which so weight. Beautiful photo shoot. And I like the stereo speaker.

  • I am going to buy this phone as it quiet impress me. However I expect the upgrade version to come wiht wifi and higher spec on camera.

  • Its a great S60 phone for texters who'd rather type. Its not tyring to compete with nokia communicators its meant to make it easier for keyboard or thumbpad users. I think LG are just taking a different direction to the rest of the market by tyring something unexpected in a different price range. Keep up the good work!

  • Nothing new

  • I have a ton of software on my Nokia 6120 classic. Will it all work with the LG KT610? Will other S60 software also work on the KT610?

  • i'm going to buy this phone as soon as my 6120c sold.

  • boy, this is one ugly phone, looks like my little nephews alphabet learner toy, i would look like a wannabe high end gadget user carrying this, the emphasis on the word "wannabe".

  • Does it has any office editor (like Quickoffice)??

  • i bought this phone 1 week ago. this is the greatest phone i ever had. communicator in smaller size. i like this phone so much. xoxo

  • This phone : - only with 2 mp camera ? is that too low ? - only with document viewer but cant edit word, excel and powerpoint ? - 3g camera is at the bottom left of the corner, how to use ? if use 3g, how are we going to type and video use parralelly? Convenience ? - without infarred?

  • frz..i think LG cant compare with nokia E90 since it dont have wifi and it cant catch out the technology right now because all of the current new model phone is with wifi. Actually i am E90 user, i dont think without wifi, LG can replace nokia phone to become communicator phone.

  • Its time to say GOODBYE NOKIA ! . We've find the low price commy but with best build and best material. No creap no dust under the screen!

  • it's the best communicator i think .. suit with a size of pocket , and with a symbian OS it's vry amazing .. i'm vry impressed with it

  • Yes its suport symb. Best build for bussines phone, its not like nokia !(nokia>expensiv phone with ceap material)

  • Can it support all Symbian application? Important is whether it support Mail for exchange as I use it on e61i

  • no wlan :(

  • Cells4u.com has this phone. Great Service I just bought it.

  • I bought this one, after very scrutinous comparison. I am delighted I did. Build quality is very very impressive. Was used to Blackberry (which has enormous possibilities but not as easy going as the very logical Symbian OS. External screen has automatic key lock, easily 2-touch unblockable. Internal screen very high resolution and no glaring problems so very readable. Also quite awesome battery autonomy. Besides very nice "just phone" feeling, which remains first use of any gsm... Understatement mobile this is, very businesslike, and people are impressed at you unflipping it. I have to repeat, the build quality and feel are really awesome, I had 22 mobile phones until today, this is by far the highest qualilty I ever touched. WifFi is not there, maybe a pity but not that big disadvantage, as - at least in Belgium - almost all (even private) netwerks are secured, so HSDPA is much more of use.

  • this cell phone is not a nokia. so, please stop comparing it to the e90. this is an lg kt610. it's not as good as a nokia e90 in many asoects, for sure. but, the price is only half that of e90's as well. if you want the e90, then go get the e90, as long as you want to pay the extra US$350 or so for it.

  • The specs say that it has push email, but the review does not mention it... what kind of push email does it have (if any)? would it support Microsoft Exchange Activesync? (I know that all E-series Nokia phones have that.)

  • Just read the specs. You'll notice it says no wifi.

  • Is good .. masculine apperance for top guy. is there wi-fi?

  • Does the keypad lock in any manner?

  • This phone has an impressive audio quality. Very LOUD in 4 stereo speakers, also good in headset. "Communicator Sounds Good"

  • this communicator series is good gadget, with good price than nokia e90 series,i think we should choose this gadget, but i think lg need give some facilities in this gadget,like wifi,because that's very important.....thx(sela)

  • you can get it at dechowireless c om i saw it on there for about high 3s or lower 4s

  • a budget communicator? the idea was great, but LG made a bad decision by not equip this phone with WiFi. and i think they should hire new design team. because this thing was damn ugly... well, i hope, the next KT series will be better than this one.

  • I have been using NOKIA communicator for the last 5 years ( 9210 i, 9500, 9300 ) and still using the 9300 series. Due to my work, I need to have a second phone but I can't stand those small phone that takes ages to find a letter when doing sms. I thought of Nokia E90 but I am done with huge mobile. So, when I read about this LG KT 610, I was attracted to it. Not only it has the key pad ( yippeeee ), its a lot smaller and its relatively inexpensive. So I bought it. I am not a high tech person. Even though I've been using high tech communicator, but many of the features I don't have clue what for. So in that department I think KT 610 is good. So far after using it for a week now, what I found is that it is not as 'friendly user' as NOKIA ( nothing does anyway !! ), especially when those dot and comma is not accessible instantly. Its a little bit annoying to have to use 'shift' when I want to type those dot, comma, question mark, etc. But overall, I am quite happy...:)

  • go to the TO field and just press the centre button on the D pad!

  • does the phone features FP2? uhm... LG phones are not so popular here in philippines.. but i think this phone is great since it operates symbian OS.. if only they upgraded the camera to 3.2 mp ^^. that would be great then..

  • woaahhhh an lg with symbian os ?!? awesomo

  • Good phone. Bought it in Laos at USD 317 package contained 2GB Sandisk microSD card. Though compared to Nokia E90 the keypad is a bit small to operate but got used to it in only 2 days. Now I really like this cuteee. Built quality is very good. Better than Nokia. If only it had 3,2 mpix auto focus camera and wifi Nokia would have struggled to compete with this Yound Boss.

  • Blair's phone is Orange EnV...

  • This phone is now available in Indonesia. The price is among US$ 354 range. Too bad there is no WLAN.

  • This phone is available in Malaysia now. Haven't checked the price for it yet.

  • sometimes it takes couple minute to connect to server n sometimes can't reach the server coz it's said bad gateway, is there a way to solve this

  • Anyone knows about Processor? How many MHZ's of this phone?

  • I just wait gsmarena to review this phone, this is more actual and believable. c'mon gsmarena, do this A.S.A.P Thanks.

  • Hai, Giuseppe and other KT610 owners!. I bought one yesterday. How would you insert a name/phone number from 'contacts' in a text message? The option is only insert > template. Thanks.

  • i want this phone!

  • just bought mine yesterday 350USD,it support sdhc 8gb(another 60$).dunno how to use the gps yet.. but sounds are ok and quite loud. n clear too... played with all the menu. fast loading no sluggishnes.. and work as hsdpa modem too...

  • LG KT610 cau use with blackberry connect ?

  • It has quickoffice program but I can not do office activities in this program. Is it only for reading?

  • this is my new phone now. i love it..

  • Im from Indonesia. I've seen this mobile in a mall. And i guess it's quite worth to buy. LG sell it for Rp. 3.500.000 or about 380 USD. For me, with HSDPA and qwerty keyboard and symbian S60 (Symbian is much better than WM) it's fascinating.... But i haven't use the phone.

  • well... i spotted blair waldorf use this phone the entire first season of gossip girl... but hers is orange

  • me i live in the uk and we don't have anything like this hear

  • it's not big at all. actually it look's like an ordinary phone when its closed. it's nice.

  • who would buy this.

  • the phone is not even that crash hot

  • I don't think so... In what Country? Here it is present! Bye.

  • The phones not even out so don't go for it

  • Ok let me get this straight, LG is releasing a phone that looks like the E90 and is putting in a teeny weeny LCD into it, well then wat is the point in the big clam

  • I've buyed it 4 days ago, like a companion for my other device, Nokia N82. Sure, it isn't an E90, but it seems better than others. No wi-fi, but for now there aren't lots of public-point, so I don't worry about this. Good designe, for me: as like an "ancient" mobile phone, I like so much! Good mp3-machine, believe me... It's quiet fast in his application, too; symbian is symbian, not like N82, but... it's ok. Note, boyz... I'm old, and not really technological... (smile)!

  • where is ms-office & wi-fi ?

  • I can't wait for this phone to come out I am deffient going to be the first one is the lone to buy it I love this phones so come on lg and put the phone on sale

  • This phone roxx!!! i am gettin a fone finally for my b-day and i hope its thins one haha

  • i love this future phone...yeesss....yesss....yess

  • i dont like the flip design... small screen inside / outside... no wifi..can not edit document..only view.. compare to others brand around this price... it`s not worth to buy..

  • saw in the newspaper today, LG give 200 pcs on loan for a month to lucky suscriber. hmmm... but no wifi huh?

  • no WiFi? i don't think so....

  • I have the feeling that this phone has been canceled... LG went totally dark on it and they overshot the expected release date by a great margin. Now they know that if it is to sell, with the current competition in the smartphone market, they should drop the price quite below what they would like to get for it, which does not make business sense. I believe they would come up with a similar model with more "modern" business features and sell it for a higher margin.

  • uh... try the env 2

  • why would you post performance results if no one has it?

  • In the US there's a very very similar variation of this phone known simply as the LG Voyager. Its probably the closest thing out that will give the iPhone a run for its money. The phone is a very smooth operation phone. Along with the feature availible through Verizon Wireless, makes this possilbly on of the most powerful devices on the market, considering price. Its a good alternative to the iPhone.

  • This celphone is Great. In the front part it have a Touchscreen Display and it opens as you ppl see in the picture. This is great, my opinion is that is worth 10x than an iPhone. =) Bye

  • Is there a screen on the front of the phone?...and like texting buttons (numbers) on the front?

  • how much is this phone?? i want it to have wi fi.. =( i hope...pls? it is nice the only thing that i dont want is that its not touch screen and the wifi.. i really need that...

  • @fifi. This phone looks nice but no wi fi. Can i be Allan instead of Frank.

  • There is good comment for KT610. If you want to buy, it helps your decision.

  • can't wait to get this phone happing to get it for christmas 2008 will it be out in time thanks

  • How is it that no one just says how great or bad a phone is...we either moan about this or that function which to some of us is irrelevant because we would just like the bigger picture in order to decide weather to buy the phone or not...so guys stop being so annoying and just be frank.

  • Well, I don't need wifi in my cellphone. It has bluetooth for laptop internet access and data exchange. Wifi kills the battery ! It was never designed to be used in a cell ! This is going to be the cheapest, full keyboard, cellphone :-)

  • Very important feature is missing i.e. WiFi. Otherwise it is a very nice looking machine.

  • nokia e90 is ok i dont like the look much, the toshiba g910/g920 is aight to plain looking, and then theres the sharp 922 (922sh) thats my favourite just there isnt much specs on it so far but i hear its a great phone

  • I can't wait to get my hands on this phone! A buddy of mine has the CDMA version offered by verizon (Envy2); It's pretty slick, the os doesn't lag.

  • yes it is symbian s60 version. I saw the phone in the exhibition. It look easy to input the text and easy to bring. There are all application I needs. Yes one thing is small LCD(2.4"). But I like to current LCD compare to big sie phone with bigger LCD. Actually 2.4" is not the small lcd.

  • It is great phone for ligh Biz man. Compact size make you happy to bring. Powerful multimedia. It also support GPS, So I can use as navigation. I can see the full internet. If it's display is 2.8", it will be Million seller model. But except this I like to use it.

  • LG, more than 5 years mobile biz, they couldn't make their own image in mobile brand, this is very silmilar to Nokia 4 years ago???

  • This phone looks like Nokia E90 communicator. Symbian, lower camera resolution, full qwerty keyboard, 3G, no Wifi or WLAN may cost cheaper than E90 and try to compete with E90.

  • @Ranev, you're obviously confused. Go look at the s60 website and peek your bag of S60 games 320x240 or 240x320. Actually in a modern s60 v9.1 device (or later) is meaningless which way the screen is turned. Have you ever heard about 'rotateme'? This device will be the cheapest S60 full keyboard (and a big one at that) on the market :)

  • ilike that phone cheap on price and a qwerty key pad .but the problem is at current there is not a single mobile game that supports 320 x 240 res yes i am not talking about (240 x 320) i am talking about 320 x 240

  • This is close to what I have been waiting for. (The only extra things i want are a bigger display (240x480 or 320x640 2.6" or 2.8" wide screen) and a T9-like smart dialer on the external keypad. Anyway, when is it coming out? anyone knows for sure?

  • Is this handset S60 compatible? If yes that may explain the fairly high ratings,otherwise - not much in it :-(

  • what a wasted oportunity. could have had a decent size screen with high resoution, wi-fi. but no, they make it look good then put rubbish on it.

  • is the the verizon voyager phone?

  • is it coming in asia ?

  • You guys, this phone ISN'T a business phone.....its a multimedia phone i repeat...NOT A BUSINESS PHONE!

  • C'mon LG could've done much beta.looks a bit like a toy.

  • give up LG give up ! ,this phone has nothing to do with a decent bussines phone

  • The thing is,a huge screen needs lots of power to lite up and 'service'. Look at all this fancy Nokia's,Samsungs ans Sonyericsson's - they barely last a day on a charge. I ain't going to browse the web or watch Star Wars on it. It will be OK the check urgently a important email and to give a NO/Yes answer. It will be perfect for me.

  • Can't really understand why the screen is so small... there is so much room there to increate the screen size. Appart from that i like it!

  • This phone will be the cheapest s60 by far and will have a 'full qverty' keyboard ! No other 'kiddies' functions. Just right for me. Now I can sms customers without having to use a 8 button keyboard and have the advantage of s60 (lots of programs to chose from - some free)

  • what i would like to know is that these LG KT610 Iis it a good phone or what? bt from what i se it looks great on the outside i would like to have it

  • Being an S60 phone, will all my S60 #rd edition programs work on it?

  • this phone looks cheap and nasty, like an old calculator. i hope they dont over price it because it will never sell! if you click and enlarge the picture you will see what i mean.

  • Any news on the release date? Hope LG doesn't overprice. I'll have to wait and see if all my symbian apps work properly on both screens. Guess LG is aiming at Txt & email addicts with this model.

  • this is an env2. it'll be out soon

  • yea a e70 with wm6 and a touchscreen

  • Way to go LG. I've been waiting for a device like this for years (only thing better would be an updated Nokia E70 sized closer to the 6822). What I need is a Nokia 6120 w/slightly larger screen & QWERTY keyboard to enter calendar/contact info, but don't need the rest of the fancy stuff like the E90. People complaining about that are missing the point: The KT610 is smaller in all three dimenstions, enough to be pocketable unlike the E90, and smaller display, no WiFi and no fancy camera means it'll have good battery life & can be reasonably priced. I have no use for a >$500 mobile device anyway, as it means I'll be too afraid of it getting lost or stolen. They also did right by having a separate numeric row which doesn't require a modifier key, and the small external display is just right for looking up a contact to call or viewing the next appointment. What remains to be seen is how smooth the internal/external mode switchover is (I notice the external keypad doesn't have S60 Menu or Edit keys), and whether LG delivers a stable S60 implementation, whether the 3d-party S60 apps will work properly (internal display is landscape only) etc. I think this has the potential to be an excellent seller.

  • to makers of all phones wlan is a must now don't even bother making a phone without it..>> idiots

  • Again!!! no WLAN!!!! this feature should be standard in every phone... LG!!

  • This phone is nothing to the e90 it's like comparing a penny to a $100.00 bill this phone is a nokia e90 wanna-be nice going LG.......NOT!

  • could have added WLAN capability

  • kya copy ki hai. something forget yaar hhmmmmmmm no wifi. Sincere advice! Please do not release w/o wifi and what about the processor speed?

  • i dont kno y u guys r comparing this to the e90, its not even a buisness phone. its a multimedia phone like the voyager and the enV

  • This phone cannot compare to the E90, everything about it is a joke. the only reason I would get it is because it's slick and thin compared to the E90. Does the screen on the outside also let you use the s60 like the E90 or will it be like the 9300/9500 where its one OS on the inside and another on the outside?

  • you guys are looking at the secondary screen there is a main screen when the phone closes, it's a touch screen almost like an iphone when it's closed

  • Good idea, but this screen is a joke Larger screen guys!!!!

  • very low on features for a phone of type nokia e90 still rocks in this type.

  • hi this is to quekc whats wrong with windows mobile?

  • no wifi??!!! only 2.4 screen??!! this baby should not be worth of more than 500 euros

  • hey dis looks like a good phone. qwerty keyboard with symbian. nice hope its not expensive

  • windows mobile please !!! not symbian !!!

  • is this the voyager?

  • i'm falling in love with LG... go LG! Life's Good! :P

  • I hate windows mobile for many reasons..

  • why not windows mobile? the perfect device should be:lg kt610 windows mobile and keybord in the front with nombers only like the nokia e90 with touch screen.

  • Finaly - LG have done it :) A screen with 640x480 resolution. Now let's see what Nokia and Samsung has to say. Go LG Go :) Superb device. The retards at SorryEricson and Motorola must wake up or die down.

  • oh no, this must b a mistake!

  • this model looks complicated its looks like nokia old model communicater if lg put inside many function then why they didnot think about look. keypad look and inside design looks like a toy. i have use many lg phones good quality .just looks is a prob.

  • i am the first one to post one ha ha ha i have falle in love i have to get one i have just ordered a sony ericsson K850 but in may i will change it to this lush thing i am in love getting me self one i am in love getting me self one i am in love getting me self one

  • i am the first ........ nice phone its like nokia e90
