   A good GSM phone for the price, July 28, 2009

   I travel frequently back to the UK so this phone works great for me. It is quad-band and GSM phone which means it has a removable sim card that I can use a pay as you go sim card when I go back to the UK, and then switch it back while back in the US. Unfortunately your limited to AT&T or T-Mobile in the US as the other carriers don’t use GSM phones, not sure why?. The phone itself which I bought in the UK has an adapter for 110/220v for charging in other countries which is a nice touch from LG (I once fried a US adapter by plugging it into a UK socket, duh!). It comes with a screen protector and the casing feels nice and not too cheap. The touch screen itself is bright and easy to navigate and the inclusion of a stylus that fits in the base of the phone makes it very handy when texting. The phone houses a slot for a micro SD card up to 8gb, which is ample for mp3′s and photo’s or video’s. I don’t like that you have to use the supplied headphones in order to listen to music as they aren’t that good and would have preferred the ability to use third party phones.
   Camera quality isn’t that great, but like most phone cameras the quality is grainy, I only use it rarely as I have a good quality digital camera for that. Overall it’s a great little phone that is considerably cheaper and less bulkier than the i phone. And if you need accessories then eBay is the place to go, I picked up a great leather case that fits perfectly, and a car charger. I have had the phone now for 7 months and am pleased with it so far.

   Update: I recently flashed the phones firmware to the latest version which is V10n and the phone is so much better.
   The touch screen works a lot better than before and the slide bar can now be used without having to press hard.
   The firmware install is a little tricky and can only be done on a windows operating system, but is well worth the time as the phone’s performance is so much better. Do a search for KP 500 firmware v10n update.

   I live outside the US and the phone worked perfectly with Guatemalan Carriers, it is a great value phone has almos every feature built in other smartphones. the only downside is that it doesnt has wifi, but the browser is very good, you can surf every web page, not only mobile sites.
   great design not big and bulky like the iphone, its easier to handle when you are speaking.
   The only downside is that you need to push a litte hard sometimes in order to move things or activate things, i dont know if it is only my case or thats the way the is. I own it now for three weeks and im loving it, and the touchscreen is getting more responsive over time.
   The phone has a lot of features but at least im gonna mention the ones I like the most.

   favorite contacts screen
   it remembers the number you dial or the ones that call you, so it suggests every time you start dialing.
   nice camera
   widgets
   grat music player
   up to 8gb micro sd
   Nice phone I highly recommend it.

   Good Phone, NO MMS Function In U.S., July 13, 2009

   This is a very nice phone with great features. It has a rubbery feel to it (doesn’t scratch easy) and a beautiful screen. However, if you buy it unlocked for U.S. use, the MMS (picture, mp3 messages) will not work! I was surprised. Everything else works though, even text messages. I talked to AT&T to try to make it work, but after an hour on the phone they said it cannot be done because this unlocked phone is not available in the U.S. Therefore not all features will work. But if you can live without MMS, this phone is awesome.

   Pros: Clear and bright screen even in direct sunlight, Build quality, Features, Customizable, Built in stylus, Micro SD slot up to 8Gb

   Cons: Camera (no auto focus, no flash), small qwerty keyboard, FM radio cant be played without headset attached.
