LG KF700

By Joseph Hanlon on 04 July 2008

LG has slipped many high-end features into the KF700, but priced it as a mid-range handset. The touchscreen is great, and Web browsing is fantastic.

    • Good: touchscreen is good.
      the phone looks good.
    • Bad: 3g doesnt work.
      very very slow.
      crap batt life.
      freezes.
      does wierd unwanted things

    this is the worst phone in the world!!! i have had it for under a month and i hate it so much. 3g doesnt work,it loves to freeze and is incredibly slow when just looking through contacts. takes a good 5 mins just load up music play list and then another 2 mins to start playin a song. the wheel on the back is a good idea but is very slow and the light in wheel some times stays on and the only way to stop that is by turning the phone off. batt life is lucky to make 3 days.

    i have had this phone for a few months now, and if it breaks, and i have to buy another, i wont be choosing the KF700. its generally a bad phone, and it keeps switching itself off when im listening to music. no matter how many times i program it to vibrate when on silent, it just stays silent, no vibration. wouldnt recommend it.

    • Good: mp3 player, keypad, touchscreen, the two cameras, inner and outer, memory, quality, ALL
    • Bad: ~

    i just got this phone. it has been exellent for me and the music is good quality and you can fit alot on it. you can insert a memory stick so that there is more memory and is 3g. but i am not sure what it means- is the internet free like the iphone? it is alot like the viewty- a member of my family has one. and also the iphone and the lgkf700 compares well, i dont need a iphone.

    • Good: user friendly
      stylo
      interesting rotating wheel
      nice inteface
    • Bad: only one free game

    Recently bought this phone and is quite good. Comment from others about sensitiveness is not true as this phone needs calibration when first bought. Overall rating is good.

    • Good: Spin menu
      MP3 playlist
      web browser
      spring loaded slide
    • Bad: speaker volume could be louder
      unable to add contact list to slide menu.
      under or over sensitive (no stylus with phone)

    I got this phone roughly 2 weeks ago, and I agree with angela to a point, yes the phone is sensitive at times and not at other, another thing I have against this phone is the volume, it just does not seem loud enough, the vibration is only slight, I can hardly feel it going in my pocket - though this also has a lot to do with the tunes selected. The pros with this phone I like the spin menu feature (though would be good if you could add the contact list into it) though its music player is ok - playlist etc (though sound as already mentioned). Overall this phone is an ok phone, yes I have had better, though I will power through and see what happens.

    • Good: Excellent Camera
      Large Screen
      Numerical Pad
      Wonderful Interface
      Sensitivity is good.
    • Bad: It's Price!

    I just bought this phone, and what a performer! The camera is superb, rivaling a Sony Ericsson c902 and betters the iPhone! Delightful menu with a quick method of input, and many options to text! All in all this handset is fabulous and I recommend it to anyone who wants an iPhone with a proper keypad.

    i just got this phone just over a week ago and i really dony like it, sometimes the touch screen is over responsive, sometimes it doesnt recognise or respond to touch, there is no 'enter' key, when on a call on speaker phone it mutes itself and will not unmute no matter what you do. i really dislike this phone, coming from the lg viewty, all i wanted was the viewty with a keypad but this is shocking. not for me. has anyone else had a problem with this phone?

  • ray99 gave 10/10 on 06/07/2008 17:23

    • Good: it is a next g phone all good!
    • Bad: none so far but if there is one i get one when my con runs out i will let u no.

    now this looks good i want one of these.
