LG KS500, the latest one from LG is not that “go for it” mobile phone. The first look would not attract you in anyways and you would just miss it saying “its just another phone”. The reality is that its not just an ordinary phone, rather it has excellent features packed in it.
This slider phone has a 3 Mega Pixel camera with a QVGA display with 262k color. It also supports GPS reciever with all new yahoo! go maps application. There were many rumors online that this device was a hidden smart phone. But the final verdict is that LG KS500 is not a smart phone.
This model from LG offers dual band UMTS/HSDPA support in the tri band GSM ability. The dimensions are 102.8 x 49.2 x 14.9 mm and is not the smallest phone in market. But still its not very huge either.
The most pathetic thing about this phone is that it has 3 MP camera with fixed focus. It also comes with 100 MB built in memory and option for microSD card with support for up to 8 GB memory.
This might sound funny but KS500 is the first mobile hand set by south korean company to give the feature of optical touch pad. This options makes navigation through menus and browsers very smooth.
LG KS500 also has GPS connectivity with A GPS support. Along with yahoo maps, you may also wish to add google maps. The pricing of this mobile is not yet clear, however the only conclusion is that most probably Vodafone would carry this model out. Lets wait and see the price of this handset which would define its demand in the market.

It is look cool gadget, I want it
good specs, but the design is so outdated i’d say. looks like a couple of years old nokia to me
Nice phone )) i want this phone ))
I like the look of the phone, I have had LGs in the past and been dissapointed but I think your review is a good cover of the phone, the only thing that gets me about phones like this is that only one network usually takes them and in which case unless you want to swap networks (which is unlikely now as people are fixed in for 18 months now)
Hello
All the latest features are good. But how many colors they are going release? Because I bored with black color from the past 5 years. Expecting a Great and decent color…..
