I don't use video much but can record in full resolution ok. Not sure about frame rate, will check on pc later. I have never experienced specific text email issues on se phones but i did go through 3 k750's in a year and 5 k800's the following year due to faults in everyday use such as rebooting, switching off, non functioning buttons, joystick failure, non functioning camera cover etc. Then had nokia n73 and n95 which were better but still had little faults. Personal experience tarnishes opinion i guess

Alan can you record in 30fps?
or can anyone else record in 30fps?
Because im only get to 15fps.

Really be happy for an answer :)

You can check fps by open the movie in quicktime player (on pc) and press ctrl+i.


hi!

i own a kc550, my question is why i only get 15fps
when it says 30fps @d1(720x480) on the front of the box?

what is wrong? is it some setting i must do first?

sorry for my bad english :)

please give me a answer.

Have had this phone for about three weeks now and am seriously impressed. Camera is superb (much better than my wife's Samsung G800 and at least as good if not better than my old N95), media player is good, customisation is excellent and most importantly as a phone it is almost perfect.

Texts, emails and calls are all handled perfectly and day to day handling is way above what I've experienced with my previous phones (SEk750i, SEk800i, Nokia N73, Nokia N95).

Has some really nice well thought out touches to the interface which make a nice difference. In my humble opinion this phone is an absolute bargain and would have a price tag twice as high if it had one of the other brand names on its casing.

I'm not easy to please and don't often post on here but if you have doubts about this phone they'll be banished within the first day of ownership. All I need now is for LG to put all of these nice tweaks and touches into a smartphone so I can also replace my ageing Palm Treo 750 aswell.

To the guy / girl with the SEK850... I have not tried a K850 but I have had a K750, K800 and W880 and although I liked the sonys I think I'm now an LG convert which is a big suprise as I bought this because my N95 kept rebooting and I have a mate with a chocolate and another with a shine (and now a secret) who swear by them. Personally if I had a K850 I'd sell it, get this and then spend the weekend in the pub with the money you'll make.

And no, I don't work for LG, I'm just made up to actually own a phone that does what it says on the box and not do what it says on the box sometimes when it feels like it and isn't freezing, rebooting or crashing!

You decide but I wouldn't swap it for an N95 and £50 cash!! High praise indeed!!

If you are looking for a 5MP touchscreen + regular keypad checkout LG's new SECRET phone. I haven't tried it out.. but it looks really nice!

Video are good for a low rang phone like this, but only 3gp and 15 fps meaning blurred and jerky. Definitely will go for Secret
