(Sorry for forgetting)takes pics quickly, most time is taken loading up the camera
Camera has 'half way' autofocus, like the SE w700
and in the battery life, also taken a few pics/videos a day

-MP3 player is fine, except cant browse music(eg artists) while listening to a track
-Video cant be recorded in the special ways of the secret(me thinks), most likely to keep down costs
-Reception is better than my d900 at my house on Vodafone (i live in a bad area, but i seem to be able to pick up calls here now, which i never used to be able to!)
-Battery life is fine, I've been listening to the mp3 for at least 1 and a half hours a day, sending text/making calls, playing on m-toy and viewing images, all with the screen at full brightness, and the phone seems to last about 2 days
-Shutter sound cant be turned off, but if headphones are in, then it goes through them rather than the speaker( can have 1 of 3)
Think thats about it!

Yeah it can do 720x480 video. Just bought an 8gb microsdhc card and it does not work with the phone. A 4gb microsdhc however works fine.

The highest video rec resolution of KC550 is 720x480 (D1). It supports VGA, QVGA and QCIF also.

What is the highest video rec resolution?
Some web sites says it can record in 720 X 480 while others says it's the same as the Viewty's :640 X 480.
What's the truth?

The only critisism i would give is the fact that when you recieve a text message, it's takes about 2-3 seconds to open rather than instantanious.
Otherwise, this phone is absolutely marvelous. Far better than any other phone i've owned. Camera quality is superb and the flash works fantastic. According to LG's website it's a power LED flash rather than a standard LED flash. Well done LG!!! :)

One more note(sorry!)
the camera feels just that bit more professional, because when the camera is activated the D-pad lights up with little images for flash, antishake, macro mode and image gallery. Its amazing how little touched like that can really improve how the phone comes across

For all those interested in this phone....
Bought the little gem on day of release in UK(thursday 19th), after 'borrowing' a secret for a day and deciding i couldnt live with the touch sensitive keys, as well as being too impatient to wait for the N85. It has replaced my D900 and i can say that it has done so well.
The memory of 25mb(shared) could have been a big let down, but the microSD cards are now so cheap and available that it doesnt really effect the useage(images and vids can be saved directly onto the card)
In your hand, the phone's weight is perfect, feeling bulky enough to give a sense of quality, but without ripping your pocket. The metal band and brushed metal lens cover really give the phone an air of style and make it look professional. The attractive and shiny keypad(similar to the chocolate's) can feel a bit uncomfortable, but is reasonable for touch typing. The navigation keys offer good response and are well placed.
The camera is perfect, remembering this is a 'budget' phone. The interface is clear and easy to use, and the quality of images and video is great. Though it drops the gimmicks of the Kf750, the camera is exactly the same!
THe UI is almost identical to the one on the KG800. Though i found the settings set up confusing(many sound settings have to be changed through 'profiles' rather than 'settings', it is generally easy to navigate and things are where they should be.
The phone supports java apps(though not 3D), so map software can be uploaded, as well as games. The M-toy is, shockingly, really good, though can arouse odd looks! The Media player is average, but will suffice(would prefer a custom Equalizer, and the ability to play music while choosing another song)
The my stuff file system is mildly irritating, but after changing file names on the memory card, this was fixed. The auto-rotate while viewing images can be hit and miss, as it appears to be dependent on not only if the phone is landscape or portrait, but also the angle at which the screen is relevant to ones body(though sometimes it works a dream :S)
Over all, this phone is, in my opinion, fabulous. Its mixture of intelligent cost cuts(no 3G, smaller inbuilt memory) and high class features make it a real alternative to the more expensive phones (like N95,G800)for those who want features without high price. Personally, i would say this phone is perfectly suited to the teenage market, and i would only complaon about the few little niggles i mentioned, and the fact that it can sometimes be a bit slow(but not as slow as the d900, especially when viewing files)

What a fantastic phone. Received it this morning from mobilefun.com. It's loads smaller in the flesh (the pictures make it look like a brick). Packed with features from a top end phone that would normally costs around £300. I would recommend you to buy this. Really smart looking phone, nice one LG.

Information about Nokia:
Nokia prepares for the competition becoming more sharply and develops its operating system Symbian OS to an open platform.
Nokia buys the remaining shares of the British Symbian-developer company completely for 264 million euros and introduces the software in an endowment.
This should be founded together with competitors like Samsung or LG as well as the mobile suppliers AT&T and Vodafone as Nokia informed on Tuesday.
