Rosh: microSD is not included, i got mine from eBay.


Bobo: It is because KF600 plays videos with 11fps and if you are converting a move for it you need to set 11fps instead of 25, otherwise display will look bad.

But you are right, i have shown my friend lately how to convert movie for mobile devices - he has nokia and there was no problem playing the full 25fps on his phone.

i owned LG KF600 for 1 month..overall i think this phone quiet good but there are some problems occur...

1) i don't know if this is normal,but the video played in this phone not so smooth compare to my previous Nokia 6288....lines will appear on the screen if the video are fast..

2) i have recorded 3 videos (5 minutes each) and during playback,the sound not following the real time the video being played

3)volume key,especially lowering the volume key sometimes stuck and lost it's "click"...

3G is not a feature of the phone, i agree with the rest though.

Recently i got the new LG KF600, and played around with it for a few days. I found that there were many major setbacks compared to the old cellphone that I'd previously had. There are some pros to it,so I will start with that. The phone slides, which is my ultimate favourite..cos I love slim and sliding cellphones.The touch screen really amazes me cos I have long fingernails and so I manage to tap on the screen more accurately. I can't live without bluetooth (for mp3s)and it also has an fm radio unlike my old phone. It has a 3.0 mega pixel camera and enables you to toggle on the zoom button after you have captured your image.

But there are many cons to it as LG to what a friend had mentioned before is that it is more to the home appliances category,and not cellphones. They create good looks for the phones but does not have the proper functions a cellphone addict would die for. For instant, it does not have the 3G that i was dying for, and neither does it have a good picture edit for captured still photos such as art, paint or cute memorable frames. If you were thinking of writing something on the picture, I'd suggest that you forget abt it.It does not hv such features.

It does not have a back mirror, which i'd usually check myself out before I take picts with my friends. Zooming is terrible as well..but atleast the picture is wide and clear when transferred to the computer. The alarm is pretty dissapointing as well. I placed the phone on silent and set the alarm, but it didn't go off as loudly as the other phones even if they were on silent as well.So basically, I woke up late for lunch. The theme skins are limited too. You can't have flash screens nor personalized screensavers unlike some older phone models.But atleast i was able to change the fonts of my theme. Lastly, i wasn't able to lock certain areas of my phone for security reasons. I would usually lock all of my messages and pictures for my privacy, but it didn't work. And opening the back cover to change sim cards is really a pain in the neck.

Ok, I know it is a lot of information to breathe in, but in truth the phone is more for class and style. It has the very basic features an ordinary person would be happy to live with. I for one,am very happy with the phone cos it was a present from my dad (i can't complain), and i don't usually play with my pictures nor have the time to play the games(it's pretty limited too). And i don't usually bother abt the settings although i did played around with it. For a nonchalant person like me, I should have waited for the LG KF750. Atleast it has the 3G that I wanted in a sliding phone. cheers*

Responses to last 3 questions:

Java 3d: no idea, nothing in manual about it either.

Themes: only installed ones, 9 of them or so;

Skins: no

Speaker volume: 7/10, not as loud as SE W550 for example, but louder than Shine;

Step-up from shine: have a look at

thank you for your response kean!

I'm still wondering since i read http://www.mobymemory.com/phon...ry-Cards.asp that this phone can hold up to 8gb, even so in the manual says only 2.. i would like to know if it is it true that it can hold 8gb because this is really necessary for me so this pretty much decides if i get this phone or not, if anyone know this is true please let me know

I finally went out and bought the KF600 last Monday, after reading/watching all the reviews on the net. I must say I am impressed with phone. The phone feels solid in hand. The sliding mechanism is smooth and sturdy. I will write about the screens and wallpaper settings first in this review (I like to change wallpapers, A LOT!).

Both the KF600 screen's are very nice and can display vivid colours. You can set the screen dimmer to save battery but only on the main screen.

The Keith Haring themes are very funny indeed and really gives the phone a youthful appearance. It is definitely targeted at the youth market. But I doubt there will be any additional themes available if you want more. The reason is simple, LG phones are not as popular as the other brands so themes that are made particularly for the KF600 will be rare or none at all.

I can stretch a picture to cover both screens as wallpapers. The picture will look like it was cut in two and displayed on both screens in two pieces. But GIF files cannot be stretched so it is only displayed on the main screen. The GIF animation is still functional though. The phone cannot display flash files (.swf) so you can't use them as wallpapers. My brother told me I could convert flash files to GIF files so I will check that out. I would really like to put some interesting animation on my screen and since my brother is a web designer, I will seek his advice on this. One more thing, large GIF files cannot be used as wallpapers at all.

You can calibrate the InteractPad and assign four shortcuts to the homescreen on the InteractPad. Too bad I can't assign a calculator shortcut to the homescreen as I use a phone's calculator all the time.

Alright, thats my review for part one. I'll write about the other functions later.
