LG KS20 review: Fashion Pocket PC
With the highly successful KE850 Prada and KU990 Viewty, it's a point taken for LG - users just love their touchscreen handsets with big displays and no keypads. Seeing the next in line was only a matter of time and last summer's announcement...

> In reply to RjB Detroit @ 2009-02-01 15:05 from qNtvI agree with RjB Detroit. This phone suddenly goes dead specially when you need to make an urgent call. The Battery life is very short and even though the phone indicates that the battery is full in actual fact it is dead. Mine is a new phone and yet, I have to keep the phone on charging all the time otherwise rest assured it lets me down suddenly.

Hi. Anyone knows if the 3.5mm jack audio adapters available for other LG phones (e.g. LG Chocolate) can be used with the KS20? The connectors seem pretty much the same but I'm not sure 100% that it would work.
I would like to buy a shorter adapter as the one that comes with the phone + the earphones' cable seems too much cable to carry...

Avoid this phone. Sorry, I really wanted the great features this phone had too but the performance isn't there, even for the low price. The phone during it's best days is slow as melasses, and in true Microsoft fashion, the phone locks-up regularly, and when it does you can't even make a simple phone call (so much for emergency calls too!).
WiFi works when it works, connects when it wants to connect, browser displays pages when it wants to display pages, and goes on...
I uploaded music to my external card and Media Player always freezes half-way when updating the media library, doesn't matter how much or little music I have on the card. Just useless.
This phone also doesn't support anything above 2G memory card natively. You have to find clugy solutions on the net to get this phone to recognize anything above 2G. And, you want to upgrade to Windows CE 6.1? Good luck... those clugy solutions are even harder to follow (believe me, I tried... I'm a computer professional and couldn't get this thing uppgraded, and one wrong move and you might as well throw the thing out). From what I've read, LG will probably not make CE6.1 available so you'll be stuck with the slow performance (still, I wonder just how much better CE6.1 really is...)
Sorry, it's just not worth the frustration. I'll be selling mine on eBay and let someone else who may be more patient than me have a go at it.

Anyone know where to download the free keyboard optimizer so we can actually use the touch screen with our fingers instead of the stylus to type emails and text.

i've been using KS 20 for a month and here are a few comments:-
- sylus gets stuck halfway to prevent it from dropping off accidently. i've had my fair share of stylus-less phones and PDAs
- in place of an OK button as an exit, i use the right button beside the j-stick
- had problems switching between Wi-Fi and service provider EDGE. still hasn't resolved the latter
- speaker sound cracks up after 75%, but fine when hooked up to speakers (bluetooth/cable) as well as headphones
- no choice language option in PS Note, thus makes it tricky to write using local language
- battery has short life span (1 day) so keep charger handy (tip - bring USB adapter as provided as it charges phone whenever connected - defeats the whole purpose of a mobile office doesn't it :-)
Other than the above, I stand by the comments mentioned in review
Do add if i've missed anything.

FFS people, stop arguing over GPS!
This topic is about LG phone and not about what you like or not!

OK GPS is nice feature when you dont have GPS in your car. It is convenient. However, my N95's GPS is so slow in catching signals and cell phone's screen is so SMALL.

Not having build in GPS should be on the ADVANTAGE side of the review!
Its sleek and stylish - what it would not be if it had GPS.
