After I had the opportunity to test several touchscreen and pseudo touchscreen phones in the Vodafone shop, the small, flat KP500 LG liked of course on the price, the big 3 "display and also of the handling as well as the simple and intuitive menu guidance immediately.
Really good but I found that despite the low price, the processing and materials made a very good impression. This impression is consolidated with advanced handling of the device in everyday use.
Moreover, it is with one of the slimmest (11,9mm) and lightest (89g) touchscreens that are currently available and it is therefore a more than adequate alternative to the I-Phone, if:
The user can on fast internet connection (for which I have my laptop) and dispense -
- To the thumb is not a power user with constantly on display and access forced his diary and his spreadsheets.
For SMS, MMS, calls, music (MP3 and radio), video and occasional photography, as well as image viewing (editing) and video playback (editing), it is prepared more than adequate. The organizer, calendar, note, alarm and calculator functions are perfectly adequately for normal users. The sound quality is very good even without a headset and with the good in headphones in the package.
The touchscreen display is highly luminous and can accommodate both the resolution and the color depth with all other real touchscreens.
Cool features are changing the spelling variations when tilting the display and the corresponding behavior in the slideshow from each high in landscape mode and back.
Connections via Bluetooth and USB with the laptop are simple and intuitive. Synchronization with eg. Outlook Express leaves few wishes, because, for example, not adopted the birthdays and the evidence exchanged names.
The different spellings with the virtual keyboard (both in portrait or landscape orientation are simple and based on a well-reacting touch screen (and yes, I have big, thick fingers and thumbs) user-friendly. The letter drawing (as a third word input variant) is rather a nice gimmick as truly of value in use.
At the tiresome subject battery can say this much:
If you use the energy saving functions and reduces the general brightness of the display to 60 or 80 percent, the battery lasts of one week (approximately 7 days) in normal SMS and telephone operation and otherwise sporadic program use.
For me the supplied 900mA battery held by the initial charge and subsequent intensive Try all functions exactly 5 days (at night I turn the unit off).
If you renounce but to set up the power saving mode, the display can light up at full strength (which is imo not necessary), the cell phone at night does not shut down and keeps it almost constantly in operation, reduces battery life to about 2 to 4 days and it makes perfect sense to another mobile phone to access with high-capacity battery.
Well, now it was a little more detail than planned .......
From my LG KP500 gets the following scores:
- Functional 5/5
- Applications 5/5
- Performance 4/5
- Battery 3/5
- Handling 4/5
- Processing 5/5
- Materials / quality 5/5
- Price 5/5
