Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted September 30, 2008 Aiming at the midrange market, LG will be bringing full touch handsets to the masses, by introducing their latest LG KP500. Standing at 11.9 mm of thickness, the LG KP500 may be affordable but not at the expense of style. Borrowing its design from the LG RENOIR , the LG KP500 uses the latest reincarnation of the proprietary LG Flash-based UI. The user interface is thumb-optimized, but a stylus is also provided to assist handwriting recognition. Unlike the LG Viewty however, the stylus here is tucked into the body of the handset itself. he LG KP500 is not a high-end device, but once again it's feature pack is optimized for affordability. The KP500 doesn't have 3G support, but there's quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE for a true world-wide use. It also has a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera, but there's a 3-inch wide touch screen display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels to poke around. A microSD memory card slot, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and gaming completes the tally. A virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard and office document viewer are also present. Weighing only 89 g, the LG KP500 will land in Europe in October 2008. Its price will be announced later on via : gsmarena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 well i dont think v wud b having full fledged 3g b4 2010. so i dont think so it is not worth to invest in 3g less handsets . also consider this that data on gsm is very costly as compared to cdma atleast here in india ...and looking at the way 3g data is charged around the world when 3g wud b launched in india it will b very costly so now u think how many people wud use it . i have a frend who iworks in the technical dept n vodafone ...though they have started testing 3g he told me its still a very long way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 also consider this that data on gsm is very costly as compared to cdma atleast here in india ...and looking at the way 3g data is charged around the world when 3g wud b launched in india it will b very costly so now u think how many people wud use it . ^^^ My dear friend, the one who purchase a highend mobile can definetely afford the higher rentals also. We are ready to pay more if we get quality and world class services. And lets hope for the best my dear friends. 3G will be announced soon in India. Atleast MTNL and BSNL are going to start the same very soon. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 Dear Kamal Seems you misunderstood my post again. First of all is phone is not a highendphone And secondly who said only high hand phones have 3G.Today 3G feature has come to mid range phones n also appearing in low end devices So by your logic if highend users wud afford it (I disagree on this) so what about the mid to lower end users who constiture more than 70% of mobile users. Wont it b costlier for them Anyways seems v r going off topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@ksh@T 20 Report post Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Full Specs LG KP500 specs will include: Quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900), GPRS/Edge connectivity 3″ 240×400px 262K color TFT display/touchscreen 3 mpx (2048×1536 px) camera with 12 fps video recording Virtual on-screen QWERTY keyboard FM Radio Built-in motion sensor 46 MB of user memory microSD memory card slot Bluetooth A2DP, USB 900 mAh Li-Ion battery with 210 min talk and 330 hrs stand-by time Dimensions: 106.5×55.4×11.9mm Weight: 89 LG KP500 price in Ukraine will be $350 (~250 EUR). And, without subsidies, it should be similar in the rest of the world. So, there you have it. LG KP500 is rather cheap handset among it’s full touchscreen peers. But it is also very basic - no 3G, no Wi-Fi, no GPS, no flash and autofocus for a camera and no fancy DivX playback on that big display. But, I guess, a good option for a budget conscious full touchscreen phone fan. [vIa: uNWirEdvIeW] Edited October 2, 2008 by @ksh@T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
