LG KF600 - Expert Reviews

Award: Editor's Choice!

Review summary: The layout of KF600 is simply great. Only half of it is touch-controlled, but that's superb.

Verdict: Since iPhone literally blasted through the world, all manufacturers are trying to create some kind of touch interface, but KF600 is different, although not unique. The principle is that the display is split in two and only the lower third part is touch-se

Review summary: Nokia for multimedia, Sony Ericsson for music - LG for touch screen?

Pros: Idea of Interact Pad

Cons: Sluggish interact pad Shutter lag

Verdict: A terrific idea. In practice, this is an average phone with a mediocre touchscreen

Pros: 2" 256K-color TFT LCD display of QVGA resolution 1.49" 256K-color TFT 176 x 240 pixel InteractPad 3.15 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash Tri-band GSM/EDGE support Bluetooth and USB v2.0 Cool additional themes by Keith Haring FM radio Cool games

Cons: No 3G support 2-inch display is small for a multimedia handset Front panel is a fingerprint nightmare Uncomfortable keypad The haptic feedback on the InteractPad has a delay Non-hot-swappable memory card

Pros: Keith Haring themes, Contextual menu, Sliding mechanism feels smooth

Cons: Touchscreen is awkward to use, Cumbersome Web browsing, Poor quality camera, no xenon flash

Verdict: It seems like everyone is trying to figure out innovative ways to implement touchscreens, and while the LG KF600 is definitely an interesting concept, we don't think it works as smoothly as it could. We're definitely interested in seeing where LG takes th
