LG KF510

It is quite obvious that sleek looks and youthful appeal are very high on the LG list of priorities recently. Just as we gave you the flamboyant LG KF600, LG KF510 makes us wonder how much sweeter Chocolate can get. Undoubtedly of the same bloodline, the two handsets take a different approach to full touch navigation with InteractPad and Touch Lighting. The rest of the ammo is basically the same. The really sleek metallic finish and bigger 2.2" display (no InteractPad to shrink the screen) are the LG KF510 major assets. The ultra slim slider has the looks and handling to get us exited, so let's get rolling.




Key features:

-Great design and slim body
-Touchpad navigation
-2.2" 262K-color TFT display of QVGA resolution
-3 megapixel camera with autofocus
-microSD card slot with hot-swap
-USB v2.0 and Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP
-FM radio
-Good web browser



Main disadvantages:

-No 3G support
-Tri-band only
-Poor file management
-Video recording maxes out at QVGA resolution
-Inadequate display legibility in direct sunlight




Final words

Recommending or not the LG KF510 is a tough call. Provided especially that the handset hasn't yet officially hit the shelves and its retail price is still unknown.

What's beyond any doubt though is that LG KF510 is a very sleek and fun to use phone. It does have a few flaws in the user interface, some of which aren't that minor either (read file management). It still is a nice step forward for LG in terms of user-friendliness. Not the least, the build quality is great and the phone does feel great to hold.
