14 DAY TRIAL // Nothing but the best for the best mobile phones out there... LG has just given the royal treatment to its KE500 handset, by showing it off during a presentation. With a pretty model holding it under the spotlights, what more could a handset dream of?
LG KE500 has been announced back at the beginning of this year and recently hit stores. It received a quiet release, but is now making up for it. The slider phone doesn't seem to be something special at first sight. Moreover, it greatly resembles handsets coming from this producer's main competitor, Samsung. It's a classic looking slider, as many others we have seen up to now, although this comes in a fairly slim size, at its 97 x 47 x 14.9 mm.
The specifications list is not very impressive either. LG KE500's screen is capable of supporting a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and also has a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser for viewing Internet pages. One disappointing thing about this phone is that it is not 3G-enabled. Instead, it has GPRS and EDGE technology, for average data transfer speeds. Other than that, connectivity is available through Bluetooth and USB, as most modern mobile phones are capable of providing.
The 2 megapixel camera is just as plain as all other features on this phone. There is also a media player includes, along with an FM radio that should take care of the entertainment feature. LG KE500 also comes with a microSD card slot, for making sure that the user never runs out of data storage space.
The phone is now out on the market, for a price around 100 pounds without a contract. It comes in two colors: black and grey, both as classic and plain as most of its features.
