Product Description

The LG KG320s is an exclusive, limited edition handset from LG. Slim, sleek, a cool black exterior, with flush flat face. The feel is good both without a case or with its flip open leather cover - one of the mostpractical cases designs around. Equipped with a 1.3MP Camera and an internal memory of 128MB. The data cable included enables the user to synchronize to a PC and download pictures, music or video. But the beuty of this synchronization system is that there is no software required - the PC picks up the phone as a removeable flash drive. Personlisation includes Multi-lingual settings to adapt it for international communities.

Customer Reviews

Everything but a phone
Let me start this review by sharing my personal philosophy on phones, because it will let you understand my frustrations more fully.

A phone's primary purpose is and always will be to make phone calls and allow me to communicate with people. This is followed closely by text and picture messaging, and far, far more distantly by everything else. The KG320S, while it does have quite a number of impressive non-phone features, fails miserably at its primary purpose: being a phone.

The PC Sync w/o software works fine if you want to transfer music and video to and from the phone, but god forbid you want to synchronize the contacts. That requires software which does not work. It gives me a "No response from mobile" error, although at the EXACT SAME TIME I can transfer media from the phone to the desktop. AHH!

The programming of the phone is also very frustrating, as there are some ridiculous aspects of GUI system. Here's a few highlights:
If you receive a voicemail or text message, a handy screen pops up to alert you to it. This screen blocks the view of the clock, but who cares, you can dismiss it, right? Wrong. Unlike every other phone on the market, there is absolutely no way to dismiss the notification screen for more than 7 seconds. It comes right back. You *HAVE* to listen to your voicemail or check the message to make it go away. So if you are in an area with no service, or in a foreign country and don't want to spend the money calling your voicemail, you're out of luck. Anytime you want to check the time, you have to unlock the phone, dismiss temporarily the notification screen, check the time quickly and then re-lock the phone. This gets tiring REALLY fast.

Say you're transferring your SIM card to this phone, and you find the option in the menu to copy all your contacts from the SIM to the handset. That's useful. However, they should warn you that when you do this, your contact list will now have duplicate entries for every contact. Most new phones have a view option that allows you to see only SIM contacts or only Handset contacts, but not this phone.

Say you want to do a silly thing like send a text message, such as "I'm in New York!" Everything is fine until you get to the capital letters in "New York." You have to hit a button twice to get to the capital-letters-input-mode when you get to "new", but then you have to hit the same button FOUR TIMES to get to the SAME input mode in between "New" and "York." The order of the input mode selection changes based on some voodoo internal programming. This, of course, makes it hard to type your message any faster than a retarded sloth on THC. You don't even want to know how many key presses you need if you're trying to use a combination word that's not in the LG's tiny dictionary, like "moneybags."

And forget connectivity. Leaving this phone flat and motionless on the surface of my desk, I can watch as it cycles between "Searching for Network", "No Network", and "Cingular Network with 3 bars." Wtf? Make up your mind, phone! Do I have service or not?


So while the 1.3 MP camera is impressive, it pales in comparison to my expensive Nikon. And while the MP3 player is pretty slick, it's a shoddy imitation of an Ipod. And while the 128 MB of storage space is nice, my 2 GB thumbdrive handles all my needs.

All I wanted was a phone, and the KG320S does not deliver.
