LG KC780 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The LG KC780 is a slim mid-range phone with an
amazing 8 megapixel camera. Other features include an MP3 player, FM
radio, Bluetooth and expandable memory.
Review: January 2009.
The LG KC780 is described by LG as a "high–end feature phone available
at an affordable price." The reality is that it's a mid-priced GSM phone
with standard mid-range features, but with a high-end camera. This gives it
a rather lopsided feature set and probably explains why hardly any of these
phones are appearing in the shops. That and the fact that LG's advertising guys
seem to have forgotten to tell anyone about it.
Don't get us wrong, it isn't a bad phone, but it isn't destined to be a big
seller.
Look at the positives - it's free on mid-priced contracts, it's a slim slide
phone with an amazing 8 megapixel camera, it has an MP3 player and FM radio,
space for a memory card up to 8GB, and Bluetooth. If you want an 8MP camera
phone but can't afford an LG Renoir, then
look at this one by all means.
Features of the LG KC780 include:
- 8 megapixel camera with Schneider Kreuznach lens, autofocus and flash
- Video recording

- Connectivity: USB, Bluetooth
- Internet: WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 12, EDGE

Can I just start by saying STOP! STOP RIGHT HERE! If you are thinking
of buying this phone, STOP HERE AND SPARE YOURSELF MONTHS OF MISERY!
Its rare that I find something so bad that I actually want to give it
a negative star rating, but this is a real contender. Ok, the camera
is good. Then the positives stop. The messaging tools are clumsy and
slow. The calender is poor and also slow. The alarm switches itself
off. Oh, and the damn thing crashes ALL THE TIME! But this isn't even
getting started. The stupid thing will start only sending one pagers
for no reason. Sometimes it doesnt even send messages at all! I have
even known it to send a message to the person who last messaged me,
and NOT THE NUMBER THAT I SPECIFY! And then the countless hours that
I've sat with the thing apart in my lap, trying to work out why it won't
read the sim card or just won't switch on (or even off, which is in
a way more frustrating!)... Please, do not make the mistake that I did.
If you're thinking of buying this phone, learn my lesson and get something
else. I don't know if all LGs are this monumentally bad, but all I can
say is that I for one have been put off for life.

Phone is brilliant, good looking, practical. Menu is easy to use. Video
is perfect for mobile. I can't find different between 8MP and 5 MP picture,
but I'm satisfied with phone. For phone 5 stars. Horrible thing about
this phone is LG technical support. I bought this phone and in box only
manual was in Italian(unfortunately I don't speak Italian). I asked
LG TS for sending manual(PDF or DJVU format) in some other languages
including English. Idiots send me link to download some program for
support. That program allowed me to download manual AGAIN in Italian(
need IMEI to activate). In this moment I need manual to use some features
of this phone

I think this phone is brilliant.Ok is has'nt got 3g but if you never
use video calling then why pay the extra to have a phone with it on.The
camera on this is spot on.8mp,face detection,smile shot,what more could
you want.I would recommend this phone to anyone but if you want 3g then
its not the one for you.

chose this phone, because was offered on a £15 a month contract with
the whole term being 1/2 price via redemption. making it just £7.50
for phone minutes etc!! I know it isn't supposed to have as much on
it as other top 8 megapixal camera phones, but so far it hasn't diappointed
me. Camera and MP3 player are both excellent. It may not be the slimmest
or smallest phone I've ever had, but I find it great! would have preferred
in silver, but black is ok if a little boring. Did take me a little
while to work around the software. Disc provided loaded onto computer
ok. But then when connected phone, computer didn't recognise it. Think
it may just have been my fault (I'm definately no techno wizard!). I
presume I was just connecting cables in incorrect order, because all
up and running now. Games to download are limited from T-mobile at present,
they say not compatible with handset. Have found great site www.mobilerated.com
they offer free games to download and you can list by those compatible
with your phone. All in all - great phone with plenty of features for
the average person and available on some very affordable contracts.

My husband and I just got this phone tthree days ago and we both think
it's great. Lots of features and takes great pictures although I would
say it is a bit heavy on one side when opened but you can take pics
when it's closed which is good. Also you can use the phone closed to
phone and answer calls and really only need to slide it open when using
text or email. I wouldn't give it 5 stars cause its not brilliant as
there are better phones out there but for cost and what I need it for
I give it 4*.
