LG KF510 Review
Phone rating:
In a nutshell: The KF510 is a gorgeous, ultraslim fashion phone.
With a sleek touchscreen design, sparkly LED lights, a 2-tone graded
colour scheme and a metal body, it's one of the best looking phones
available. It's fully featured too, with a 3 megapixel camera, MP3 player,
FM radio, Bluetooth and memory card. However, the touch sensitive screen
isn't the best around, the battery life is poor, and the phone seems
to be prone to failure.
Review: May 2008. Updated June 2009.
With the LG KF510, LG have made a phone that just looks the business.
If you want to wow your mates in the pub, look no further. We were expecting
the beauty to be just skin-deep, but the more we played with the KF510,
the more it grew on us. Sure, we're shallow and easily pleased, but
hey!
Let's do the looks first, since that's what this phone is really all
about. It's an ultra-slim slide phone with a sleek touchscreen design.
The colour scheme is gorgeous, with a two-tone graded finish in either
Sunset Red or Stardust Dark Grey. When you move your fingers over the
touch-sensitive surface of the phone, LED lights blink on and off. It's
quite hypnotic, or at least we thought so. Maybe LG have hypnotised
us into writing such nice comments! On the other hand, it's clear from
user feedback that not everyone likes the touchscreen buttons, with
many people finding them overly sensitive and prone to misfire. Oh,
nearly forgot to mention that it's quite a heavy phone, despite being
so thin, as its body is made of metal.
There's more to the phone than just looks. The camera is quite respectable
for an entry-level phone, with a 3 megapixel resolution and autofocus.
Not up to David Bailey standards, but as good as anything else in this
price range. There's an MP3 player of course, plus the bonus of an FM
radio. You can customise ringtones, play games, send messages and browse
the web, just like any other modern phone. Bluetooth and USB connectivity
are both present, so all boxes seem to be ticked. There are just two
weak areas: the phone is triband, rather than quadband, and the inbuilt
memory is limited at just 16 Mbytes (enough for a couple of ringtones
and some photos.) However, you can expand the memory to 4 Gbytes by
adding a microSD memory card.
Despite our initial expectations of this being a rather superficial
kind of phone, we found ourselves liking it very much. However, with
the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that this is not a phone that is
built to last. The metal body and scratch-proof tempered glass screen
should have made it a pretty robust phone despite its superslim design.
However, reading through the user comments below, it's obvious that
the LG KF510 isn't a robust phone, and many didn't even last a year.
Add to this the poor battery performance, and the phone ultimately has
proved to be a disappointment.
Features of the LG KF510 include:
- 3 megapixel camera with autofocus
- Video camera
- Display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 240 x 320 pixels (2.2 inches)
- MP3 player & FM radio
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, email
- Java games
- Wallpaper
- Phonebook (1,000 names)
- Memory: 16 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot (up to 4 Gbytes)
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0
- Internet: WAP 2.0, GPRS, EDGE, Google package
- Vibration alert
- Triband
- Size: 104.5 x 49.5 x 10.9 mm
- Weight: 110g
- Talktime: 4 hours
- Battery standby: 400 hours

the camera is worse quality than that of a 2 meg. sony ericsson, my

first but wait some time. The slide button to turn it off has come off.
The charging usb cover has now come off, and the video camera no longer

I had it replaced and its still bad. Problems include turning off for

dropping.. I sorta threw it in a fit of rage but sure this could be
done by dropping it too) there is a major dent in the side and the touch
pad is no longer working. This means the phone is absolutely useless
unless i call someone off speed dial! Most annoying!

The LG kf510 looks great but there are a few downsides to it. I currently
own one and there is a few things that could make it much better. First
the phone seems to 'restart' every time I go on to the internet, People
can't always contact me and after a while all the messages and missed
calls comes through which is not good at all poor reception from the
phone my other phone has full signal then the LG only has half of that
with the same service company, the battery life sucks not even 10 hours
and i'm not on the phone all the time, after a month the charger fitting
does'nt work anymore so I struggle to charge it and the fitting is poorly
positioned, then for a new age phone MINIMIZE is accential!!!! when
the battery runs low you cant even send a sms or do anything with it,
the speakers quality is not good at all, then there is some good features
like the anti theft which work pretty well. but Its not a good phone
at all.

So I bought this phone when I moved to Europe based entirely on it's
looks and features. I do like the phone, it looks great, it's fun and
it's relatively easy to use. It connects to the BlueTooth in my car
well and for the most part the touch screen has been easy to adapt to.
I've only had the phone 5 months however, and have had it repaired twice
(the first time the screen died and the second time it wouldn't slide
closed anymore-- both covered under warrenty). It also doesn't do things
like save outgoing text messages, which is a small detail but I find
it slightly annoying. I like the phone... but the next time I'll do
more research before just buying anything.

my phones in my pants front pocket, I needed it to be strong. This one
is made of metal, which I love. It's pretty strong and because it's
so thin, nobody notices that it is in my pocket. Lovely lighting, very
serious, modern and definitely it is so stylish when you answer this
phone in public. The touch pad yes, quite confusing at the begining,

then ending the call slide the phone down and it switches itself off.Every
now and then it says switch the phone on after inserting sim card even
though there is already one in.Predictive text is rubbish.Battery life
is woeful.

I GOT THIS PHONE IN AUGUST 2008, NOT QUITE 2 WEEKS THAT I STARTED USING
IT THAT ONE OF THE SENSITIVE TOUCH BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING. AS IF THAT
IS NOT ENOUGH THE SCREEN ALSO WENT FUZZY AND COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING.THE
PHONE ACTUALLY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN BUT THE TOUCH SCREEN IS TOO SENSITIVE.

THIS PHONE IS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING OUT THERE BUT I HAVE FOUND THE
TOUCH SENSITIVE KEY PAD A PAIN! YOU HAVE TO WAIT BETWEEN PRESSING EACH
SELECTION AS OTHERWISE IT QUICKLY SKIPS PAST THINGS AND GOES SOMEWHERE
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IT WOULD BENEFIT FROM HAVING A SEPARTE SELECTION
KEY OPTION.

Phone looks great but the touch pad is rubbish. The phone definitely
has a mind of its own. Upon sliding it up it makes phone calls becuase
it somehow picks up that i have selected the bottom left hand corner
of the touch pad. Extremely annoying.

If, like me, you are the kind of person that uses all the features of
your phone for about a week and then realise that you only really ever
wanted it to be a phone, then the LG 510 is for you! The phone looks
great and the menu system is superb. The camera is good enough for most
occasions, and feels more like a regular camera due to you having to
hold the phone horizontally to take pictures. The on-phone slideshow
feature is a welcome one as who ever really gets round to downloading
their photos? If you want a decent MP3 player buy an iPod, but if you
just want to listen to the odd track here and there then this phone
does a good enough job. For me the best thing about the phone (apart
from the menu system, which really is VERY good) is the battery life.
I have had this phone for about a week now and have yet to recharge
it. On the highest settings ring tone, message alrts and call volume
are all really loud and there are a few included tones that really cut
through background noise. The only downside I would say is that the
touch buttons are a bit too sensitive. If they had just made them super-sleek
buttons it would have been better, I see no reason for touch sensitivity
in this case as it's not like you interact directly with the screen.
Anyway, once you have the menu open you can make selections with the
number pad so there is an alternative. Also the CD that comes with it
could be better, but that's just being picky. All in all, if you like
your phone to be a phone, but with the option of a few gadgets if you
want them and a long battery life then this phone is perfect.

Had the phone for over a week now, lovee it. Battery life is ace, only
charged it for a couple of hours, and i'm quite a heavy user. Didn't
think the music player was all that good, not very loud and music can
be disorted, however it's not bad enough not to get the phone. Touch
screen is ace, wicked to use. This phone is awesome to text on too.
Phone feels great in your hand! lol. I brought a 2gb memory card for
it from the carphonewarehouse for only £12.50 so the memory wasnt a
problem!! Buuuy it!

AMAZING PHONE - A pleasure to use, switched to this from a N95 which
I thought was big, slow and buggy! The KF510 is really easy to use,
the touch sensitive buttons respond really well, and fantastic all rounder
