The LG KF600 (or Venus as it’s sometimes known) has various features that could be considered as innovative. With the touchscreen fad that is currently gripping the industry in the wake of the iPhone, to come out with a mobile phone that seems to go back to the future is a bold statement. But with the KF600, LG have made some interesting design choices. On the face of it, the LG KF600 is yet another slide phone. The slide mechanism itself feels sturdy and the handset is surprisingly clunky. But move past the surface and you’ll see where the LG KF600 gets interesting.
Although the TFT screen with touch sensitive navigation buttons is a combination we have seen from LG before, the LG KF600 features some genuine innovations on this theme. For starters the navigation keys are virtual context sensitive keys. This sounds like techno babble but what it means is that the function of the virtual keys changes according to what you are trying to do at that time. Thankfully, LG have come up with a better term for this feature on the KF600 and they have called it an ‘InteractPad’.
In real terms, this makes the LG KF600 a sort of weird hybrid between a touchscreen and a normal slide mobile phone. It is an innovative idea as people are still wary of touchscreens when it comes to tasks such as texting or entering information. With the KF600, LG have managed to find a compromise between the two which is good news for users.
With all the innovation going on it’s lucky that LG have not held back on features on technological features for the KF600. As the display on the KF600 is split in two the top main display is a 262000 TFT with 320 x 240 resolution and the touchscreen part weighs in with a 240 x 176 resolution. This puts the KF600 in iPhone territory in terms of screen size. The 3 megapixel camera on the KF600 also packs more visual punch than Apple’s offering and it can record video. The music player on the KF600 works well and thanks to the microSD card slot you can expand the memory to 8 GB. There is also 25MB of internal memory but this will fill up pretty quickly.
There is much to celebrate on the LG KF600. The innovative user interface and reasonable technological features will ensure that it wins plenty of hearts. It has its drawbacks; the lack of 3G compatibility is a surprise given the recent trend in handsets is to be HSDPA compatible. But the KF600 will suit almost everybody. |
