 A good GSM phone for the price
By D. Smith
I travel oftentimes back to the UK so this phone works outstanding for me. It is quad-band and GSM phone which means it has a removable sim card that I may use a remunerate as you go sim card when I go back to the UK, and then switch it back while back in the US. Unfortunately your fixed to AT&T or T-Mobile in the US as the other carriers don’t use GSM phones, not sure why?. The phone itself which I purchased in the UK has an adapter for 110/220v for charging in other countries which is a nice touch from LG (I once fried a US adapter by plugging it into a UK socket, duh!). It comes with a screen protector and the casing feels nice and not too cheap. The touch screen itself is bright and easy to navigate and the inclusion of a stylus that fits in the base of the phone makes it very handy when texting. The phone houses a slot for a micro SD card up to 8gb, which is ample for mp3′s and photo’s or video’s. I don’t like that you have to use the supplied headphones in order to listen to music as they aren’t that good and would have preferent the capacity to use third party phones.
Camera quality isn’t that great, but like most phone cameras the quality is grainy, I only use it seldom as I have a good quality digital camera for that. Overall it’s a great little phone that is substantially for less and less bulkier than the i phone. And if you need accessaries then eBay is the place to go, I picked up a outstanding leather case that fits perfectly, and a car charger. I have had the phone now for 7 months and am pleased with it so far.
Update: I not long back flashed the phones firmware to the latest version which is V10n and the phone is so much better.
The touch screen works a lot better than before and the slide bar may now be employed without having to press hard.
The firmware install is a little tricky and may only be done on a windows operating system, but is well worth the time as the phone’s performance is so much better. Do a search for KP 500 firmware v10n update.

Great value phone
By Carlos Aguirre
I live outside the US and the phone worked utterly with Guatemalan Carriers, it is a great value phone has almos each feature built in other smartphones. the only downside is that it does not has wifi, but the browser is very good, you may surf each web page, not only mobile sites.
great design not big and bulky like the iphone, it is requiring little effort to handle when you are speaking.
The only downside is that you need to push a litte hard on occasion in order to move things or activate things, i do not know if it is only my case or thats the way the is. I own it now for three weeks and im loving it, and the touchscreen is getting more responsive over time.
The phone has a lot of features but at least im gonna mention the ones I like the most.
favorite contacts screen
it remembers the number you dial or the ones that call you, so it proposes each time you commence dialing.
nice camera
widgets
grat music player
up to 8gb micro sd
Nice phone I highly commend it.

 Good Phone, NO MMS Function In U.S.
By Vadim Dumbrava
This is a very nice phone with outstanding features. It has a rubbery feel to it (doesn’t scratch easy) and a pretty screen. However, if you buy it unlocked for U.S. use, the MMS (picture, mp3 messages) will not work! I was surprised. Everything else works though, even text messages. I talked to AT&T to undertake to make it work, but after an hour on the phone they said it can not be done because this unlocked phone is not available in the U.S. Therefore not all features will work. But if you may live without MMS, this phone is awesome.
Pros: Clear and bright screen even in direct sunlight, Build quality, Features, Customizable, Built in stylus, Micro SD slot up to 8Gb
Cons: Camera (no automati focus, no flash), little qwerty keyboard, FM radio cannot be played without headset attached.
