LG has just released a new fashion-orientated phone called the KP320. Is a mid-range phone that comes in with a handful of features that would easily attract users who can’t really afford a too expensive phone.

Measuring 107 x 46 x 13.5 millimeters and weighing only 81 grams, LG KP320 is a candybar phone that comes with a very nice overall look. In terms of network connectivity, the new LG only offers support for tri-band GSM networks (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz), hence no 3G speeds for Web browsing.

Other specs include a 3.2 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash, digital zoom and video recording, a camera that should be able to offer photos at a pretty good quality. Furthermore, LG KP320 comes with a 2 inch TFT display with 262k colors support and a 240 x 320 pixels resolution, TV out, Music and video player (MP3, AAC, AMR, WAV and MPEG-4 supported), FM radio, Bluetooth, USB, Internet and email capabilities, document viewer, speakerphone, 80 MB of internal memory and microSD card support for an extra of up to 4 GB.

Laptop Magazine wrote a pretty nice review on the LG Vu and have given the phone a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5.

They consider it a poor mimacry to the iPhone, the touch screen interface is good and the keyboard needs some amendment, but the product is worth its price. Hence, Yes, it can be a good substitute for those who can not afford a iPhone.

Agreed, that it has features AT&T’s Mobile TV and 3G data speeds, which are unavailable on iPhone, but it does not have a Wi-Fi, visual voicemail or multi-touch gestures. Neither the touchscreen nor multimedia functionality is up to the competitive level.

Look at the Pixilated video and get annoyed. Hey! I have already developed a dislike for this cell phone. I don’t know why. But you can check out the post-mortem of the cell phone performed at Laptop Magazine.
