the phone is really good for the tag price it comes with. it could compete directly with even some high-end phones. the cons though is the music player, which is a bit wanting on the low frequency even after trying all the preset equalizer settings. they should have included a bass boost functionality. another thing would be the lack of at least a led flash for the camera. the camera does take good pictures, but it's useless under poor light conditions. also, there is the overall feel of the phone itself-- it feels very much like the remote control of my dvd player. well, for its price, how could you want more? i love the phone and it is the one i now use most of the time, taking the spotlight out of my motorola v3xx and e770.

for those who are saying that the LG PC suite from SMART website cant be installed or not compatible to Windows XP, it's not true coz I was able to download it from SMART, installed it and worked properly to my Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine at home.

its confirmed. the unit now includes the headset for smart & globe if you buy it now. =(
i think they should give the headset to those who have already purchase the unit.
what if we all call our providers and tell them to give us the headset as well!!!

Again, thi sunit does not have Bluetooth A2DProfile that is why you cannot listen to music on the bluetooth headset (only voice calls).
So better request LG if they will release a firmware upgrade to support A2DP (provided the HW in the unit is A2DP ready)

the phone is very good! It was even magnified because of the very affordable price! theres no other phone packed with awsome features & wrapped with a very low price! We are paying less for much!

If they put another feature in it, then this would not be cheap.

Bing,
I thought it was my problem too with regards to the socket while charging. You just need to push harder, 2 to 3 mm more. This is also applicable with the cable to PC. Hope this helps.

I don't think na may kasama talagang headset. If you can read the last part ng manual discussing about the accessories, it says there that headset is NOT really included with the package. It's unfair to other first-time KU250 users that doesn't have the headset included in the package.

I think inclusion of PC installer and headset depends on the plan. I applied for post paid plan at Globe and both are included in the package. :-) I'm not sure about the extension plan or pre-paid kit. In any gadget purchase, I think one should ask someone in the know so as not to be shortchanged. Anyone knows where I can buy cheap 2GB sd for this phone?

Hi guys! LG KU250 is a great phone but i experienced just one small flaw in it. Its a little difficult using the phone while charging because the charger socket is easily detached from the phone's charger port in slight movements, & i guess that it would be the same problem with the using of the headset too since it uses the same port. So for those who are already ordering a headset, just prepare yourself for what you would encounter hehe.. bluetooth headset is much advisable.
So far, the other sides are great!
Loud speaker is truly loud!
MP3 sound is very good with titles, artist, albums, & with many other personalized options. You can even minimize it (playing mp3 while texting). Mp3's can be used as ringtones & msg alert but only it is shortened in msg alert.
Display is very good! Clear & soothing to the eyes. You can have a wallpaper or a screensaver on a standby mode, not like nokias & other wellknown phones. You can also adjust the size of a received picture to a fullscreen wallpaper display. Standby display items are changable & removebable.
Camera is very good for a 1.3 megapix especially the front cam - you can zoom, adjust size & brightness & others.. just press the option & scroll to right or left then up & down. You can even record a video in it just like the back cam which beats many expensive dual cam phones!
Very user friendly! Not much scrolling to do, just press numbers which lessens the wear & tear of the navigation key.
Phonebook detail is very good! Its so easy to see the other number or details of a friend. You can even make a personalized cartoon image for them or simply use their picture that would appear slidely upon scrolling to their name.
It alarms every hour even if the phone is off.
Battery life is just an average. About 3 days- normal use.
Charging time- 2hrs 30mins if batt is deep drained.
SD cards- 2GB, no problem at all.
Games- not many are compatible yet, only a few.
Internet browsing & surfing is fast.
You can set it to alert repeatedly in a selected number of mins if a message is not opened.
You can set a picture of a friend, a wallpaper or a screensaver to appear when making a call.
You can also set a video to play for incoming calls.
You can change the text color & background color when making MMS.
You can change the font size & color of a dialled number.
You can select a picture & a sound to appear upon turning off & turning on.
For those who are in a poor 3G signal location, just change your network mode to GSM, just go to network settings. You will have a difficulty in sending & receiving msgs & difficulty in making & receiving calls if you dont.
Some of the above are not found in the owner's manual so you better explore your own. By the way, if you are looking for the manual keypad locking, just long press the C button.
I have owned many phones- 5 nokias, 2 seimens, 1 sony e., 1 samsung, 1 LG & have experienced the use of many other phone models & i found LG KU250 to be the best of them all in each of its own time especially when talking about the price. I would not even swap mine with a brandnew N73 hehehe! bottom line is that it all depends on what you are looking for in a phone & the type of your personality.
I hope this helps for anyone out there.
