CNET Asia Review

Good

6

out of 10

View score

The good: Pocketable size with QWERTY keyboard; large numeric keys; range of connectivity features including HSDPA, Bluetooth and GPS.

The bad: Questionable keyboard layout; no Assisted-GPS; no Wi-Fi; audio jack via proprietary port; mediocre camera.

The bottom line: The KT610 has quite a number of things going for it and one of them is its attractive price. However, issues like a questionable keyboard layout and absent Wi-Fi make this LG a little less appealing. Unless you are budget strapped, you should be able to find a better QWERTY handset in the market.

Small enough to carry everywhere

Dec 2, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: small size, easy to carry, easy to use (similar w/ N9300) nice voice, GPS
Cons: no wifi, not enough space for contact data, battery life too short
Opinion:
As a communicator, this KT610 is good comparing to my previous nokia. You can find mostly all the function you need for communicator.
Phonebook data is too simple, there is a lot of missing contact data from my prev one.
Sounds are loud (better than my ipaq) but the pitch is too sharp. Don't choose it if you expect for the sound quality.
Battery life's too short, only for 1 day, not more for the simple use.
You can get nearly all you need in this small gadget

 

A good symbian phone with qwerty keyboard

Oct 14, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: unique old school look, runs symbian s60, excellent numeric keypad, good qwerty keyboard, gps locks really quickly, has A-gps(kinda, they call it XTRA) , stable platform
Cons: 2mp camera, lack of wi-fi, unimpressive battery life
Opinion:
traded my htc touch for this symbian s60 device and not regretting.

overall this phone's a great phone with the old school look opened to reveal the serious stuff inside. great for business users. but not for those who want stylish handsets like razr v8/9.

this phone just needs wifi, a larger camera sensor(maybe at least 3mp?) , a larger capacity battery and it'll be perfect!

 

Interesting....

Jun 6, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Looks affordable yet functional, rating a 6 as i do not know much bout the phone
Cons: People might be put off by it's design
Opinion:
Looks like an affordable qwerty keypad phone. Seemingly big buttons on the external face makes sense for convenient short msging or dialling. Will there be a full review on it ?
