Features
The KG320 comes with a decent selection of wireless connectivity options, from Bluetooth and USB to triband GSM support. So it shouldn't have any problems autoroaming overseas. There are two built-in games and a Java game CD which allows users to download yet more titles into the phone.

Pressing the button on the right side gives instant access to the multimedia features on the phone comprising the camera, video camera and MP3 player. On the opposite side, you will find the proprietary port, which can be used for music playback on the headphones, for data transfer via the USB or for charging the phone.

We like that LG has included a sliding lens cover for the KG320. Like the Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phones, the sliding cover protects the lens from scratches and dirt, as well as acts as an activation switch for the camera function. Simply slide the lens cover down and you're ready to shoot. The onboard 1.3-megapixel camera takes both stills and videos. The flash light beside the lens does help to illuminate objects at close range, but the mirror piece is just too small for effective self-portrait shots.

The KG320's music player is compatible with most of the common audio file formats including MP3, AAC, AAC+, M4A, WMA. It also comes with onboard support for MPEG-4 video playback. What's missing, though, is an FM tuner.

To accommodate all the images, videos and music files, LG has included a generous 128MB of built-in memory on the phone. While this amount of storage may suffice for everyday users, those hoping to make better use of the multimedia functions on the phone will find the onboard RAM inadequate, with no expansion options to increase the memory.
