The LG KM500 Mobile is the first music phone of the company and the first product from their new (M)line. According to LG, the KM500 Cell Phone is supposed to possess superior sound quality and stand out from other similar devices.The LG KM500 Mobile Phone has a 2-inch TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels resolution, microSD card slot, GPRS/EDGE connection, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and a 2-megapixel camera.
LG KM500 features the basic ( slider ) design and strongly resembles the Chocolate series. Average in size (101.5 x 48 x 15 mm), but strangely excessively heavy (155 grams, including battery), the slider doesn't stand out from the crowd. Still, the materials used are by no means cheap, but neither too expensive, which is no wonder, as the phone is only middle class. I got a feeling that the South-Korean company could have done much better with the design, which is among the important traits for an LG device. Anyway, the phone has an average ergonomics, with a sliding mechanism that works with a little bit of difficulty. If it's not too slim, at least it's solid, compact and pretty sturdy.
The LG KM500 Phone is a tri-band mid level music oriented slider with dedicated player buttons around the D-pad. LG touts it for the new ‘Slim player’ (that is its name) music player and the music recognition systems.
