LG KG220 Phone Review
The phone comes with an internal colour screen which provides up to 65,000 colours on a CSTN type screen. The user can view colourful wallpapers & screensavers on the high resolution colour screen when the handset is in its opened position. The screen works as a viewfinder for the camera feature & the screen provides a screen resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. The KG220 comes with a photo caller identification feature which allows the user to create a personal feel to their mobile phone. The photo caller identification feature allows the user to use a photo or image as the callers ID, so therefore when a caller calls a photo will be displayed instead of just a name or caller number.



The LG KG220 comes with tri band technology which works over GSM 900, GSM 1800 & GSM 1900 which allows the user to use their mobile phone over several countries depending on the network operator. The phone comes with a built in WAP browser which is WAP 2.0 & provides the user with access to Internet based information & services which include games, ringtones & news information. The battery provides approximately two hundred hours worth of standby time from a fully charged battery.
The user can have fun playing the pre loaded Java™ games on their LG mobile phone. The built in Java™ technology is a programming language that allows mobile phone developers to create exciting games & applications for mobile handsets. The KG220 comes with the ability to play polyphonic ringtones with forty voices which allows the user to choose a polyphonic ringtone to suit their taste.
The KG220 comes with simple to use message services which include MMS multimedia messages, SMS text messages, EMS enhanced messages & an email service. The MMS service allows images & sound to be sent with text to other compatible mobile phones. The user can send a photo to a MMS compatible mobile phone immediately after taking the photo on their LG KG220. The email service allows the user to send & receive emails when they are on the move.

Had this phone 3 months & it has died. Battery was always running down. Then one day found I can't turn it on at all. What a dud. Can't return it for repair as it was a gift & not able to obtain a receipt.

I've had the KG220 for well over 12 months now with trouble free service until now. But since Xmas, I can't change the time, it lets me in to the screen but it doesn't keep my changes. The alarm clock function doesn't work either. I've got a feeling these are connected somehow. Then today, the battery ran out & turned itself off (nothing surprising I hear you say), but at some point later it became incredibly hot, & now there's a little circular witness mark just above the menu button where the casing has deformed under the heat. It seems alright now but time to get a new phone me thinks. Other user's, beware, if any of the functions stop working, be prepared for a little warm glow in your trouser pocket!

THIS phone is rubbish! I have had it for over a year & the only reason I don't have a new phone is because my dad won't buy me one! But I am getting another this weekend
Pros - It's great for kids, holds 900 pictures, pink colour is cute.
Cons - No Bluetooth, bad camera, no speaker, address book is weird, only holds 150 text messages, menu is creepy, can't use MP3 ringtones, it's so ugly!
TO ME ITS rubbish, trust me. Don't buy it & waste your cash.

I was looking for the cheapest tri-band clam shell phone & I am glad I found this phone. I wish they would improve the battery life. Apart from that, this is a great phone.
Reviewer: Chris - UK

Design-wise, it's a very good. The KG220 is nice, light & compact. Its rounded nature means it hasn't got any corners that insist on stabbing you in the flesh.
unfortunately horrible, no matter where I went it was minimal reception or no reception at all. People more often than not, gave up calling me.
I now use a Sony Ericsson phone. It's much better.

This phone is the BEST! I am in love with it!
Reviewer: Jane - Australia

The design is FANTASTIC! But I was disappointed about the features of this phone. I would recommend this phone if:
- You cared more about the design than technology.
- You like simple easy-to-handle phones with basic features so it's not so complicated & hard to use.
I wouldn't recommend it if:
- You wanted lots of technology like Bluetooth & good camera technology.
- If you wanted to have a PC link to export your photos.
In my opinion, I would choose this phone! I mean, these days, nobody really cares too much about technology do they? Instead of getting a phone PACKED with technology, choose this phone with simple tech! The design is easy for anyone to handle so why not? Thanks.

Great for a starter phone but it is lacking in features. No PC cable is supplied & the keys are small.

THIS IS the BEST PHONE EVER, I L.O.V.E THIS PHONE.

The LG KG220 has a great design, but is let down by its features.
Reviewer: Ehly - Philippines

I currently have this phone I think it's awesome but I prefer Nokia or Sony Ericsson phones.
Reviewer: Elle - London, UK

I have recently upgraded from my kg220 to an LG chocolate because I was very happy with LG. This is a good phone, no doubting that. It's a simple, basic, entry-level phone. Obviously it doesn't compare to a lot of more expensive, more feature-packed phones on the market but for the money this phone is very good value. So if you want a basic entry-level camera phone with some good games I would recommend this phone.
Reviewer: Darcy - Australia

I think this phone is OK, I think it is a guys or girls phone it is good because it is small but bad as it doesn't have Bluetooth, you can't put your photos on the computer & the graphics are very poor. Good for 100$ & a first phone. I would recommend it if you want a good small cheap phone.
Reviewer: Lee - UK

I think the KG220 is one of the best phones going.
Reviewer: Henny - Perth, Australia

I bought my little phone last week it's pink & I love it never had a phone with a camera before it doesn't do all I want but that's OK it's small & compact & that's what I was after & everyone tells me how cute it is no Bluetooth but I can live without that I am so glad I got it signed, henny.
Reviewer: Maddy - Melbourne, Australia

I just got this phone yesterday, I like it but it is really bad that is doesn't have Bluetooth! This phone doesn't have any good ring tones & I can't get any from my friends because it doesn't have Bluetooth! I also find that the buttons are kinda small at the top & I keep pressing the wrong buttons because my thumb press 2 buttons. But it looks cool & it's a flip phone which is cool.

I got this with line, the design is very good slim & sleek & very handy as it is very light.
Reviewer: Ricardo - France

Very good phone for people that don't like complicated phones.
BAD:
Graphics is not very good
No Bluetooth is very bad point for these phone
No PC cable link
GOOD:
Battery life 4 days +
Design very feminine
Super sleek & comfortable on contact
Good ring tones sound
If you are looking for this phone to offer to a woman, I recommend. I got one to my wife, & she is very happy with it.
Reviewer: Chance - Australia

This phone has good looks, but the screen is really small & the camera is basically just for show as the pictures are terrible. But still, for its AU $99 price tag, its decent value for an easy to use starter phone.
Reviewer: Tyson - Australia
Date: 21st Dec 2006
Great phone to buy for only $100. My mum has the pink one it is great, the bad thing about it is when you buy the phone you will have to turn down the contrast. Handy & compact camera phone, buy it.
