has anyone heard of LG KC550

[johnson_j16]

hello guys,
My dad returned from dubai last night for his annual vacation. My sister asked for a new mobile phone as her LG KG300 was more than two years old and it was on its last days. So he bought a new model of LG namely LG KC550.

Its a 5 Megapixel cam
4 gb memory capacity (micro-sd)
Slider Phone
TV out
A2DP Enabled
etc
So i am looking for some comments from fellow tech-heads to give their opinion about the phone

CHEERS:hap2:

LG KC550 - Full phone specifications

Ok ..phone

The LG KC550 is without a doubt a nice performer with balanced functionality. It's not an all-round multimedia device and it's not meant to be one. The LG KC550 is a no-thrills, all-camera handset that does the job it's made for and it does it well. The sunlight legibility and the awkward file manager are not deal-breakers and being the soft spot of most LG handsets, they don't seem to hurt LG global sales that much.

We really liked the 5 megapixel camera performance and if it weren't for the disappointing video recording and the unassuming looks, the LG KC550 would have made it as a top-of-its-class package.

For a price tag of around 220 euro (360 US dollars), image quality doesn't get much better than that. The snappy performance and the accelerometer functionality (both in multimedia and gaming) also seem to add value.

But unfortunately for LG, last year's 5 megapixel cameraphones are now coming of age and with prices dropping down, these once high-end devices pack some great value for your hard-earned cash. And unless we see a more capable retail version of the KC550 (mostly in the video recording department) or a heavy price reconsideration, we have no other option but to advise you to look elsewhere for your next cameraphone. Currently, the Sony Ericsson K850 Cyber-shot seems as the most viable buying choice in this price range.
