The phone is a slim clamshell, thin enough to be comparable with Sony Z770, although far behind Motorola’s RAZR in this area. The front panel is made from plastic; a transparent layer, and under it another textured one which gives the phone’s face cover a nice reflection effect under light. A downside is the front panel being prone to finger marks – then again, it’s a problem of most modern phones.
The features spec is down-range, though not quite bare-bones basic. It doesn't do fancy 3G multimedia stuff, but has got a 2-megapixel camera, an onboard MP3 player, and an FM radio among its phone essentials. MicroSD card support means you can also carry up to 2GB of tunes around with you.
LG has focused in on 'easy to use' though with this phone's design. It's not the smallest clamshell phone around; measuring 98.8(h) x 49.5(w) x 16.2(d)mm closed, giving it quite a large footprint. Flip open the shell, though, and you see that LG's used the spacious dimensions to make it's buttonry loud and clear - the numberpad keys are big and broad, with number and letter labelling distinctly large.
The LG KF300 is a low-key handset that won't appeal to everyone. It has a decent enough exterior without rewriting the style books, and it has a reasonable if unexciting set of down-range mobile features, including a very serviceable music player. Its main audience, though, will be those who'll appreciate the large numberpad and straightforward accessibility of the under-screen hotkeys in a reasonable looking handset.
LG KF300 price in India is Rs 7999.
