LG KF300 user reviews

GM 7 May 2009

Good: Large keys, adjustable font, loud ring tones, size. Most of the phone

Bad: Rubbish battery life. Not so good as previous Nokia at picking up signal

Comment: This phone mostly does what it says on the box. As you reviewer says, it is suitable for older generation - thats me!! I like the large keys, large font size which allow me to send text to my kids almost as quick as them. However, some of the keys do not react quickly enough. I am on the second LG, as the first one lost the use of some of its keys. Will be interested to see if this one does. I do not care about the camera, one reason I bought it, nor the MP3, radio, video and other such rubbish. I bought the LG for what it is - a phone. Battery life is disappointing, but having switched off some of the noises, that has improved a little. I have already had a new battery from Orange, which has also improved it a little. It often drops a signal, but since I live in a house with thick walls, that can't be helped. However, my previous phone, a 20 quid Nokia, got a signal all over the house! I am quite hard on phones, often dropping them and getting water on them - so far, the LG has proved quite tough. I lke the flip lid, which prevents the screen getting scratched, and, contrary to your reviewer, I quite like the look, although that is way down on my list of needs for a phone. It is also very handy being able to read and send texts and use the phone a: without donning my glasses and b: in all light conditions, something the Nokia was completely useless at.
So all in all, it more or less does the trick. Certainly I could not find anything else near it that covered my needs.
