We like:
Keith Haring themes; contextual menu; sliding mechanism feels smooth
We don't like:
The touchscreen can be awkward to use at times
CNET.co.uk judgement:
It seems like everyone is trying to figure out innovative ways to implement touchscreens and the LG KF600 is definitely an interesting concept. Wherever you go in the phone, the navigation pad changes the keys it displays to suit your needs better. But we don't think it works as smoothly as it could and at times we found it clunky. We're definitely interested in seeing where LG takes this concept but we don't think they've got it right just yet
