Mobile Review: LG KU380

February 8, 2008

 I recently got my sister a postpaid plan from Globe. She opted for the LG KU380 which Globe was offering under PLAN 800. It took I believe a week for the phone to arrive since they don’t have any stocks available at the Globe Center at Ali Mall. I was already in Iloilo when they called me up to get the unit, so I had Deedee get it for me instead.

What’s included in the box when I got it:

  • LG KU380 unit

  • Headset

  • Charger

  • USB cable

  • Software CD

  • Manuals

  • Warranty Card

Looks good, lightweight but my roomie said that it looks like a toy. It must be because of the colors. But hey, I like white. The camera leaves much to be desired though. It really doesn’t take pictures well indoors. Even if you switch it to flash or night mode. Interface is good, you can easily navigate through the keys and menu options.

For a cheap 3G phone, pwede na. :D
