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

Photo Format (1280 x 960), (640 x 480), (320 x 240)

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

I’ve lost my cd driver + pc suite software for LG Ku380. Can you upload it somewhere in the net for me? Thanks in advance.
My email address: arie.wd@gmail.com

Posted by Arie at April 19, 2008, 4:10 pm

is there any website where i can download the software needed for my LG KU380 phone? I can’t download anything because the system can’t recognize my hardware since it doesn’t have the necessary software. Please email me at viniel.adoptante@gmail.com. Thanks!

Posted by viniel at June 15, 2008, 12:57 am

guys, i know you wanted the drivers.. unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, i’m afraid that i am not able to upload this drivers for you.. LG’s gonna sue my ass! :P

in any case, contact LG for it! :D this is the direct link where you may request for the CD..

Posted by beingmytechieself at June 15, 2008, 5:13 pm

um, wala pong flash itong fone. :)
i’ve bought this fone since feb 2008 and so far, i really loved it…… girls are a bit pique about itz features and of course, its appearance. :)

hmm….so far, v10a is the latest firmware (according from offical LG service center at wellcom, Rob. Gale)

Posted by coolsurf at June 25, 2008, 10:06 pm

hi techieself, how much is this unit from globe… Can I use this phone as my modem for my laptop? thank you

Hi! Would you know how much this phone costs now and where to buy it cheaper but sure distributor in QC area? thanks! it would be very much appreciated.^^

Posted by Ninz at November 22, 2008, 9:43 pm

hey! where can i find the flash? i tried to look at it but then i really can’t find it. And does anybody knows why are the songs in mp3 sometimes when you play it, it won’t finish? it’s like cut off in the middle of playing it.

Posted by Haruka at December 5, 2008, 9:37 pm

karylleanne: The LG PC Suite works fine. I didn’t need to enter Country or Network Provider. Call type is 3G-PS, Profile Globe (this is an identifier for the LG PC Suite), APN is http.globe.com.ph, Call Number is *99*00001#. At least, those are the settings that worked for me. If you’re on Smart, you’ll of course have to change the APN but I think the number should still be OK.

Posted by silverlokk at December 30, 2008, 11:05 am

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am using LG KU380 it’s working fine……now i want to connect it with my laptop, but the driver is not support with my laptop (Windows Vista)

Thanks and Regards

Hello! Thank you for this review. I’m thinking of buying one to replace my stolen phone. One thing, though, kumusta naman ang keypad? Is it soft/comfortable enough to allow frequent texting?

Posted by Ara at September 4, 2009, 3:29 pm

Hi Ara! So far, my sister has no problems with the keypad on this phone. One thing about it though is that since it’s more or less made probably with silicon-like material, it yellows with age.

Posted by beingmytechieself at September 4, 2009, 5:54 pm

how do i download themes for this phone? it sooooo boring to look at kung walang theme…

Posted by xincentz at January 31, 2010, 2:57 pm

I have a KU380 and i love it :) It gets chipped easily though, and now that I’ve had it for about two years it’s a bit slow and unresponsive. I got it in a cellphone store in Megamall for 4,600. Ang mura pala ngayon, it’s only around 3,000 I think :D

the 3G is slow for me and i hate that it’s not wi-fi compatible, though :(

Oh, my girlfriend is South Korean and her dad is in Seoul. And you are right, the city is dangerously close to the border and vulnerable to both artillery and nukes. I agree that the stakes are too high. Besides, in the event of war, NK will surely disintegrate and SK can barely afford unification (SK economy, after it collapsed in 1997, is very fragile at this point).
