Playback music & videos

Naturally the LG KF600 allows you to play various audio and video formats. The included headset comes in handy here. The headset consists of two separate parts as is quite common these days. It enables you to connect your own headset since the second part offers a common headset connection.

Listening music

Whilst playing music files you will see a timeline on the touchscreen. One simple move on this line lets you play the song forward. This is very easy because the time tells you where you stopped in the song, preventing you from ending up in the next song which frequently happens with other mobile phones. A definite plus for the LG KF600 compared to other phones is the fact that you will hear the next song instantly without having to load, even from the external memory.

Watching videos

When you play video files you will notice the same timeline. There are also some options available on the screen which allow you to, for example, swap to full screen by pressing the button once. No more searching within the setting possibilities, but instead: direct access and knowledge on how to switch between these modes.

Right after purchasing the LG KF600 you will encounter a small problem; the internal memory only offers 25MB. The internal memory is insufficiently large to store all your favourite songs and pictures. With some 20 pictures the internal memory is already completely full. That is why I'd advise you to enhance the memory with a microSD or microSDHC memory card. The LG KF600 supports these types of memory cards up to 4GB.

The memory card is hidden underneath the battery in the LG KF600. This is rather annoying due to the fact you have to deactivate your mobile phone when you want to read out the card separately. A 3.7V, 800mAh Lithium Ion battery comes standard with the LG KF600. According to LG's specifications it should last for some 300 hours standby time and a talk-time of 3 hours. I wasn't disappointed at all when using the LG KF600. I used the phone for at least 48 hours on a fully charged battery.

LG include a small CD with software with the LG KF600. The LG Mobile Sync software found on it, enables synchronizing all media formats with the phone or to archive messages. Of course it also allows you to manage the agenda through the computer.
