LG KU250 is cheapest 3G phone

yeah I find it comfortable to use except that the unit is not compatible with Windows XP/Vista… correct me if i’m wrong.

Very good efforts! I might not understand or agree with all the things here, but it really is still seriously significant content material! I quite likely am going to devote the next handful of hours simply leafing through your further blogposts. Thanks at the moment.

اريد تعريف LG KU 250

meron akong lg ku250. my god! lhat ng features n gusto ko nandito n. meron naman syang headset nung bumili ako. perfect ang sound. un nga lang makakabili k lng ng mga accesories sa pasig. actually, nabili ko sya ng sale for 3,500 sa isang cp store. brand new. kaya lng, out of stcok n ngaun. its a java phone kaya naaactivate ung uzzap.com wherein u can chat with friends online. unlimited. ung micro sd, hanggang 2gb. di yan basta nalolowbat. ang video recorder, pangmatagalan, malinaw ang kuha. ang bluetooth, very fast. ang video call, perfect. un nga lang, ala xang fm radio and fm radio recording.
but the bad thing is, nahold up ako. tangay ang lg ku250 ko. i miss my phone so much.

guys! baka may alam kayo kung saan pa pwedeng bumili ng brand new ku250? nasa market pa kaya ang unit na to? i lost mine 2 years ago… tatanga-tanga kasi ako eh…

thanks

However, when i try to sync or even to just go to the “contents” or “contacts” folders, i would get a “failed connection” warning. Is there a way to initialize connection? please advise. thanks in advance! :)

sayang naman yung phone ko! :(

when i was an LG KU250,hay grabe,galing mgbrose sa internet,hai wala nga CD sa package tapos wala parin ang headset,anu na tau ni2,sana mg sale na d2 sa camarines norte ng headset ng LG KU250…ganda ng feature….grabe…………..

how should i know that my 3g cam is functional?
in fact there is no 3g site in our area? pls help naman…

sana lahat merong libreng headset….

hi i have thid lg 3g phone i bought it at globe b. ceneter ok sya maganda mp3 video usb with head set pa and i use i gb of mem card this phone is really cool! kaya lng not all phones are made to be perfect mura cya ang medyo nega nga lang ay ung cam, mahina sa dilim although may night mode d cya ganun ka linaw! pero sa mp3 functionality namn ok kahit anung atang type pwede unlike dun sa moto…anyway good job for LG un nga lang make a break through with the cam ok?

i forgot to add. my friend from malaysia gushed over my phone. ang mura daw tapos 3g?! ang meron siya ay motorola na flip phone. i dont know the unit, pero sabi niya, mas gusto daw niya yung phone ko kaysa sa flip phone niyang panget ang kuha ng pictures.

does anyone have a copy of a the LG PC Suite for KU250? one that is not downloaded from smart. because i bought the phone from globe and they didn’t provide any installer CD.

can i have a copy please. thank you

@ evil_asset: U can also use mp4 format. Works for me. I am using Free Studio Manager I downloaded from tucows.com. It even allows me to download straight from the YouTube website and converts it to mp4. You can also convert it to iPod, iPhone, and PSP readable formats. Heck, I can even extract the soundtrack only from any vid format and save it as mp3!

I just love this phone! My parents, who have more expensive and bulkier units, wants to swap with me. I said hell no! You can keep your darn mobiles.

I especially like the multi-tasking feature! It’s really great! Now I can listen to my mp3s and browse my pics, compose SMS, use my calendar, write memos or surf the web without the music being interrupted or stopped! I tried running all these applications at the same time using the multi-tasking key and it works fine without lagging. When viewing movies, it just automatically pauses the vid when you use the multi-tasking key.

However, on a sour note guys, have you tried changing na ba the SIM of ur KU250? Mine kasi turns itself off every 10 minutes or so when I changed to a new SIM. Pareho namang Globe. When I re-insert the original SIM, it’s ok na. I asked the LG customer service if may update sila sa ganitong bug pero they say they haven’t documented this ‘problem’ yet AND they have no system yet for updates on software/hardware problems. ($ucks big time!)

I just wanna ask if anyone encountered na ba this same problem? And if so, what have you done para di na mag self-off the unit?

I already tried playing mp3s and mp4s set on repeat all tracks and surfing the net but it still turns itself off in the middle of the application. Hell, it even turns itself off in the middle of a charging cycle. It’s really annoying and a hassle especially when I do not want to use my old SIM anymore.

i’m using LG KU250 right now…and so far there is no problem. i love my phone powered by Globe. I love it too because that all are using LG.

@Mary Ann
KU250 has a front camera… look at the upper-right at the front…

@Jason Gonzales
cguro sa tiangge yun… marami sa kanila nagbebenta ng mga units sa mababang price sasabihin nilang brand new pero hindi pala…
nabiktima na friend ko sa ganyan…
pero kung totoo ngang brand new and original models yung mga tinda nila thats good…

just wonder, pwede po pala ang video calling sa LG KU250 kahit wala siyang cam sa front? paano po un?

help naman po….. I bought an lg ku250 last week..I set its gprs,mms,and all the features needed to connect to the internet…. then itried to browse to the web… then i get an error….”CONNECTION FAILED”…. WHAT PO GAWA KO PARA MARESOLVE YUNG PROBLEM NITONG CP KO?….
Pls help po…….

Help me naman… My husband bought me an LG KU250 just last Monday. Pano ba ung Video Calling kasi di po gumagana, laging “Service Unavailable”. Pano po ba?

Looking for KU250 games?
just add my friendster account :D botm****@****.***
see u there…

One negative comment about the phone is its keypad. Mejo may katigasan (malutong) and maingay. Most likely maririnig ka ng katabi mo sa cubicle sa office kung nag te txt ka=).

Another is yung position ng “C”. Pag nag eerase sa text, I always get to press the “-” (key above the “C”) instead of the “C”. Maybe its just me, nasanay sa my old nokia phone.

guys, could u help me out with the video settings of this phone…i transferred some of the clips from my pc but whenever i try to play them, im getting “unsupported file type”…what kind of media player do i have to install? the extensions of the clips are: avi and mpeg…what do i do, help!

thanks much in advance! :)

Talaga po bang pwede ang video call sa LG KU250? Akala ko po kasi wala siyang cam sa front? Pwede po?

eLLoW po!!! My husband plan to buy a LG-KU250 as a gift on my birthday! He told me that it’s a great phone than what i wanted, the nokia N70. It’s cheapest but it has all i wanted. I hope so… Well, im so excited!!!

i had buy this LG ku250 at globe telecom.. its so nice and faster browser kasi HSDPA na sya… like WLAN mas Mabilis itong LG ku250… take note maoopen line mo sya sa P1000 only medyo mahal pero ok lang pero wala me balak ipa open…. also its more fun kasi makakpag send ka ng pics mo using mms sa mga email address mo.. with no assel…. di ba… i had been buy bluethoot headset at compatible sya… try nyo….

I had mine a week ago. fed it with a 2GB microSD from CDRKing–works fine, although merong lag ng 2-3 seconds when opening folders containing lots of files. (in my case-mp3’s and 3gps videos–about 60 of them).
Was able to download a few java games but are old ones. Would you know any sites offering free games that can work with this phone?

Over all-the phone is great for the budget conscious phone freaks.

Im still on a hunt for the headset though.

nga pala, meron na bang pwedeng download na games nito, kong meron san download…………..
salamat

Wow.. so beautifdul!

i love it

my dad likes it

everybody wants it!!

its so cool and cheap at the same time!!

^-^

Also, I don’t wanna go to Manila to buy personally…kahit padala ko na muna Western union yung initial cash outlay? Thanks!

is this better than nokia 6300?
im planning to get one soon.

i like to buy one
thanks to you

hey! where can we find a headset for this phone, ku250? I’ve looked for the headset but not yet available. if you have any idea where can i buy LG accessories please email me exagge_****@****.***.

wow! i just luv the review made by CoffeeMate..i got the phone yesterday and been researching on what the users think of it…so far, i read many positive feedback…the article CoffeeMate wrote is very informative..

just got this phone two days ago..

key features:

1.3 Megapixel Camera
VGA cam in front for Video Calling
Bluetooth
Micro SD slot..(can go up to 2gb)
and many more..
This phone is truly bang for the buck!

too bad though for some users who got this phone earlier..from my lurking..i found out that the headset was not included with the early batch of this phone that was provided to the telcos(globe,smart)you have to get it from LG stores.with regards to the pc suite for this phone.
point your browsers here..
http://www.betterthan3g.com under devices section

” a)3G capable Video Stream And 384kbps DSL speed Internet through pc where unit funtion as a modem. (hope per kb will be affordable)
b)GPRS internet depends on 3G capable area.
If you are likely in the METRO cities.. no probs.
c)Auto detect difference in sms and mms create message
d)Email through wap and PC through IMAP, pop3 and smtp.. (look for Provider recognized email provider, edsamail, mozcom.. etc.)
e)GIF (Animated/Moving) Wallpaper.. (where in nokia is not capable).
f)Music player could categorized by playlist, genre, artist , album etc.. even album pictures automatically if tags is edited in mp3 tag editing software through pc.
could multitask like (WINDOWS) texting while playing mp3/games/editing calendar/whew…
g)tested on 2Gb and 1Gb Kingston MicroSD purchased in CDR king for the price of 1300 i think and 800 for the later.
h)Of course, VIDEO CALL capable should be in 3G cellsite areas. Reciever & Caller should also have a 3g capable phone and in 3g area.
i)Stereo capable speakers.. and when compared to nokia..nahhh.. almost similar to samsung stereo phones.. so clear and load.
j)most of 12k+ and 21k+ pesos nokia features are present in this phone.
k) could function as an extended USB Storage device in PC (similar to flash disk when set on its settings)
l)OS i think is SAVAJe not symbian, could play JAD application or games
m)has a list of cell operators in abroad (almost 400+ i think)
n)great my business card features (buy it to see it)
o)just what others said.. contacts details are amazing
p)PC suite software are fast to load than nokia, very simple but effecient..(nice GUI)
q)screen is 170 X 220 if you want to know wallpaper sizes to download.
r)camera is great when daytime with super fine features.. much detailed pics (wallpaper to pc)
s) Dual cam VGA at front 1.3 MP at back zoom 4 to 8 i think
t)zoomable picture viewer, DETAIL to grid type viewing of pics,and etc.. (many feats.)
u)TRIBAND and wcdma.. for geeks, graph memory manager, battery automatically charge when connected to pc via cable, bundle with warranty/usbcable/manual.

If internet problem probably if not correctly configured it needed sometime and try restarting the phone. If browsing ang problem bka hindi wap site yun kase wap lang available.. you can download opera mini it works well with websites.. i bought this phone sa smart..

ang mga katanungan nyo walang headset! basahin nyo manual.. optional tlga ang headset but new batch of this phone that sells out meron na daw headset kahit nakalagay sa manual na optional.. by august ang sabe nila and ng lg mag lalabas na daw ng accessories ng LG KU250 so wait lang kau…

about the features of the phone… works well with windows 98 and xp havent tried sa vista and it works well you just need to configure it correctly.. parati nako nag iinternet.. download sa limewire, download sa kung saan saan..

about its features wala kong masasabe.. super video call me.. video message at lahat lahat na
im using 1GB and works well hindi lag… and my friend uses 2gb… CDRKING Micro SD works fine din is you ask.. hhhhmm ano pa ba mga tanung d2 aun lang THANX!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! I LOVE THIS PHONE…

Lala, there’s a CD installer that comes with the package. Mine had, but I cant get the 3G to work :(

already bought the phone. right now, nagda-download ako ng pc suit from http://www.smart.com.ph... 2 hrs nako nag-dl nakaka-21% pa lang ako.. grabe..wala na nang headset, alapang cd na kasama sa package?? i think its unfair… although maganda talaga yung features nya..

nakabili ako ng dalawa 6k each.. nabenta ko yung isa ng 7k… hehe astig… ok talaga toh.. d best.. ;p

ok nabasa ko na lahat ng reviews nyo, convince na talaga ako, bibili na talaga ako…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..ng head set

san kaya to pde ipa OPENLINE??? me alam ba kau na mura pa OPENLINE??ty

According to user feedback, the KU250 only has a WAP browser — which the telcos do not tell their subscribers or buyers.

“Yan marahil ang dahilan kung bakit connection failure ang nararanasan ng marami…

But users’ posts on tipidpc revealed that the Opera Mini may be downloaded and used to surf html sites.

Maybe LG, Smart and Globe should make sure that Opera Mini is already installed in the KU250 handsets. Otherwise, they should tell their subscribers to download it themselves.

nkakita nko sa smart wireless center! ang mura nga nya! Php 6,290. and guess what, that phone is the winner for 3GForAll contest in other countries, meaning maganda tlga ang specifications nya. wlang headset na kasama if u buy. it is sold separately.

pag sweldo ko bibili ako. :)

can LG KU250 and its accessories be bought directly from LG pasig?

LG KU250 is sold in ome stores without the device driver. Windows does not recognise this device without the cd. Pl give the driver for downloading.

walang headset for both Globe and Smart…LG in Pasig is located in Brgy. Maybunga…from Ortigas going to Cainta, after C5, turn right at C. Raymundo…then turn left at a drugstore (South something yung name)…LG is on your left…not available in Greenhills so all Ku250’s are locked on their respective networks…not available sa Sun Cellular…battery lasts 5 days ng normal use…

hey. I already have the LG250. IT’S REALLY REALLY NICE.. :D
no need for too expensive 3G phones. This phone has it all. :)

i got my KU250 this monday from Globe and it comes free for a Gplan 800 and up… P 3,xxx cash out for Gplan 500

VGA cam in front and 1.3 mp cam at the rear, great resolutions and lots of settings to choose from…

no headset with the package though sounds are coming out good thru the built-in spkr… no headsets available at SM carpark yet…

bluetooth and USB connections work fine too…

512Mb microSD works best, my friend says, haven’t tried higher mem…

best phone for my money, so far…

how much is the price at Greenhills? openline?
does it come with headset?

How come Globe took the headset out of the package? Is Smart doing the same thing?

I read somewhere that the headset socket is mini-USB, has any KU250 owner been successful in finding headsets in computer shops?

how’s the interface of this phone? what is the maximum sms messages you can save? does it have a hole for placing cellphone straps?

Hi ALL,

This is my first NON-NOKIA Phone.

I bought this phone just this afternoon from a Globe Hub in Galleria w/ 0% Interest for 12 months!!

That’s only P500+ per MONTH!

Aside from the missing headset (2gb SD would be useless w/o it), it’s a very intuitive phone especially I’ve always been a Nokia boy even from the 90’s.

It’s ergonomically slim (unlike 6300 or ultra slim edition which could be a torment when typing long msgs over the keypad)

This is truly featured rich phone for it’s price and SIZE!

Grab your P500 /mo 3G phone TODAY!! :)

http://www.cellphoneitch.com

Smart is offering the same handset for only p6290.

do i know how much is d prize of dis ku250 unit? tnx everyone!!…

hello po! bumili ako ng ku250 kahapon , pero ndi ako maka browse… na activate ko na & na download yung settings tapos may 3g icon nman pero lagi na lang “Cannot Connect”… bakit kaya ?

My sister and I bought this phone today at Globe. It didn’t came with a headset. It has a charger and a USB cable. But no headset. It’s a big frustration since we’re also after the mp3 feature. Been to different telecom shops but we can’t find a headset that fits the socket.

The socket for the headset is the same as their USB cable. The end looks a bit weird. It’s flat like Samsung’s but Samsung’s won’t fit either. It doesn’t work with Vodafone headsets either. We’re looking for a bluetooth headset but nobody can claim that it’s compatible with LG. They haven’t tried it yet.

If you know where to find LG headset accessories, please tell us. [soujirou.okita@gmail[dot]com]

FYI, there are no default games.

For the memory, it has 10mb internal memory. Smart claims that it’s expandable to 2gb and supports FAT system.

just bought lg ku 250 3g phone. please advise appropriate memory card specifications as to capacity, brand, etc. ty

if you go to LG service centers to look for accessories and everything, how much they will charge you? definitely!, it will be expensive!!! that is the problem with this phone…no accessories yet available in the market like sony eric, nokia and moto..

is headset or earphones included in the package????

Abe, when and how can we use 3G phones just like the SIM card-powered HSDPA (Huawei) Globe Vissibility? Zimm

Hi, some iPhone news. You’ll probably get this from gizmodo or engadget first but here they are…

http://www.pmptoday.com/

I mean, iPhone ads and the release date. Now’s probably a good time to discuss, the probable iPhone Philippine carrier. Do you think Smart and Globe are going to engage in a bidding war to the death or maybe to some sort of compromise. Remeber, this is only iPhone 1G. iPhone 2G is probably going to be cheaper.

I want one.

It is cheap. Hope that it will be marketed well because we all know how hooked to Nokia phones Pinoys are. Most of the folks I know haven’t even heard of LG phones yet. ;)

For them, if it’s not a Nokia phone, it’s not a phone.
