The KF700 isn’t a do-it-all top-end touchscreen smartphone. Ratherit’s a mobile with a good spread of mid-range features, including anadmirable camera, music player and browser, that are implementedthrough a rather user-friendly touchscreen interface.The phone'stouchscreen and slider combo give it a more solid feel than mostmid-range phones, although some users may appreciate the text-tappingcomfort of a regular numberpad.
If you’re keen to check into the touchscreen club at the mid-tier rather than top-end level, this is a good performer.

LG has come up with another touchscreen option toget your fingers working: the LG KF700 sliderphone, which combines atap-to-control UI and dial-spin control with HSDPA 3G high-speedconnectivity.
How many different ways can you package touch technology formobiles? LG seems determined to find the answer, with a flurry ofrecent handsets offering different takes on touchscreen operation.

LG's KF700: enough space for tapping, scrolling and swiping

While its KF600debuted a two-screen approach, the KF700 has three input methods: alarge touchscreen, a slide-out number pad and a spin-to-scrollthumbwheel on the side of the phone.
The touchscreen control system is similar to that employed on the successful LG Viewty, although this device is a slightly smaller, with a short feature run-down than LG’s flagship touchscreen phone.
Are three input methods strictly necessary? LG reckons that it’s setup the KF700 so each of the three takes care of business in a way thatbest suits the input style. The 3in, 240 x 480, 262,000-colour displayis obviously the most important part of the user interface. It providesplenty of room to view images and video content, frame shots for theKF700's three-megapixel camera, and browse web pages in landscape mode.It gives enough finger space for tapping, scrolling and swiping yourway through the menu system.
The slider design gives the KF700 the girth of a sturdy candybarphone, measuring in all 102 x 51 x14.5mm and weighing 107g. Slipping upthe screen, the number pad beneath has a conventional layout withwell-sized number keys on a flush surface plus call, end and clearbuttons.


The Shortcut Dial 'quick' menu

We experienced no problems with KF700's sound quality when making ortaking calls – everything was top notch. Although there’s the slidernumber pad, you can use a virtual touch numeric pad if you want tomaintain total touchscreen control.
