LG KC560

This is a fairly standard GSM-only multimedia phone, with a QVGA display, 3 megapixel camera
, FM radio, microSD expandable memory, a multimedia player that supports MP3, MPEG4, Windows Media and AAC variants, plus Bluetooth 2.1 and USB 2.0 connectivity. At a LG KC560 recommended price of around 9000 rubles (approximately €260) the KC560 is more expensive than the better specified KC550. Presumably all that yellow metal styling makes it cost more.

One innovative feature is the control wheel on the right hand side that changes the KC560 between difference profiles depending on your environment. For example, the “club” profile makes the KC560 louder, have more impressive backlighting and stronger vibration. Anyone who has struggled with 6 layers of menu options on some rival phones might appreciate the simplicity.
Markets around the world differ, so you can’t blame LG for coming up with a handset that will be popular in some markets and considered tasteless in others. Russia is a market where the KC560 might do well, and it should be available there during November 2008.
