KF350’s main technical features are straightforward and somewhat unexciting. This is a tri-band GSM phone with a fixed focus 3 megapixel camera, a 2.2″ 240 x 320 pixel display, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, microSD expandable memory, a multimedia player and an FM radio.
However, if you look closely at the KF350 you can see a semi-translucent cover that conceals a 5 x 23 pixel LED display that can do a variety of things, including showing the time or displaying incoming numbers. We have seen this on a few phones before, but it is still quite uncommon and it is a rather nice feature. The case itself is available in a pale blue or pale pink colour, and we must say that it does look rather attractive and quite unusual.
At 101 x 51 x 15mm and 102 grams, the LG KF350 is a little on the large size.. you would probably expect it to be a 3G phone, but it isn’t. The large size is used to create a well-spa, At present, the only confirmed availability of the LG KF350 is in Russia, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan where it should retail SIM-free for about 7600 roubles (around €220), but hopefully it will be available in other markets too. We have seen a steady stream of very high-end touchscreen phones LG KF350 from LG recently, so the LG KF350 is a bit of a refreshing change. At first glance, the KF350 is a conventional looking clamshell phone with a squared-off look that looks a little like the attractive Japanese-style phones that Panasonic were making a few years ago.
