A good GSM phone for the price,
I travel frequently back to the UK so this phone works great for me. It is quad-band and GSM phone which means it has a removable sim card that I can use a pay as you go sim card when I go back to the UK, and then switch it back while back in the US. Unfortunately your limited to AT&T or T-Mobile in the US as the other carriers don’t use GSM phones, not sure why?. The phone itself which I bought in the UK has an adapter for 110/220v for charging in other countries which is a nice touch from LG (I once fried a US adapter by plugging it into a UK socket, duh!). It comes with a screen protector and the casing feels nice and not too cheap. The touch screen itself is bright and easy to navigate and the inclusion of a stylus that fits in the base of the phone makes it very handy when texting. The phone houses a slot for a micro SD card up to 8gb, which is ample for mp3′s and photo’s or video’s. I don’t like that you have to use the supplied headphones in order to listen to music as they aren’t that good and would have preferred the ability to use third party phones.
Camera quality isn’t that great, but like most phone cameras the quality is grainy, I only use it rarely as I have a good quality digital camera for that. Overall it’s a great little phone that is considerably cheaper and less bulkier than the i phone. And if you need accessories then eBay is the place to go, I picked up a great leather case that fits perfectly, and a car charger. I have had the phone now for 7 months and am pleased with it so far.
Update: I recently flashed the phones firmware to the latest version which is V10n and the phone is so much better.
The touch screen works a lot better than before and the slide bar can now be used without having to press hard.
The firmware install is a little tricky and can only be done on a windows operating system, but is well worth the time as the phone’s performance is so much better. Do a search for KP 500 firmware v10n update.

|Great value phone,
I live outside the US and the phone worked perfectly with Guatemalan Carriers, it is a great value phone has almos every feature built in other smartphones. the only downside is that it doesnt has wifi, but the browser is very good, you can surf every web page, not only mobile sites.
great design not big and bulky like the iphone, its easier to handle when you are speaking.
The only downside is that you need to push a litte hard sometimes in order to move things or activate things, i dont know if it is only my case or thats the way the is. I own it now for three weeks and im loving it, and the touchscreen is getting more responsive over time.
The phone has a lot of features but at least im gonna mention the ones I like the most.
favorite contacts screen
it remembers the number you dial or the ones that call you, so it suggests every time you start dialing.
nice camera
widgets
grat music player
up to 8gb micro sd
Nice phone I highly recommend it.

|Good Phone, NO MMS Function In U.S.,
This is a very nice phone with great features. It has a rubbery feel to it (doesn’t scratch easy) and a beautiful screen. However, if you buy it unlocked for U.S. use, the MMS (picture, mp3 messages) will not work! I was surprised. Everything else works though, even text messages. I talked to AT&T to try to make it work, but after an hour on the phone they said it cannot be done because this unlocked phone is not available in the U.S. Therefore not all features will work. But if you can live without MMS, this phone is awesome.
Pros: Clear and bright screen even in direct sunlight, Build quality, Features, Customizable, Built in stylus, Micro SD slot up to 8Gb
Cons: Camera (no auto focus, no flash), small qwerty keyboard, FM radio cant be played without headset attached.

|Awesome phone, huge upgrade from N95,
I upgraded from a Nokia N95 and couldn’t be happier. Feature-wise, the two phones are almost the same, but the performance of the X6 is vastly improved. Sure it’s not hard to beat an old phone, but this one leaves me wanting for nothing.
Like all top-end Nokia phones, it has great built-in features: GPS, camera/video, music player, FM radio, wifi, 3g.
Apps load very fast, and the native browser loads really quick too. Wifi reception is great, and the GPS locks on within seconds.
The glass touchscreen is very accurate and easy to use; the display is beautiful. The haptic feedback is a little inconsistent or delayed, but it doesn’t distract.
Menu layout is improved too, and once you figure it out, everything is within a tap or two. The Contacts layout on the home screen is hugely useful.
My one complaint is headphone volume is too loud or soft; the controls are not fine enough. That was true on the N95 too.

|a good unlocked phone,
ya we know the symbain system is old, the hardware is outdated. But this phone does its job! mass storage, good sound quality, good call quality, nice camera. It has almost every upgrade needed from 5800, not to mention the new and better screen. Also, the price is reasonable and you are still contract free! This phone will work several years for sure.

|Disappointing,
The Nokia x6 would have been my third Nokia phone over the past several years. I say “would have” because I ended up returning the phone after about a week of use.
At first, the X6 seemed like a winner. 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss name (which indicates good quality), capacitive touch screen, tried-and-true Symbian UI, a decent video recorder (30fps), and a tremendous amount of storage space (16gb) built in. And really, the spec sheet is very good, but in reality the phone comes up short.
First, the camera was absolutely terrible. This was one of the primary reasons that I returned the phone. The phone that I used before ordering the X6 was the Sony Ericsson W995a which had an 8.1MP camera. It was very good. The phone before that one was a Nokia N82 which had a spectacular camera (5MP) that was even better than the W995a (it’s not all about mega pixels I guess). My thought was that since this had the same MP rating as the N82, and that they were both “Carl Zeiss” lenses, and both were Nokias, that they would perform at least similar to one another. I was very wrong. I know that the N82 has a xenon flash, but I’m not even talking about night shots. The X6′s pictures were grainy during the day, un-focused, and had lots of noise. This was the first thing that made me reconsider.
Second, and perhaps the worst thing about the X6, is that the phone is really, really slow. Transitioning between landscape and portrait takes a second or two. Opening a program can take as little as 2 seconds to as much as 5 (like when you’re opening your music folder). This doesn’t seem like a long time, but believe me it is. Perhaps this is because I had 10GB of music on the phone, but isn’t this a music phone? That comes with 16GB storage?? But it wasn’t just the music folder that took time to open. Any program that you clicked on simply took too long to just open and work. I don’t remember the N82 being this slow…
Third, the build quality was quite poor. The plastic battery cover is pried off. It doesn’t have a latch. You literally pull it up with a finger nail and keep pulling until it comes off. The quality of the plastic used (and the whole phone is plastic) is really bad. There is room between the screen and the edges of the phone. It was accumulating dust after just a day after being in my pocket. The buttons at the bottom are in reality just one big button, and you press on either side if you want to end a call, take a call, or in the middle if you want to go back to the main menu–the button drooped on the left side.
That being said, the phone wasn’t all bad. First, the music player was excellent. The sound, with the 3.5mm jack, was truly very good. Even the headphones that came with it were excellent. The software to put your music (and pictures and videos) on the phone is excellent and very user friendly. The capacitive screen was responsive, and the call quality was excellent. It has a proximity sensor that locks the phone when its near your cheek so you don’t inadvertently end a call. Also, the screen was bright and really nice, it came with a few fun games, and it wasn’t too heavy or too light. Just perfect in terms of weight and form factor.
So, to sum it up
THE GOOD
1. Excellent call quality
2. Excellent music quality
3. Bright and beautiful screen; capacitive tech is very responsive.
4. Software bundled with the phone is user friendly.
THE BAD
1. The camera is awful.
2. The build quality is worse.
3. The UI is very slow. The phone drags when you do just about anything.
Sadly, a very slow phone with a very bad camera is not what I was looking for. I wanted a great camera, a fast phone, and an excellent mp3 player. I only got the excellent mp3 player!! I returned this phone and ended up going with a Sony Ericsson Aino. The difference is really unbelievable (but it costs much more too). Hope this helps!!!
