I want a new phone, preferrably touchscreen, but man i didn't want to buy an iPhone.

]]> <![CDATA[Hands-On LG's KF700: Their Top Touch Phone Actually Pretty Good]]> -The responses are so slow you have to wait after each swipe or click
-The interface looks like Windows 3.1 (and frequently lacks color!)
-Buttons, icons, text, folders, and titles are indistinguishable from one another
-All functions are buried in folders-within-folders

Is the slide out keypad a rotary dial?

I don't want a me-too iPhone, but this thing is weak. That the superior iPhone exists already downgrades it from weak to lame.

And thats because the interface sucks at letting this clear enough for the user.

I know it looks as though it's more of a common sense issue, but you have to admit; the whole interface is a bit too simplistic. There's little to go on to tell things apart. The buttons are just text instead of looking like buttons.

]]> <![CDATA[Hands-On LG's KF700: Their Top Touch Phone Actually Pretty Good]]> That GUI is real slow compared to its competitors. Not only that but what's with the tiny buttons? Are they trying to resurrect the styles for these touch phones like HTC? People with normal sized hands could encounter alot of annoying issues with heavy use, I think LG needs to remember that not everyone in the world is a small Korean person ...I'm just saying. I really want to like these phones their making but they all seem sooo underpowerd to me.

I hate AT&T and I think Apple is prissy, but the iPhone is still better than all of the "me-too's"

]]> <![CDATA[Hands-On LG's KF700: Their Top Touch Phone Actually Pretty Good]]> Jeez, you were pressing Games and Apps like twenty-thousand times.

Haha. Doesn't look half bad.

]]> <![CDATA[Hands-On LG's KF700: Their Top Touch Phone Actually Pretty Good]]> i hate apple and apple fanboys, but i have to admit that the iphone still is probably the best phone out there.

I had a hands-on with the LG Viewty this past weekend which has a similar GUI and i thought it was pretty in person. I like the vibration feedback when you press down on a GUI button.

]]> <![CDATA[Hands-On LG's KF700: Their Top Touch Phone Actually Pretty Good]]> by 'pretty good' you mean unwieldy GUI and mediocre responses, right?
