Chocolate with a funny keypad: the LG KE820

by Chris Ziegler posted Oct 29th 2006 at 5:51PM

What makes the KE820 different from the KG99 we told you about way back in July? We wish we could tell you; apart from a more subtle checkerboard pattern on the keypad and a shiny new model number tacked onto it, we're hard pressed to find any changes. The screen real estate appears to have changed from 220 x 176 to 176 x 144, but we suspect that's a typo. Anyhoo, here we go again: you get a 2-megapixel cam, microSD expansion, 128MB of internal storage, triband GSM with EDGE (you guessed it -- no 850 band), A2DP, and an FM radio. Not bad, if you can get used to the odd keypad layout.

What is it with the hype of 850 mhz band. It is over rated. It is just something marketer want you to think that it is making the phone better. 850 mhz in the phone don't make the phone call sound better or improve on drop calls.

Just not too long since their last released of chocolate phone KG320, LG has launched the successor of the KG320 in Europe. The model KE820 is also a chocolate bar design with a slim body. The 9.9mm thickness of the KE820, is 0.9mm more than the KG320. The phone is definitely a competitor of Samsung SGH-P310, both share the similar design and size.

Scientifically speaking, a lower frequency (such as 850 mhz) is more likely to be able to penetrate walls and improve indoor reception.

My apartment is a perfect example - 1900mhz only phones don't work there very well (usually end up on 850 analog in the case of a CDMA phone, and flat-out don't work on GSM). Yet my 850 phones sound like I'm calling on a landline.
