The LG Venus KF600 is a new concept in touchscreen phones. In fact it's a hybrid phone, using context-sensitive virtual keys in combination with a more conventional numeric keypad that slides out when in use. The official name for this new concept is the InteractPad.
The aim of this dual-display user interface is to give the benefits of context-sensitive virtual controls, whilst avoiding the problems associated with full touchscreen-driven phones such as the LG Viewty. In particular, writing long text messages can be a chore with touchscreen phones. The Venus gets around this problem by giving the user a conventional numeric keypad for entering text and numbers. To access menus, the user presses virtual buttons on the upper touchscreen interface. The virtual buttons change depending on what the user is doing, for example, when using the music player they become buttons such as play, pause, etc. This user interface design works very well, thanks to the attention to detail that LG have put into the design. There are some nice touches, such as the various themes that you can choose. And, if you turn the phone on its side, the screen and buttons turn too, and you can view them in landscape mode. Cool!
The Venus is a well-specified phone, although it sits below the LG Viewty in the LG range. It has a high quality TFT screen with 262,000 colours. The screen is split into two parts - the lower part being the touchscreen - and the overall screen size is pretty huge. The Venus has a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and digital zoom and can also record video.
The Venus has an excellent music player with a loud speaker. Whilst the internal memory of 64 MB is more than many of the Venus' competitors, it isn't enough for storing music. Fortunately the Venus can accept microSD cards up to 8GB, which gives it one of the highest storage capacities currently available.
Connectivity is good, with full Bluetooth support (including support for stereo Bluetooth headsets) and USB too. Battery life is average with 300 hours standby and up to 3 hours talktime.
Overall we rate the Venus very highly, and this is definitely a recommended phone.

- Camera: 3 mega-pixel camera with autofocus and 2x digital zoom

This phone lasted me just over a year and in terms of features was extremely good. My biggest problem was that after only three months it was scratched all over and the paint was badly coming off. You may think that this is de to my own fault and that I didn't look after it properly, but it was more the fact that it damaged extremely easy. I have just bought the lg pop also in black, and so far it is proving even better, and is not damaged at all in any way.

This phone is pretty good. I had the env2 but liked the look of thisnone so me and my sister switched. I've had to go in a few times from just when I had it. My sister got like 3 of them. And I'm on my second. This phone has enough to keep me interested. And it lasts long enough to hold on. But the store gives me new ones for little bugs. I recently have been waking up to it being already on, when I turn it off at night. This phone always gives me suprises, and they're not always the best. Bit I drop it alot, and it might have something to do with the bugs, but it's pretty sturdy. It's overall an okayyy phone

Got this phone refurbished for $100 after tax, with $50 included airtime. Due to the prepaid nature of the non-contract, the 50 bucks didn't go too far. Unsolicited texts started coming in, 5 minutes after activating it. Telus was able to reprogram it, not to accept text messages. Got it on a reasonable rate plan. Same day, touch screen burned out... leaving me unable to add contacts, etc, etc. What a piece of shit. Only had it six days... pretty impressive. Oh yeah, and shit got between the slider and the keypad, resulting in some cool looking scratches. My ancient LG flipphone was 1000x tougher than this piece... but it's battery died, and the venus seemed cheaper than re-activating the old one, and replacing the battery. Live and learn.

I absolutly loved my venus. I had the black one. It was a very reliable and easy to use phone. Cudos to those who developed it. I accidentaly washed mine. It was in one of my pockets and I didnt realise it until the washer had completly filled up with water and soap and began it's cycle. I got it out saw suds and water under the screen thought for sure I had ruined my phone. So I set it on the counter to dry out and see what the damage was. After about a week sitting there my husband had plugged it in charging it and it all of a sudden just came on. Worked just as good as before. So good someone stole it from my house during a party a few months later. Wish I still had that phone, I replaced it with the blackberry storm and we all know what problems it having.

When i first got this phone, i loved it for about a day. Fair enough, it looks okay. But i have the black LG Venus and the paint started to chip away after a week which make's the phone look very ugly. If your sending a text any more than a page long, its so slow! It has also crashed more than a few times. I don't really recommend this phone, so many better ones out on the market for the same price.

I loved the phone when I got it, but like all things new, the honeymoon period was over, as the phone is great depending what network you use. I was on T-Mobile and my signal was not very good in the house, in fact I had to go out side to send and recieve sms & calls. So changed to another network 02, no probs! The only thing that has put me off this phone is that I cannot change the message, as it keeps saying 'You have mail', which I hate and I wanted to put my own message tone, which this phone doesnt let you do. You are stuck with that boring rington for your messages! Apart from that, I think the phone was great, and not alot of people had that style of phone, as I hate to be like the rest of the sheep!

It's too bad this rating system doesn't have 0 stars, because I would use it. My husband has this phone and it constantly drops calls. Also, it will show full signal when closed, and then drop 2-3 signal bars when you open, dial, and send. His phone doesn't ring consistently. I estimate he doesn't get about 1/3 of his calls. I would not recommend this phone to anyone, and if someone told me they wanted one, I would tell them to find something else!

I HATE my LG Venus and I've LOVED my previous LG phones, but the Venus has got to go! I've had it for a year and it's been replaced 4 times. (Using the warranty with the cell phone provider they won't replace it with a different phone)The touch screen doesn't work properly. If I press the button at the bottom left, the button at the top left reads that it was pushed. There is a delay when sliding the phone up to answer a call and when the call is actually connected. Not to mention if you accidentally bump the phone and it closes on you and then you've just hung up on your phone call. I've had several issues with the screen. Sometimes the pictures flip upside-down and backwards. Like and mirror image flipped upside-down and the color distorts. The latest issue is the screen is black; nothing at all. I'm not dropping my phone or getting it wet so I'm at a loss as to why it keeps doing this accept for poor engineering. I would not buy this phone.

The LG KF600, otherwise known as the Venus, is certainly an attractive phone. I opted to buy this one because of its versatility; it’s a two way touch screen, the upper half being (320x240 pixels) and the lower half (240x176 pixels), an impressive size considering the current retail price at £79.97 from Tesco. Sliding up the phone reveals a keypad for those keen on texting; I had read that touch screens weren’t always favourable for heavy texters, but this phone seemed to have the best of both worlds. A modern, stylish looking phone, yet easy and practical to use too. The phone has many admirable features such as the 3 megapixel camera, the loud music player, Bluetooth, Infrared, FM radio, Java games, Voice recorder, Micro SD card slot, WAP enabled. I would say the best feature about this phone, for me personally, is the cosmetics of it. Which doesn’t really say an awful lot for the phone itself. Yes, it does have numerous features, but nothing superior to that of any other bog standard phone nowadays. I have also found a great number of faults with the phone; I’ve noticed sporadically when making calls, the dialling tone wont kick in. Meaning I don’t know when the person has answered the phone, until hearing a bewildered “hello?” down the other end. Worse still, sometimes the ringing of the phone is audible, but when the person does answer, I can’t hear them! These unreliable features are a little disheartening, as I’ve only had the phone for a few months. I’ve also found the camera to be very slow when taking pictures, having to hold the phone still for around 3-4 seconds for the photo to appear on the screen un-blurred. The phone in general is slow…being relatively unresponsive at times and incredibly delayed. The ever dreaded screen freeze also occurs one to two times every month or so…And the battery life of the phone is not too great either; I can fully charge it one day, then by the next day the battery can be down to 1 bar again, meaning im reluctant to use features such as the internet, games or mp3 whilst im out. The standard memory on the phone isn’t fantastic being able to handle only a handful of photos before there is no memory left, although it must be said that there is room for expansion with the SD slots. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this phone to people who are after a quality phone. Too many problems have occurred and given the chance again I would invest in something a bit more reliable for an extra 50 quid or so.

I love this phone. Its the best so far for me. Love the camera, the touch screen, the slider, just amazing! Everyone seems to have troubles with it though. Hope i dont have to deal with them. And the paint on the sides has not chipped at all and i have no scratches either, despite the fact i dont handle it with much care. lol. One problem is that a rare 1 out of 100 texts it does freeze for about 5 seconds but owell!

This phone has given me way too many troubles. I'm now on my third one, within just 9 months due to the top slider coming off the tracks and this one is started to come loose when I slide it up. The chipped paint is also a problem but just one of the many. I dont recieve half my calls and I'd say about 70% of my text messages do not send when I have full bars of service. The touch screen is delayed. As well as the camera and the touch features that go with that. I'm also a huge texter so it wasnt exactly the right choice for me. Verizon refuses to give me a different phone even though the venus has been offically discontinued.

I really do like the phone other then the chrome paint chipping(in the first 3 months or so) which many people have noticed and the fact that is recently started to freeze everytime i try and send a text message. when i press the space button it freezes and then i have to take the battery out everytime to restart. i like to text a lot so it kinda blows when you can't text on a new phone. i have had the phone since june of 2008 and it wasnt until the new year that it started doing this.

This phone is cool for a while, but then all the silver paint starts to chip off. It looks like I've had this phone forever, but it's only been a few months. It was a waste of money. I don't see why anyone should spend decent money on something that's going to fall apart so quickly...yet not fast enough to go back and exchange phones. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS.

I've had this phone for about six months and to be hoenst, absolutely loved it up until recently, since about feburary things have started to go down hill. The chrome paint, as many have mentioned, is chipping majorly, but i could deal with that. also, not through any sort of abuse or misuse, the upper left hand corner of my screen has started to lift away from the rest of the phone. in the past week alone, I have gone from being generally happy with my phone to seriously considering getting a new one. in continually freezes, the touch screen is always behind and just yesterday, it decided that it wasn't going to charge unless I sat there and held it. I've also been having a lot of trouble with texts not sending for some reason, it dying constantly, even though I charged it for the full time when i first got it, the battery has quickly deteriorated, which is something I have noticed with all the LG phones I have, the batteries are great for a couple months, then nex t thing you know, they have to be charged constantly. I think i still do love my phone, if it would just work the way it did a month ago, i loved it then, and hopefully I can get this fixed.

It's a brilliant phone, but there are a couple of problems. If you put in more than about 100 songs on it, there mp3 player takes AAAGES to load, which is really annoying. The battery life isn't great, but nothing terrible bad. Also, i can't seem to figure out how to sort through music by artists, which is probably the worst thing - imagine tring to scroll through hundreds of songs every time just to find the one track. But it really is a beautiful phone, so if you can live with the few problems, then go for it!

alright, i've had the LG venus for about 8 months (got it last june) and overall, i can honestly say it's just okay. the downsides are as follows; within a month of buying the phone, the paint on the sides scratched off, i tried repairing it with nailpolish, but just a heads up, it doesn't help it. second, yes, i've dropped the phone a couple of times. who doesn't? but for the past couple of months the CAMERA on the phone will take atleast a minute to upload, due to me dropping it (i've literally only dropped it on hard ground 4 or less times) and, also, i can't zoom in anymore, reason being (i think anyways) because i've dropped it. thirdly, the touch screen. it's a nice little touch screen, i'm glad it doesn't take up the whole screen, but it does like to spaz from time to time. i'll touch the screen to go to messaging, for example, and it will spaz, take me to messaging, then right back to the home page. this happens quite often. another minor glitch i find in th e LG venus is that a lot of my messages seem to fail. i also find it a disappointment how the message inbox and outbox can only hold 50 messages each; buying the phone i was unaware and i was hoping to have more space for my messages, considering i'm a freak texter. now, i know this isn't the phones fault, but whenever i try to cancel the message to go back to my home page, it tells me the message cannot be canceled, meaning i have to take out the battery each time and restart the phone. ooookay. onnn the upside, the camera (when it does load) takes very good pictures. i'm usually overall impressed with the quality of them; considering it's a phone. i also love the SIZE of the phone. it's not too big, perfect to fit in your jean pockets or your tight sweater pockets (unlike the LG voyager, for example, which is monstrous). the phone gets very good reception when talking on it, also. i've been in the middle of no where and gotten decent reception with the venus. anywho, thats about it for me and my experiences with the phone; but some words of advice..only buy it if you feel lucky enough to get along with it!

Had this phone for a few months now and it is excellent. Easy to use, clear calls and easy texting. Music plays well and the radio is very clear. Camera is not the fastest but I use a real camera for photos anyway. The LG software does not connect using the PC, but the phone itself and the memory card appear as separate drives in Windows Explorer - simply drag and drop. I use software to extract a short piece from my favourite music tracks and use them as custom ringtones. Register at LGs website and you'll have access to ringtones and themes etc. Overall an excellent phone!

At first i thought this phone was great but after a few weeks the novelty of it seriously wore off, my biggest gripe with it was the fact that the battery would go from 1 bar 2 totally dead in the space of about 10 mins. My pc didnt like the format the phone pics were in so when i tried to put pics onto my computer they would show up as tiny slithers. The camera was very delayed so by the time it had finally taken the pic every1 had got bored of waitin n moved so you'd end up with a blurry picture.I also kept having to delete messages all the time beacause of memory even though i had a substantial memory card in it. Thank god i'm rid of it now n subsequently i will be staying clear of LG phones in the future!

after my LG chocolate spin's LCD screen cracked (telus blamed it on me.. even though i was not at fault).. i bough the LG venus... iv had it for about a weeek and i LOVE it..it takes time to get used to the touch screen and the cam is kinda slow but its amazing..hopefully i wont be as disapointed with it as i was with the chocolate spin.. I HIGHLY suggest u dont buy the chocolate spin..(it has no relevance to the venus but yeah..) :)

this phone is great. I got it a while back and it has only had 2 problems. Problem #1. It sometimes freezes and you have to take the battery out then put it back in. Problem #2. Sometimes the data gets lost but when you turn it off and wait a minute then turn it back on your data is back. This only happens when you turn it off then seconds after you turn it back on. Only your songs, videos and images get wiped out. Though this review has been mentioning problems I would highly recommend this Phone. Also the camera cup e better

I would not recommend this phone..The silver paint on the sides chips off very quickly, and now the paint is chipping off the number buttons..The Verizon guy said this is a con about the Venus, but is considered wear and tear and they will not replace it. I now have trouble figuring out what number and letter is what. Very annoying! Also, the battery life could be better, and to change the volume on the side of the phone requires an abnormal force of pressure, and often just won't change..

it broke in half. its a piece of junk. donnnnnt buy it. ive only had it for about a month. all the silver paint chipped off. which is why i got it replaced. but this ones doing the same thing. and its turning off by itself. its very sensitive to any kind of drop. it looks cool. and for the first couple weeks it was good. notice how all of the ratings get lower the longer these people have had them. i totally agree.

I got this fone for my birthday and was not sure what to expect as i had never had an lg ever before.It was a choice between a sony erricson walkman or an lg venus and I am so glad that I chose this. It is a great fone but i would strongly reccomend a memory card it has space for a 2gb memory card which i have and its great! this is a great fone! I would strongly reccomend it!

Iv'e had this phone for about a month now I love the look of it and the interactive pad is amazing. It's frozen a couple of times which is really annoying and when i tried to put songs on it by using the usb plug in it said that my phone wasn't connected. I left it a day and went back and it worked prefectly. But i do love the phone on a whole.

I've had the Venus ever since August, and as everyone says the paint DOES chip off really bad if you don't keep it in the pink case provided. Also, after about three months of having this phone the first time, it broke completely in half! I was in the middle of a text and it the front sprung off! I hadn't done anything crutial to the phone to make it break as it did. Although, ever since I got it replaced I haven't had any major issues with the phone. It isn't an amazing phone but overall I do like it.

Bought this phone a few months ago, and I kind of like it, but the touchscreen suddenly stopped working ??!! And this of course makes it completely unuseful. Some issues for folks with big fingers, the buttons are too small. But all in all I like(d) this phone. Never experienced anything freeze or so. But is really heavy in battery use. great Camera. And ONE THING I DON´T UNDERSTAND. Why is it not possible to choose your won sound for receiving messages. Only 10 stupid standard sounds !!!???

Had this phone for a couple of weeks, wanted to love it but it really is very very poor. Touch screen is good and reliable but thats where the praise stops. The camera is too slow, the texting is rubbish, kept freezing and i just spent all day taking the battery out and putting it back in to resolve any problems it had. Rubbish phone in my opinion and now switched to a Sony Ericsson W760i which is outstanding.

had this phone for around 2 months now. It's not a bad phone, looks nice although the paint chips away so easily and mine's forever getting scratched. I see lots of people had a problem when replying to a text, it only gives multimedia option. I had that too but don't worry, it will only be like this for about a week, then it gives you the 'text' option. It will only let me hold about 2 songs without a memory card but i'll soon be getting a 4GB one and i'm hoping it will work in it, it should do. Overall this phones not too bad, but there are better one's out that come at this ones price range.

Had this phone in purple for a month, I'm on the third handset already! Keeps turning itself off. Memory is terrible without a memory card, menu in the phone is not the most straight forward, very disapointed with the camera. I expected more. The only good things i can say about this phone is the sound quality and the stylish look from the touch screen. Its a pain appart from that! Changing it for a different model tomorrow.

Okay, LG hybrid, why do they bother, LG move on, people don't want confusing phones with a touch screen, the send buttion is in a daft stupid silly place, so you can send msgs wrongly, sorry but it's very poor. Come on LG toss it in the nearist bin and re-try!

I had the phone for about 4 months now and the top lcd screen had mysteriously cracked. I keep it in the pocket of my hoody so it was really weird. The top layer is just a thin layer of plastic so any pressure on it will be sure to crack the screen. Not a recommended phone choice. They want $200 for an upgrade [which is in a few months] or $370 for a new one. I just ended up ordering the LG EnV2 today. They had good reviews for that phone on CNET.
