What we have here is an Arena meets Cookie handset with a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display and a simple but nice design. The phone's UI is similar to the one we already saw implemented in the LG GD510 Pop. There are various widgets and you have access to social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.
The phone is an EDGE-only device, so you'll be probably missing the 3G connectivity. Fortunately, the LG KM555 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g.The KM555 has pretty good music capabilities, helped by features like a 3.5mm headset jack, Dolby Mobile, Music ID, and FM radio with RDS. The KM555 also provides access to LG Music Club, a website where you can search and download songs -- it looks like there will be more than 1 million tracks there in the near future, although the service might be available only in Russia.
Like the UI, the 3.15 Megapixel camera of LG KM555 is similar to the one found in the GD510 Pop, hence it's nothing special.
Bottom line: the LG KM555 quite nice, and if you're in the market for a simple touchscreen phone, you should check it out.
The LG KM555 is currently available in some South-Asian markets. In Europe, the phone will be probably known as LG KM555e and cost 210 to 230 Eur. Rogers might launch the LG KM555 in Canada, with 3G included.
More hands-on photos of the LG KM555e / KM555 after the break -- or at Mobile-review.
