LG KC550 review

Is a five megapixel cameraphone always a good bet?

Our Score 3.5

Last reviewed: 2008-08-06August 6th 2008

The classy impression of this phone soon dissipates as it feels a bit cheap, with its creaky plastic casing

The KC550's camera is a practical affair, up and running from a standing start in less than three seconds
