The LG KS20 borrows deeply from LG’s desire to make hot devices for the young, urban crowd. Unfortunately, too much of a good things kill as the proverb goes, and the chrome down the sides of a shiny black exterior may be viewed as garish or tasteful- depending of course on your aesthetic sense. While the device fits the hand well, it also has a couple of glaring ergonomic issues. For one, the joy-stick’s a total pain to use, and navigation is irritating. Although based on Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro means application support will be very good , the LG KS20 seems to be more of a lifestyle device than a serious PDA as both number and QWERTY keypads are absent.This is also means that the device is quite compact and lightweight, despite retaining a screen size of 2.8 inches.

The camera and music performance was about par, although it takes more to impress. Once again a nifty add-on by LG is the ability for this phone to play Divx videos like KU990. It is also one of the new PDA phones to support FM radio. The LG KS20 is a stylish device to be sure, but there are better cellphones available at the same price point, which leaves KS20 out in the cold.
