KTFT-EV-K100, 7.9mm thin candybar handset

Mar 20 2006 - 03:14 PM ET | LG Mobile Phone, Staff Picks

KTFT EV-K100 While it's not headed stateside, the KTFT EV-K100 is still worth a look for its extremely thin figure--just 7.9mm thick. It almost makes the Motorola RAZR V3 (14mm) clunky. To put the numbers in perspective, 7.9mm is almost exactly 1mm thicker than the iPod nano.

The South Korean handset manages to pack in a decent feature set for its size:

  • 1.3 megapixel camera
  • MP3 player
  • 1.8" screen
  • 165MB memory
  • Weight of just 60g

LG just announced a planned acquisition KTFT, so it's possible the engineering behind this handset will be able to have an effect on some more mainstream phones.

Wow I really hope they bring out something like that in the US. It could take out the RAZR. If it's really as thin as the nano that is incredible.

Thin is definitely the name of the game right now, so I imagine we'll see some more competition to the RAZR soon. That gravy train for Moto has lasted an enternity in the mobile world.

Looks awesome! I wonder what the keys feel like though, I doubt they have much give.


Drew Mar 20 2006

Like everyone else I love the look of this thing. Can't wait until we have something like this in the US!

this is a great phone, im even buying one next we, and i didnt even realise it was in v for vendetta, im stationed in korea so i get to look at the best phones made in the world.i went out looking for something cheap, and found this only 210,000 won, which in us money is 210 bucks. great design, great menus, and the buttons are fine, first time holding it, it felt like a piece of paper, production of this phone in us doubt it, they say that about a lot of coll new korean phones, but can it be converted to be used in US probably, cause a lot of korean phones can be, ur best bet, order one online check ebay or something, but lucky for me i live in korea :)
