Menu, handling
The menu system is based on a working scheme. It has 12 icons in a grid layout, all of them are accessible via a numeric key, while we can change between the menu items by pressing the horizontal control keys, so we don’t have to reenter the main menu – we could have seen this many times before on LG devices. However, KF510’s touchpad is different.

The panel has a backlight in nine spots by default, which are under the following keys: five-way navigation pad, call accept/reject keys, two function keys. There’s no extra about this, but the system works great, firstly because the parts are far enough from each other, while secondly because KF510 gives vibration feedback after every successful keypress – vibration power can be set. The navigation pad, however, cannot be lit only at these spots: there are a number of “stars” (according to LG) on it , which also sense our finger’s motion, and in case of specific events they get lit as a feedback. If for example we save a setting, then a checkmark is drawn in the bottom – this is only design, but it looks really great. Scrolling, however, is much more useful: we just need to stroke the panel vertically or horizontally with our finger. This method works great, as according to stroking speed we can scroll minimum two, maximum four lines/menu items with one scroll. There is quite a large difference between two- and three-line scrolling, but it’s quite hard to scroll four lines at once.
Scrolling was extremely successful during everyday use. I was very comfortable with its use, I was completely satisfied with it. And it even looks cool.
There are three pre-installed themes on the phone, two of these being the same with different color schemes – light blue and orange, but to tell the truth none of these match with the red phone. On the standby screen we can see some basic infos like date, time and signal strength. When pressing the direction keys we can access all kinds of quick menus, like messages, profile changer or the list of favorites created by us.
