Good evening, fellow readers~♫! \<´v`>/

This is Ms.Aya who received her ice-cream phone earlier than expected! <OAO>

In fact, right after I posted the previous entry, Zitron beeped me and told me to collect my phone immediately before they close for the long holidays. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait until the end of Chinese New Year which is next week. <_  _>lll

So those of you who have been following my updates on the LG KF350 phone — everything seems to be fine, period. Though I noticed that there are some scratches on my screen. (Tears) <;__;>

That night itself — Sheep begun decorating her phone with her newly arrived accessories~☆! ↓

Sheep was so excited because it was her first time decorating her keitai with 3D gems~♥!

First and for all, I wiped my phone as clean as possible. I even applied a bit of soap and carefully wiped the screen clean. Seriously, the people who handed my phone were rather careless people. I spotted some scratches on my external and internal screen! <OAO>

Baa! Sheep was flabbergasted! <`A´>/

But since the marks are quite minor, I guess it’s best I pardon them instead of boiling my own blood. Ne? <—ω—>

So back to where I was saying…

↑ After cleaning my phone, I drew a crappy layout on the screen protector sticker.

As you can see — ↓

I didn’t do a good job on that. (Laughs nervously)

Let’s just say — I own a pair of fidgety hands! <;__;>

I can never draw a straight line even with the help of a ruler no matter what~!

So if given a chance, please don’t ask me to draw lines for you. You’ll regret it!

Baa~ <u_u>

I only had 2 pieces of that screen protector and as hard as I tried to cut and paste the sticker diligently however… ↓

I failed miserably! ↑ (Cries)

I’m not sure whether its suppose to be extremely sticky like a double-sided type or what but — I’m definitely not going to do this again manually. I just wasted them unnecessarily!

Besides, it’s so sticky that I won’t be surprise if it leaves any glue stains in a matter of time! <x_x>

Therefore, be wise — Get an expert if you have no confidence in doing it yourself, ok?

In the end, I somehow managed to use the bits and pieces of the remains. <T_T>

After struggling to stick the protector screen, I investigated the other packet where all the goodies were~♥

(The marker pen is however — not included!)

You’ll be given some gems, pearls, flowers… (according to the design that you chose), 2 cotton buds, 2 tooth picks and a pair of glue which you need to mix on an aluminum foil. Do be careful! The glue is very sticky!

From this point onwards, I did not take any photos for this footage simply because — My hands were very sticky. (Laughs nervously) <^x^>lll

However, I can spare you some basic yet handy tips:

• Arrange the beads and pearls BEFORE sticking on them for real. → It’s better that you have a rough idea on where you want to stick them and how you want them to appear at the end of the day. After that, you should have enough confidence to apply glue on them. (Blend both the glue as well as possible. And don’t leave them expose to the air for too long. It’ll dry up!)
• Start with the bigger beads and pearls. → Use them as your mark.
• Use the 2 tooth picks that are provided for you. → Especially when it comes to the puny beads.
• Use the cotton buds to clean up the exceeding glue.

It took me close to an hour to decorate my phone up to my satisfaction. ↓

(Smiles) I’m quite please with how I arranged the gems and pearls. Though I’m still beating myself senseless for picking pink flowers instead of red. Moreover the phone is already pink in color.. (Sobs) But from the way it looks — it still stands out I suppose… <_  _>lll

Once I was done, I eagerly attached my new hanger on my princess-looking phone~☆! ↓

Presenting the final result~☆! ↓

From afar, it looks nice and fancy. But truth to speak — It’s damn messy up-close because I simply stick the screen protector. (Weeps) <TAT>

Question: Will the gems and pearls get in the way when the phone lights up?

Well.. See for yourself! <^ε^>/ ↓

What do you think? <.__.>{?]

No no! I don’t want your opinion on my how terrible my verbal skills are. I meant — the phone and its light!

!! Slaps own forehead !!

Is it too gaudy? Because that’s what my mother and uncles said. (Tears)

Then again, it’s my phone so — (Sticks out tongue)

Can’t stop sheep! <≥A≤>/

Those of you who are wondering where I got my accessories… You can find them at Strapya-world.com.

Click here to go to the Handphone Stickers category immediately!

They do ship their goods to Malaysia so don’t worry. We’re not that unknown. (Laughs)

Other than purchasing their screen protector (which I’ll never buy again), 1 Swarovski Original Design and that lovely wishing-upon-a-star-ribbon strap — I also bought a Morimo! ↓

It’s so much smaller than I expected! <´•ω•`>

A Morimo is a small weed[?] which apparently acts as a good luck charm. Take good care of it, change its water regularly and it will bless you with luck~☆!

You can buy Morimo with your birth stone with it~♥! \<^v^>/

It’s now hanging on my wallet~♫

Baa~♫ <u_u>

Sheep has to leave now~♫ <^x^>

Just so you know, I won’t be blogging for this entire week because I have guests in my house.

So don’t panic during my absence alright? <T_T>

I’ll catch up with minna-hun as soon as possible!

Desu kara — Baa-bai~♥!

PS: I got Auwlithe to pose for me because sheep is too lazy and ugly to cam-whore at the moment. With that said — Please pardon me~! <´•___•`>

P.PS: If you’re an individual who keeps her phone in her pocket, then you better not decorate your keitai like mine. Imagine those sharp little things poking your ass! (Laughs)

21st December 2K8, Sunday – Morning[?]

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I-I-I-got a new phone~☆!

Chang-chang-LA~a~! :*:・<￣∀￣>・:*:

This is the phone that I made an advance booking 3 weeks ago. The retailer assured me that I will get it in 1 week but hell no, he told me to wait some more until yesterday — I canceled my order from him and left for another retailer. <`A´>/

Thank goodness, I finally got my hands on the LG KF350! (Laughs) <u_u> ↓

In the past few weeks, I was so anxious and restless. I kept my fingers cross hoping to receive good news from that retailer saying, “Your phone is here!”.

A~ah well, can’t blame me because this phone has a plain yet attractive design. In fact, it looks like a Japanese keitai style. I’m sure many youths (especially girls) will find this phone very catchy to the eyes.↓

(My previous phone: Nokia 7390)

As said, sheep is now very happy and gleeful! <^x^>/

This phone model is called The Ice-cream phone. I have no idea why it’s named after ice-cream. Perhaps it’s because there are 3 dewy creamy colors available; Blue, White and Pink. <.__.>{?]

Well, my color of choice is pink and let’s take a look at actual phone that now belongs to me. (Laughs) ↓

Judging by the appeal itself, it sure gives away the stylish and Japanese feel even though this phone isn’t as long and tall as Japanese made phones.

… But look on the bright side, it’s slim! <^v^>/

Surprisingly, it’s a bit heavier than it looks. Very solid despite that it consist of plastic material.

As for the interior design… ↓

It’s neat and I simply love the simplicity of this phone. The phone is horizontally broader than my Nokia 7390 however, not too obvious and still acceptable.. at least to me. <_  _>lll

↑ The user interface is 240 x 320. At first, I was disappointed with the small screen. There’s ample space to make the screen bigger and longer but as you can see, LG designed an unnecessary border around the screen which makes the screen look even smaller!

* There are only 2 themes: Black and white. (Cries) No variety, huh? <;__;>

If that does not suck enough, the black dot you see on your top right is NOT a camera. (Sorry, cam whores..)

*A~aw~* <;__;>

That is an Auto Luminance Control. Since my knowledge in explaining technical stuffs is rather limited and pathetic, the most I can do to help you understand this function is to extract the information from the LG KF350′s manual book itself:

Auto Luminance Control

“When you set the Auto brightness to On, the brightness of the LCD screen will be automatically set by an ALC (Auto Luminance Control) sensor built into your phone. Auto Luminance Control automatically adjusts screen brightness according to the ambient brightness. KF350′s smart luminance control provides clear screen under bright lights and is gentle on the eyes when dark, all while saving battery power. The function of Auto Brightness is set to ON by default.”

At first, I didn’t know about this function and while I was testing out the phone — The back light kept blinking from bright to dark. Afraid that it was spoiled, I panicked and when through the manual book again to discover that it was a special function.

Seriously, LG should have just build a camera in replace of the ALC because the constant change of light can be very distracting.

Now moving on to the key pad compartment… ↓

It’s very spacious. I’m not used to big key pads and the END CALL (Button that cancels everything as well as turns off the phone) is too close to the number 3 button.

While typing a message to Mira, I kept hitting the END CALL button which resulted my message to be save under Draft. And this jinx happen like — 5 – 8 times in one message? <o_o>

Don’t feel discourage. My fingers are at fault for being spastic, not the phone. <^-^>lll

Baa… Up next… ↓

You can check the time without opening the phone. All you have to do is click the side button (which is the volume button) and the time will re-appear. The time will not be displayed at all times by the way. I think it’s better that way. It will help you reserve battery.

Another great feature about the LED is — You can select an emoticon as your screen saver!

Firstly, click OK → Settings. ↓

Then go to External LED → Wallpaper. ↓

You can choose to display the time only or … ↓

Go for the kawaii emoticons! \<^v^>/ This is how it will turn out. ↓

* Some emoticons are animated! Like the one above!

If you like, you can also customize your own! But you can only store 3 customized emoticons/text. (Cries)

About the MP3 player … ↓

That’s how it will turn out to be. There will be light omitting according to the beat and tempo of the music.

Ok… Enough about how awesome the design and the LED function. Let’s move on to the main question that we all ask before purchasing a phone. And that is — Are the photos taken by LGKF350 sharp and reliable?

Well honestly, I’m quite upset that it ruins up-close shots because it does not have an auto-focus and macro feature. However, I’m quite contented with its quality results.

Below here are some sample photos taken using the LG KF350. ↓

My beloved dog, Auwlithe~♥ ↑ <≥ω≤>/

With these pictures, I let you decide whether the quality is satisfying enough for you.

The camera is equipped with basic functions such as the following:

• Color effect
• White Balance
• Night Mode
• Timer
• Tools for editing (Rotate, resize, insert text and element, clipping, image defect [mosaic blur, distort...], special effect [black & white, sepia, color negative, black & white negative, enhance RGB, contrast, sharpen, emboss, sketch..etc])
• Frame effect
• Mirror
• … and more!

The capture speed is fast unlike Nokia 7390 that takes about 3 seconds. Therefore, your photos will be snap in an instant.

Now how about the reliability of LG 350′s video recordings? <.__.>{?]

To clarify the quality, I specially made this short video! ↓

Uh… (Laughs nervously)

Silly video… Well.. This is all I can say about this phone for now. I’m happy with it and still exploring its features. The 1 thing that I’m quite paranoid about this phone is that the latch for the USB/Head phone/charger and Micro SD is loose.. <OAO> ↓

It’s very VERY loose. >_<

I don’t mean that it comes off easily — It’s just that when I lift it up to plug in the USB/Charger, it dangles. <TAT>

So you gotta be careful. Don’t be rough when opening it and plugging it, ok?

Oh! Before I end this. One last tip:

* If you can’t seem to insert the Micro SD card and it keeps ejecting — Remove the back cover, battery and SIM card then insert the Micro SD by the side. That ought to be the trick!

Baa~ Make that as the second last tip because I still have one more. <^-^>lll Please please bear with my long-windedness.

For those who love BLINGING their accessories — LG KF350 is probably a very ideal phone for decorations!

Here’s a web site that sells many lovely and sparkling accessories for phones. Here’s an example of how your phone might turn out to be soon! ↓

Personally, I’ve not bought anything from Strapya-World yet. I’m planning to but haven’t decide what I want. There are too many goodies there! <*^v^>/

With that said, do check this online shop~♥! \<´v`>

To Strapya-world.com!

Hai! \<^ε^>/ This is the end~! Thank you for your patience with sheep~!

I admire your endurance~! (Laughs)

Ms.Aya, taking her leave now~! <∏A∏> (Cries)

[ . . . ]

PS: I can’t say anything regarding the life span of the phone battery because I’ve only used it in 2 days. Perhaps after 5 days or a week later, I’ll make a second report. Hopefully, this phone won’t fail me by then. (Laughs)

P.PS: Oh! Yeah! How can sheep forget?! <^-^>lll When you purchase the LG KF350 — you get a ice-cream phone strap! ↓

Before this, I heard that customers who buys this phone are entitle to Baskin & Robin’s ice-cream voucher. Strange.. I didn’t get it. <.___.>{?] 1GB MicroSD memory card was also not included..

A~ah well.. I was too distracted with the cute and adorable sales attendant. (Laughs) <´•ω•`>lll

With that said — Cheers to ice-cream phone!
