As one would expect from a music mobile phone the LG KM555e has a music player, an FM radio, and an expandable external memory – up to  16GB using the external microSD memory card.  What makes this phone stand out is its Dolby Mobile technology, which enhances the sound quality considerably.

As a LG customer you will have access to the LG Music Club download service. This phone has similar features to the Samsung Star (GT-S5233A) so it should be able claim its fair share of the music market.

The LG Clubby also comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, including video features, and an accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate. The phone also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WAP and Edge.
