LG KS360

LG KS360

LG will soon offer a new handset for UK’s mobile users, the KS360, a fairly unremarkable looking phone at first glance, looks like a pretty standard slider phone when you first see it. But the unique selling proposition here is that the slide-out keypad has a full QWERTY arrangement rather than a standard number pad.

The KS360, with 102 x 51 x 17mm in size, has horizontal 2.4-inch screen and 240 x 320 pixel screen resolution, and underneath which is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard and the host of other keys and peripheral ports.

LG KS360

LG KS360 is targeted towards youngsters who mostly use their mobile phones for texting, emailing and social networking.

The keyboard on the KS360 is interesting for a couple of reasons. On the positive side, the key spacing is very good which should help when composing messages. On the negative side, the layout is a little more creative than usual – the space bar is where the V and B keys usually are, so the bottom row of keys is split.

The new LG also comes with an accelerometer as well as the following features: tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, a 2 Megapixel camera with fixed focus and video recording, Music player with support for MP3, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+, FM Radio, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, MMS capabilities, WAP browser, Instant Messaging, email (POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and Microsoft Exchange), USB, only 15MB of internal memory and microSD card support for up to 4GB.

I got this phne and its nice but its also not as nice as my Sony Ericson.

I cant seem to have more than one application open, so if im on mixit, i cant read sms. i have to go off and read them.

Has someone figured out this as of yet, please let me know. and if there are any fancy things that are not in the manual that we can do.

We only had the one colour keyboard,silver :( Blue would have been cool or even the Pink!.

i have had this phone now since november and its an okay phone.
the slide tends to get a little loose over time, but nothing too severe.
also, the phone will sometimes switch itself off, which is a bit of a bummer. i am 14 and the phone is great for msn and bebo etc. texting is great too as you can change the font size and its just like a normal keyboard. overall, the phone is good and i would reccomend it. its a good size too!

i recently got this phone for my birthday, and its the worst phone ive ever had. it turns itself off when your in the middle of doing stuff, you cant hear people during a phone call, but they can hear you, the battery life is crap, and the ok button can sometimes lock. also there is a lot more wrong with it, i would not recommend it at all :)

i bought this phone 6 months ago. it was working fine and i loved the phone. the qwerty keyboard is awesome. the layout of the menu is great too. the sound on mp3 mode is quite loud and the memory card access is very convenient.
HOWEVER.. 6 months in .. and i get a problem with texting. i’m in the middle of texting a message and the phone turns off. it’s really annoying … nothing else happens but it just shuts down. also, like all LG phones it kinda lags and takes like 3seconds to nagivate.

Lowri, 10 year olds should not really have mobile phones, there is really no need. If you have your mind set on getting a mobile phone get a cheap $20 one so you can get used to it. A few years down the line you then can consider on getting the latest gadget
