LG KS360 Cell Phone

This mobile phone happens to be a text heavy mobile phone for the mass marketplace. Full QWERTY keyboards have always been a characteristic that has been reserved for smartphones mainly for commerce as the full QWERTY keyboard is made for long e-mail and text messaging work. Nevertheless, LG has feature a mobile phone that gives you the messaging ease of a QWERTY keyboard but targeted much more at the throng market user. So how does a mass market mobile phone having a QWERTY keyboard fare in our test?

Very first off, the build superiority of the K360 is astonishingly solid. For a throng marketplace mobile phone, LG has managed to make the KS360 as solid as what you would anticipate from higher marketplace mobile phones. The slider feat didn't in anyway really feel fragile while I was utilizing it and it did not even feel as if I was using it and it did not even really feel as if I was holding a model cellular phone. As unyielding since it is, the KS360 is also pretty light for a cell phone in its league, weighing in at 108 grams which I presume is due to the possible lack of finest functions you'd generally expect from business cell phones.

The cell phone also has a pretty large 2.4 inches and 256K color screen which is perfect for media viewing particularly video. Nevertheless, as such you may not get a normal twelve-key keypad as the front from the cell phone is taken up by the screen, two softkeys, navigation keys, call keys, the cancel crucial and an additional key to bring up the digital keypad.

Now you may be wondering how to dial out because there's no twelve-key keypad on the mobile phone. Frankly, dialing with the QWERTY keyboard is quite ludicrous but you should not worry as well much on that because there's still a 12-key keypad on the mobile phone, albeit a digital one.

Like I said prior to, it comes with an input to bring up the digital keypad on the mobile phone and from there you can dial out fairly very easily without having to resort to the QWERTY keyboard. The greatest thing about this really is that LG has made it so that you experience every button that is pressed via resistive vibrations. I found that there were practically no errors in my dialing as LG didn't make the finger-touch function as well responsive.

The amusing thing is although the keypad is touch-based, dialing is the only function that applies the touch role from the cell phone. When you bring up the menu, you can not truly select the applications or options by touching them and had to rely back about the navigation keys instead.

One definite point that did interest me could be that the KS360 does provide you e-mail functionalities, as well. Generally a cell phone of this price point will lack email functionalities, however since the KS360 have a full QWERTY keyboard the inclusion of emailing functions ought to be expected.

You are able to easily set up your email accounts including Gmail though you'll need the natty details of your electronic mail servers and such. I was disappointed with the basic WAP 2. browser about the mobile phone although. Even though connectivity is limited to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least given us a better enhanced browser.

The KS360 mobile phone comes with a two mega pixel camera which is fixed focus. Images taken using the camera about the cell phone were astoundingly decent in great lighting conditions. In fact, better than what I expected the result would be. Media playing on the cell phone was also pretty first-class as well with music and video being played with decent sound and display high quality. It was a disgrace that a 3.5mm audio jack was not added to the mobile phone since it would have made the media playing functions of the mobile phone much more enviable.
