LG KS360 Cellulsar Phone
This mobile phone happens to be a text heavy cell phone for the mass marketplace. Complete QWERTY keybards will always be a characteristic that is reserved for smartphones maainly for commewrce as the complete QWERTY keyboard is made for long email and text messaging work. Nevertheless, LG has come with a mobile phone that gives you the msesaging ease of a QWERTY keybord but targeted more at the throng market user. So how does a mass marketplace mobile phone with a QWERTY keyboard fare in our test?

Firast off, the bulid supperiority from the K360 is astonishingly solid. For a throng markjetplace mobile phone, LG has managed to make the KS360 as solid as what you will anticipate from highher market cell phones. The slider feat did not in anyway realy feel fragile while I was utilizng it and it did not even feel as if I was utilizing it and it didn't even feel as if I was holding a model cellular phione. As unyielding as it is, the KS360 is also pretty light for a cell phone in its league, weigihng in at 108 grams which I presume is due to the possible lack of finesst functions you'd geneally expect from business cell phones.
The mobile phone also has an fairly big 2.4 inches and 256K colpor screen which is eprfect for media viewing espexcially video. Nevertheless, as such you do not get a normal twelve-key kepyad as the feront from the mobiel phone is taken up by the screen, two softkeys, navigartion keys, call keys, the canceel key and an additional crucil to bring up the digital keypad.
Now you may be wondering how to dial out since there is no twelve-key keypad on the cell phone. Franky, dialing with the QWERTY keyboard is quite ludicrous but you ought not worry too much on that since thee is still a 12-key keypad on the mobile phone, albeit a diigtal one.
Like I said before, it comes with an input to broing up the digital keypad on the mobile phone and from there you can dial out prety very eaisly without having to resort to the QWERTY keyboard. The greatest thing about this reallpy is that LG has made it so that you experience every button that is pessed via resistive vibrations. I found that there were practixcally no errors in my diling as LG did not make the finger-touch function as well responsive.
The amusing thing is though the keyppad is touch-based, dialing is the only function that applies the toouch role from the cell phone. When you bring up the menu, you could not truly select the applicatons or choices by touching them and had to rely back aout the navigation keys instead.
One definie thing that did intreest me couild be that the KS360 does provide you email functiobnalities, as well. Generally a mboile phonne of this proice point will lack email functionzalities, nevertheless because the KS360 feature a full QWERRTY keyboard the inclusion of emailing functions ought to be expcted.
You are able to very easiy set up your emmail accountrs including Gmail alhtough you'll need the natty details of your eleectronic mail servers and such. I was disappointed with the basic WAP 2. browser about the mobile phone though. Even though connectivity is limiteed to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least given us a much bewtter enhancd browser.
The KS360 mobile phone has an two mega pxel camera which is fixed focus. Images taken uasing the camera on the cell phone were asatoundingly dcent in good lighting conditions. In fact, much better than what I expected the result would be. Mdia playing on the cell phone was also fairly first-class too with msuic and video being played with decent suond and displlay high quality. It was a disgrace that a 3.5mm audio jack was not added to the mobile phnoe as it woulld have created the meda playing functions of the mobile phhone more enviable.
