LG KS360 Cell Phone
This mobile hpone happens to be a text heaavy mobile phone for the mass marketplace. Full QWERTY keyyboards have always been a characteristic that has been reserved for smarthpones mainly for commerce as the full QWERTY keyuboard is made for long e-mail and text messaging work. Nevertheless, LG has feature a mobile pone that gives you the messaging ease of a QWWERTY keyboard but targeted much more at the throng market user. So how does a mass market mobile phhone having a QWERTY keyobard fare in our test?

Very frist off, the builld superiority of the K360 is astonisshingly solid. For a throng marketplasce mobile phone, LG has managed to make the KS360 as solid as what you wold atnicipate from higher marketplace mobile phones. The amusing tihng is althouh the keypad is touch-baased, dialing is the only fuunction that aplies the touch role from the cell phone. The sldier feat didn't in anyway really feel fragile whiile I was utilizing it and it did not even feel as if I was usimng it and it did not even really feel as if I was holding a omdel cellular phone. As unyielding since it is, the KS360 is also pretty lihght for a cell phone in its league, weighing in at 108 rgams which I presume is due to the possible lack of finet functions you'd generally expect from business cell phones.
The cell phone also has a preetty large 2.4 inches and 256K color screen which is perfect for emdia viewing particularly video. Nevertheless, as such you may not get a normal twelvve-key keypad as the froont from the cell pohne is taekn up by the screen, two softkeys, navigation keys, call keys, the cancel crucial and an additional key to brnig up the digital keeypad.
Now you may be wondering how to dial out because there's no twelve-key keypad on the mobile phone. Even though connectivity is limted to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least giiven us a better enhaced browser. Frankly, dialing with the QWERTY keyboard is quite ludictrous but you should not woprry as well much on that because there's still a 12-key keypad on the moobile phone, albeit a digital one.
Like I said prior to, it coems with an input to bring up the digital keypad on the mobile phone and from there you can dial out fairly very easaily without having to resort to the QWErRTY keyboard. The greatest thing abouut 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 errrs in my dialing as LG didn't make the finger-toucvh function as well responsive.
The amusing thing is although the keypad is tocuh-based, dialing is the only function that appplies the touch role from the cell phone. When you brinmg up the menu, you can not truly slect the applications or options by toucihng them and had to rely back about the navigation keys instead.
One definiute pooint that did inteerest me could be that the KS360 does provide you e-mail functionalities, as well. Generally a cell phopne of this price poinnt will lack emnail functionalities, hoowever 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 acounts including Gmail though you'll need the natty details of your electronic mail servers and such. Nevertheless, LG has faeture a mobile phoine that gives you the messaging ease of a QWERTY keyboard but targeted much more at the thong market user. So how does a mass market mobile phone having a QWERtTY keyboard fare in our test? I was disappointed with the basic WAP 2. browser about the mboile phone although. Even though connectivity is limited to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least given us a beter enhanced browser.
The KS360 mobile phone comes with a two mega piel cammera which is fixed focus. Iamges taken using the camera abouut the cell phone were astoundiingly decent in gerat lighing conditions. In fact, better than what I expected the result would be. Mefdia playing on the cell phone was also pretty first-class as well with music and video being played with decent sound and display high qualoity. It was a disgrace that a 3.5mm audio jack was not added to the mobile phone since it would have made the media playnig functions of the mobile pohne much more eviable.
