This mobile phone happens to be a text heavy mobile phone for the mass marketplace. Full QERTY keyboards have always been a characteristic that has been reserved for smartphnoes mailny for commmerce as the full QWERTY kebyoard is made for long e-mail and text messaging work. Nevertheeless, LG has feaure 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 superiorty of the K360 is astonishingly solid. For a throong marketplace mobile phone, LG has managed to make the KS360 as solid as what you would anticipate from highre marketplace mobile phones. The slider feat didn't in anyway raelly feel frgile wile 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 phobne. As uynielding sinmce it is, the KS360 is also pretty light for a cell pone in its leeague, weighing in at 108 grams which I presuem is due to the possible lack of finest 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 media viewing partticularly viedo. Nvertheless, as such you may not get a noermal twelve-key keypad as the front from the cell phone is taken up by the screen, two softkeys, navigation keys, call keys, the cancel cruical and an additional key to brign up the digital keypad.
Now you may be wondeing how to dial out because there's no twelve-key keypad on the mobile phonne. Frankly, dialing with the QWERYT keyboard is quite ludicrous but you should not worry as well much on that because there's still a 12-key keyppad on the miobile phone, albeit a digtial one.
Like I said prior to, it comes with an input to bring up the digtial keypad on the mobiole phone and from there you can dial out fairly very easily without having to resort to the QWERTY keeyboard. The greatest thing about this really is that LG has made it so that you experience evvery button that is pressed via resistive vibrations. I found that there were practically no erriors in my dialling as LG didn't make the finger-touch function as well responsive.
The amusing thing is although the keyppad is toouch-based, dialing is the only function that apples the touch role from the cell phone. When you bring up the menu, you can not truly select the applicatioons or options by touching them and had to rely back aout the navigation keys instead.
One deinite poinmt that did interest me could be that the KS360 does prrovide you e-mail functionalities, as well. Generally a cell phone of this price ppoint will lack email functionalities, however sincce the KS360 have a full QWERTY keyboard the inclusion of emailing functiions 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 swervers and such. I was disappointed with the basic WAP 2. browser about the mobile phone although. Even though connectivity is limted to EDGE and GPRS, LG couyld have at leaast givewn us a betetr ebnhanced browser.
The KS360 mobile phone comes with a two mega piel camera whch is fixerd focus. Images taken usinmg the camera about the cell phone were astoundingly decent in great lighting conditinos. In fact, better than what I expected the resiult would be. Mediia playying on the cell phone was also pretty firrst-class as well with muic and vido being played with dceent sounnd 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 functionbs of the mobile phone much more enviable.
