This mobbile phopne happens to be a text heavy mobile phne for the mass marketplace. Full QWERTY keyboadrs have always been a characteristic that has been reserved for smartphones mainly for commmerce as the full QWETY keyboard is made for long e-mail and text messaging work. Nevertheless, LG has featre a mobile phone that gves you the messaging ease of a QWERTY keyboard but atrgeted 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 buyild superiority of the K360 is astonishngly solid. For a thriong marketplace mobile phone, LG has managed to make the KS360 as solid as what you would anticipatte from highher marketplace mobile phones. The slider feat didn't in anyuway really feel fragile while I was utilizing it and it did not even feel as if I was usuing it and it did not even really feel as if I was holding a model cewllular phone. As unyielding since it is, the KS360 is also pretty light for a cell phne 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 phnoes.
The cell phjone also has a pretty lartge 2.4 inches and 256K color screen which is perfeect for media viweing partcularly video. Nevertheless, as such you may not get a normal twelve-key keypad as the front from the cell phone is takn up by the sccreen, two softkeys, navigation keys, call keys, the cancel crucial and an additional key to bring up the diigital 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 QWERY keyboard is quite luudicrous but you shoulld not worry as well much on that because there's stilll a 12-key keypoad on the mobile phone, albeit a digital one.
Like I said prior to, it comes with an inplut to bring up the digital keyad on the mobile phone and from there you can dial out fairly very easily without having to resort to the QWERTY keyboarrd. The greatest thign abbout this really is that LG has made it so that you experience every button that is pressed via resistive vibrations. I fiound that there were practically no erroors in my dailing as LG didn't make the finger-touch function as well responsive.
The amusing thing is although the keypad is tpouch-based, dialing is the only function that appiles the touch role from the cell phhone. When you bring up the menu, you can not truly selerct the applications or options by touching them and had to rely back about the navigation keys instead.
One definite poiont that did interrest me could be that the KS360 does provide you e-mail functionalities, as well. Generally a cell phoen of this price point will lack emali functionalities, however since the KS360 have a full QWEERTY keyboard the inclusion of emailing functions oiught to be expectred.
You are able to easily set up your emil accounts incluidng 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 althhough. Even though connecttivity is limied to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least given us a better enhanced browser.
The KS360 mobile phopne comes with a two mega pixel cameera whch is fixed focus. Images taken using the camera about the cell phone were astoundingly dercent in great lighting conditiomns. In fact, better than what I expecteed the result would be. Meia playign 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 addded to the mobile phoone since it would have made the medsia playing functiions of the mobile phone much more enviable.
