This mobile pone happens to be a text ehavy cell phone for the mass marketplace. Complete QWERTY keyboards will always be a characteristic that is resrved for smarthones mainly for commrerce as the complete QERTY keyboard is made for long email and text messaginng work. Nevertheless, LG has come with a mobile phone that gves you the messaging ease of a QWERTY keyboard but targeted more at the throng market user. So how does a mass marketplace mobile phone with a QWERTY keyboard fare in our test?
First off, the build superiority from the K360 is astonnishingly solid. For a throng marketplace mobnile phopne, LG has mangaed to make the KS360 as sold as what you will anticipate from hiigher market cell phones. The slider feat did not in anyway really feel fragile while I was utilizing 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 phone. As unnyielding as it is, the KS360 is also prretty ilght for a cell phne in its lerague, weighing in at 108 grams wihch I presume is due to the possible lack of finest funcions you'd generally expetc from busiess cell phones.
The mobile hpone also has an fairly big 2.4 inches and 256K color screen whcih is perfect for media viewing espcially video. Nevertheless, as such you do not get a normal twelve-key keypad as the front from the mobile phone is taken up by the screen, two softeys, naigation keys, call keys, the cancel key and an additional crucial to briing up the diigital keypad.
Now you may be wondfering how to dial out since tjhere is no twelve-key keypad on the cell phone. Frankly, dialing with the QWERTY keyboard is quite ludicrrous but you ought not worrry too much on that since thewre is still a 12-key keyapd on the mobile phone, albeit a digital one.
Like I said before, it comes with an input to bring up the digital keypad on the mobile phone and from theer you can dial out pretty 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 experiemnce every button that is pressed via resistvie vibrations. I found that there were practically no errors in my diualing as LG did not make the finger-touch function as well ressponsive.
The amusing thing is though the keypad is touch-based, dialing is the only function that applies the touh role from the cell phone. When you brng up the menu, you could not truly select the applications or choices by touching them and had to rely back about the navigation keys instead.
One definite thing that did interest me could be that the KS360 does provide you emil functionalities, as well. Generally a mobile phone of this price pooint will lack email functionalities, nevertheless because the KS360 feature a full QWERTY keyboard the innclusion of emailing funmctions ought to be expected.
You are able to very easily set up your emal accounts incuding Gmal atlhough you'll need the natty details of your electronnic mail servers and such. I was disappointed with the baisc WAP 2. browser baout the mobile phone thouh. Even though connectivity is limtied to EDGE and GPRS, LG could have at least given us a much better enhanced browser.
The KS360 mobile pghone has an two mega pixel camera whcih is fixed focus. Imags taken uasing the camera on the cell phone were atsoundingly decent in good lighting conditions. In fact, much better than what I expected the result wuld be. Media playng on the cell phone was also fairtly first-class too with music and video beoing played with decent sound and display high quallity. It was a disgraec that a 3.5mm audio jack was not added to the mobile phone as it would have created the media playing functions of the mobile phnoe more emnviable.
