The KS365 is a funky yet functional handset. You’ll never have to compromise practicality for aesthetics, as its slider design incorporates a full QWERTY keyboard.
The 2.4 inch TFT screen is ample for web browsing and basic games, and threaded SMS keeps track of all your conversations. The 2 megapixel camera is adequate for everyday use, and you can increase the internal storage up to 16GB. Unfortunately it’s bright purple, which may not appeal to everyone.
The LG KS365 carries much of what made the LG KS360 such a successful and popular mobile phone. Like the KS360, it has a full QWERTY keyboard which efficiently eliminates the need for redundant key tapping and enables the user to make use of a full range of features with the use of both the keyboard and the touch screen. The key board slides out crisply from under the screen and gives the device a good overall grip.
Refreshing to the Eyes
Since the LG KS360 passed the torch to the LG KS365, the latter has more of an edge when it comes to ergonomic design. While both share a similar looking keyboard, the KS365 is still able to get the one up by having an updated menu button design. Instead of carrying a cross shaped layout for its navigation keys, the KS365 has a round area, making for smoother operations.
LG made sure that the 2.4 inch TFT touch screen gives your eyes a rest with its clear, crisp display of up to 256 thousand colors. It has a 240 by 320 pixel resolution and allows for a time saving touch screen dialing feature. Threaded SMS is also supported, giving users an efficient tally of their conversations.
Facets of the KS365
Connectivity-wise, the KS365 carries support for 2G networks in the 900, 1800 and 1900 GSM frequencies. It is also able to connect to devices such as wireless headsets and computers with the use of its Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP. It also has a USB port for file transfers.
Those who like taking photos will be glad to know that the LG KS365 has a 2 megapixel snapper with a 1600 by 1200 pixel resolution. It supports digital zoom as well as video clip capture. For storage, you may opt to purchase a microSD card which can store up to 16 GB.
The best part of all is that the KS365 has its own photo and video editor, making sure your keepsakes look top notch.
Love Your Music
For music lovers, the LG KS365 gives you a number of options. If you are very particular about the kind of music you listen to, then you may want to store some of your favorite tunes. The KS365 is able to recognize MP3 and eAAC+ audio files so you can save some of your preferred tracks and bring them with you on the go. For those who want some variety, the KS365 also has a stereo FM radio.
The FM radio has RDS (or Radio Data System) support built in which is a standard that allows digital information to be embedded along with the FM radio broadcast. This means that you so not only see the station you are at, you also see the correct time and program information to help you choose your station of choice.
Videos can also be played by the KS365. Supported file formats include those with the MP4 and H.264 file extensions so you can opt to bring something to watch on the road.
