LG KS360 Review - read honest LG KS360 reviews
The LG KS360 is the first handset to be released by LG that features a full QWERTY keyboard with decent multimedia features as well. This is the LG’s first venture to release a device with the full keyboard in a non Smartphone into the mass market. It does so by cutting out on the features that would otherwise make the device too expensive. This makes this device stand out from the other phones in the market such as the BlackBerry Bold, which came with all the top class features.

The LG KS360 has a nice large screen that comes in handy to view WebPages. This screen is easy to view even in natural daylight. The icons in the menu are well spaced, making it easy for you to see and select an option even if you have poor eyesight. The shortcut keys are situated below the screen. The slide out keypad is both intuitive and easy to use. The keys are well separated which means that even a user with large fingers would find it easy to use to type out messages and emails. The keypad is the best feature of this phone as the keys are well raised off the surface of the phone and thus allows for easy typing. The phone also looks more expensive than some phones such as the HTC Touch, which is definitely one of the KS360’s advantages. The touch screen is one of the most responsive in all the phones with touch screens out in the market right now. It is actually almost as good as the iPhone.
The KS360 is not lacking in features either. It does have a basic camera along with enough memory to store a decent music collection. The main thing criticism about the phone is its connectivity options. Without 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi or even GPS, feature wise, the phone really lags behind when compared to phones such as the Nokia N95, which costs almost the same. It does compensate for this by having an excellent build quality guaranteed to last for a good couple of years without a problem. Overall, if you choose to buy this phone on the basis of its keyboard alone, there is little chance of you being disappointed.

LG KS360 Customer Reviews
I have this phone and it looks amazing but it hasn´t got quite as many features as some smartphones.
This phone has a nice design and look. I like how the keys on the keyboard aren´t too big or too small. It´s a perfect size. The camera is great, it captures and records clearly. The numeric touchscreen is nice but im not a huge fan of it. It´s got an mp3 player which is great. The only bad thing i found about it was the memory, but you can put an SD card in so that´s great.
I bought this phone for my 10 year old daughter 1 month ago and she absouloutely loves it! She has told me the camera is a very good quality but they suggest you buy a memory card but it´s not such a big deal. The music comes out clearly and can be put to a high level. The thing that I´m not happy about as a parent is that you have to an orange sim card and buy a £10 airtime voucher which makes my daughter go on the internet and chat to her friends for ages wasting her credit! But overall I think this is a fabulous phone for younger children aged 10-18. I wouldn´t buy this for myself as I already have a fantastic phone, the
LG GW520and I think that´s better than the LG KS360
