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.
