LG KS360 - messaging on the move
The LG KS360 mobile phone is a stylish and compact slide designed handset that comes available in a choice of various fashionable colours which include, black & red, black & silver, titanium & bright blue or a white & soft pink enabling the user to really reflect their personality. Once slid open, what appears to be just a simple looking slide design mobile phone reveals a full QWERTY keypad which is a fantastic surprise to this funky looking handset. The LG KS360 mobile phone comprises a very large 2.4 inch TFT screen displaying 262k colours with 240 320 pixel resolutions making for colourful viewing. The KS360 mobile phone also features touch screen dialling enabling the user to make calls with the minimalist of effort. The handset is such a neat and compact size, it will fit comfortably in any pocket, with dimensions of 101.5 x 51 x 16.8mm and weighs a respectable 108g. Other members of the LG family include the LG KF600 Venus and LG KF700.
LG KS360 - Camera & Imagery
The LG KS360 only features a 2 mega-pixel camera without FLASH which is fairly disappointing for such a stylish and new mobile phone. The camera features a Fixed-Focus function along with Photo settings. The user can use their LG KS360 mobile phone to record video footage which can be instantly played back on the TFT display screen. The video recorder records in MPEG4 and H.263 video format files. The user can benefit from the video settings function to really make most of their camera video imagery.
LG KS360 - Music Player
The LG KS360 has a built-in music player system that supports popular music formats such as, MP3, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ formats. The music player system enables the user to keep entertained and listen to their favourite tunes while on the go. Why not jazz up and personalise the LG KS360 mobile phone with a ring-tone, as the selection of ring-tones available on the KS360 include, MP3 tone and 64 polyphonic ring-tones. The LG KS360 mobile phone comes equipped with 15 mega-bytes of internal memory, which isn't a lot of memory at all for a mobile phone these days, but there is a MicroSD™ memory card slot enabling the user to add up to a further 4 Gigabytes of memory. 4 Gigabytes of memory will provide the user with enough memory for around 500 photos depending on resolution.
LG KS360 - Internet & Connectivity
The user can surf the net on their LG KS360 mobile phone as an HTML/XHTML & WAP browser technologies are all provided with this trendy handset. The user can also make the most of the fast and speedy data transfers and speedy connections with the EDGE and GPRS technologies, and connecting to other compatible devices with the Bluetooth® and USB technologies is also straight forward and simple to operate. The KS360 mobile phone operates on a Tri-band network and covers GSM-900/1800/1900 which will enable the user to use their mobile phone while abroad.
LG KS360 - Messaging & Applications
The LG KS360 comes with the usual messaging services we have come to expect with our mobile phones these days which include, SMS, MMS (multi-media messaging), Emailing with the additions of Predictive text and Instant messaging. The emailing service is great for those who do like to use their mobile phone as a business tool also, as it can keep them in touch and up to date with the work load while away from the office.
LG KS360 - Application Tools
Application tools are a great asset on a mobile phone as they are all fantastic features that can help out when necessary, some of the applications provided on the LG KS360 mobile phone include, Touch Screen Dialling, Alarm Clock, Calendar and a QWERTY keyboard. For a full detailed listing of the tools provided please check out the specifications list below.
LG KS360 - Gaming
The user can really keep boredom at bay for those long and dull journeys especially the trains with the embedded Java and downloadable games on the LG KS360. The games are a great source of entertainment and amusement, but please check before downloading any games as there may be a small cost involved for this particular service.
LG KS360 - Summary
While the LG KS360 looks cool and funky and features a superb and surprising QWERTY keyboard, we are a little disappointed in the camera feature/function and the music player system, especially as these features are not as good as other mobile phones that are available on the market, and surprising considering the LG KS360 is geared towards the younger consumers. But none the less it is an ok mobile phone with definite style without too much fuss and complications.

Don't buy it 
I bought this phone last year and fell completely in love with it! well i was until about a month later, the problems ive experienced with this phone are:
* The screen freezes
* Turns itself on and off
* It rings my contacts by itself
* The sound has gone completely
* When im making or taking a call the person on the other end cant hear me because my speakers gone
* The battery life lasts about half a day
After having these problems i took it back to be repaired, when i got it back everything was working fine again apart from it freezing now and again which i could put up with, then a few months later it started all again!
I not a clumsy person, i never drop my phone or throw it about so i dont see any reason for why the phone is doing it, other people ive spoken to about it say they have the same problems with this phone, im so disapointed about the whole thing, i love the design but the actual phone is a let down, so my advice would be not to purchase this phone, its the worst phone ive ever had.

Okay, but seen betterIt's quite good, but the music player is very basic and the web browser is rubbish (if you do buy the phone, download Oprah Mini) and sometimes it decides to turn off for no reason. It comes with just enough memory for just two songs so you will need an SD card (4GB, I recommend, as it can't take more memory than that). Also sometimes it mysteriously calls random people.

Don't buy it This phone is a complete mess. It may look OK but the internal software is a disgrace. It isnt helped by the badly written code downloadable from the LG website. I bought this phone for my daughter who loves the txting keypad but gets frustrated with the 15meg internal memory and the inability to be able to play music from the SD card. I ask you, what is the f**king point of that?!
Dont waste your money on this rubbish - there are plenty of better phones for the money

AverageI am truely amazed by this phone. It does everything i want a phone to do and so much more. There are only 3 downfall s to this phone i could find, one, it doesnt zoom on still pictures, but it does on videos, two, its not a full-out touch screen, and three, it cant minimize applications. Apart from those, this really is a awesome phone, especiall y for its price. So to any one thats thinking about getting a new phone, get the lg ks 360...

I WANT ONE!! I have one and as a phone in quality/price it's a hell of a deal. Its a very thin and beautifull phone, it as glamour, with touchscreen(only for dialing, but not for long :) )in my point of view (and i had a N81 before) the real big diferences between this phone and nokia N81 aren't that much (the 2 big one's are wireless and flash for the camera), but N81 doesn't have touchscreen or a Qwerty keyboard). It depend's on what you realy need. It's a great deal if your a message sending fan and it's much cheaper than the Nokia N81. The diference was 70€ less than the N81 and wirless and flash doesn't value that amount of money, couse if you think so maybe you should look at LG KC550 with 5MP with flash costing 50€ less than N81.
