I've bought this sucker 3 weeks ago for RM799 at Mines (i know, but with Zitron and 2G external, i don't give a shit)

So here's my low down:

Good

- Healthy 2.4 screen
- Firm and sturdy slide
- Full QWERTY, easy sms (takes time to use)
- Touch screen (yay!)
- 2Mpix cam (better then my ol' Pantech)
- Fast BluTut 2.0
- Good MP3 playback
- Freakin loud external speaker (good alarm)
- Can put animated gif as wallpaper
- Small and cute!
- Dropped it twice and survive!
- Good battery life



Bad

- Wish it was 2.8 and above
- Small QWERTY button
- Partial touch screen for dialing and name searching (why not go all the way, at least a touchscreen game)
- cam are so-so with no flash (a bit grainy)
- The damn BluTut cannot transfer directly to external memory
- Small internal memory (just 15Mb)
- Small web view and not true HTML (i hate mobile version)
- No album art
- Sound from the speaker tend to crack from max abuse (wish they put speaker on the sides)
- No normal jack, only LG propriety headphone jack, that LG jerk!
- Gif wallpaper only for the once created in the phone, not download (always complain about the size too large)
- Video playback is crap! MPEG4 my ass (only for the worst compressed vid can play)
- Slow I/O from the external memory port (go crazy sometime when connected to my PC)
- Too small i've dropped it twice
- Delay reaction too often (usually when call searching)
- Freaky LG pre-installed games



Conclusion!

I always wanted to try LG, touchscreen and QWERTY combo type phone. KS360 with me has a love/hate relationship. Reliable for texting, hate it for the lacking of the mentioned above. But, with RM799 you can buy a better phone then this.

Advice

Buy at your own risk! Well, actually don't buy it unless you prefer to own a poor man's Sidekick. Just 3 weeks and i already planning to buy another phone (and i rarely have second thoughts)

Suggestions

If you're mad about QWERTY and touchscreen combo (but hate PDAs), here's my suggestions:

- Sony's Experia
- HTC Touch Pro (good for watching movie, lag interface)
- Sharp 03 from Wilcom (only for Japan market)

what i mean is that you want a normal looking phone. Having "PDA" dosen't suits non-biniz people. And it look too tacky. Like the QWERTY, hate the "aura" PDA brings along (no offence but my cousin carries PDA with him around, and he's barely 18...freaky)

For anyone who wanted the phone less then RM600, have to wait for few weeks. I think the price will go down next year so as the other LG phones (before Raya Viewty=RM2600, last week Viewty=RM1600)
