Whats thumbup.gif

- QWERTY keyboard with good tactile feedback
- Easy messaging with threaded SMS ( just like Iphone)
- Touch Screen Dialing
- Rubbery back cover for better grib
- Camera keys placed at "weird" area but good for self portrait
- Speaker loud enough


Whats sad.gif

x 2MP fixed focus with no flash
x no 3G
x no Wifi
x Limited Touchscreen function
x 2 default themes to choose from ( black or white )
x Boring UI
x no on screen T9 keypad for more typing options


Conclusion hmm.gif

Overall a good reasonably priced messaging phone with adequate functions.
Nothing much to complain and nothing to shout about other than the qwerty.
If u are a hardcore SMS-er, this phone is for you..
If u hunger for specs.. better get those windows mobile with qwerty.
This phone is for fun and chat-a-lot users.. icon_idea.gif

good review smile.gif
help a lot in judgement to buy it or not
anyway it is not selling in a high price i think it is reasonable somemore the price is for a zitron set with is authorised dealer.
*
thanks..
end users will take a 2nd look at it becoz of its PRICE...the first look is bcos of the qwerty..hehe..
if its priced at RM1xxx.. who would even wanna think of owning it...plus... its an LG ( like most of them say)
I must say the pricing is acceptable...of course..with that pricing..u get some u lose some...if RM699 with WIFI too..then i think LG is doin a charity here..haha

its like..

no wifi - RM100
no 3G - RM100
no auto focus - RM100
limited touchscreen function - RM100

hense..from RM1099 - RM400 = RM699 a very frenly price thumbup.gif

LG should've throw in a pouch or something.

But since you mentioned in your review that the back is rubber, so does it mean it's scratch proof?
*
Its too cheap for them to include a pouch..even those RM1xxx also no pouch except the RM1999 SECRET.. brows.gif

The back is rubberize..like some of the SE..its not scratch proof but slightly more scratch resistant than normal plastics..

Nice phone. I'm using it now....for a 699 (promo price) phone, its good.

Btw..anyone know how to set the messages  to look like a messenger
*
-INBOX
-OPTIONS
-General VIEW / Threaded View

thats it..
enjoy..hehe..

using SMS for so so so so long..only till today i realized the TIME of the sms is NOT same as the SENDERS or the RECEIVERS time..

so IF A send to B at 10.00pm on his phone..and B received the SMS at 10.01pm on his phone. It might be showing 9.55pm on the sms details.

get what i m saying..its following the time of the SMS center .. i think..

thus..the THREADED VIEW of this KS360 will be a bit mess up..unless u sync ur time...

It involves SENDER , RECEIVER and SMS centers time when sending SMS..

BUT the time will only FOLLOW the SMS center..

IF A send to B @ 10pm BUT the time recorded is actually 9.55pm of the SMS center..

SO, the threaded view will follow the SMS's time and the sequence will be mix up.. sad.gif

how's the quality of thw sliding mechanism?
keypad quality?
screen quality?
any lag in the menu?
i'm interested in the phone cos i enter a lot of Notes in my phone.
*
- sliding mechanism is sturdy..but donno after few months what will happen la..
- qwerty keypad have good tactile feedback BUT a lil bit stiff to press
- screen? A RM 699 phone with QVGA...sure better than those SEs 176x220 with similiar price
- laggy? yes. a bit 1.5sec maybe

QUOTE(popeye3rd @ Nov 1 2008, 05:18 AM)
waa.cute fon.
like a toy.
r u sure its rm699?
*
not sure...i pay them RM700 and my balance is RM1..how much is it? laugh.gif

QUOTE(rexoxo @ Nov 2 2008, 01:31 AM)
i wish it would have wifi and 3g..


Added on November 2, 2008, 1:48 amis there a higher spec version of this design?
or future model??
*
wifi + 3G = RM300
Total price = RM699 + RM300 = RM999
then this model will not be popular and this thread wont be hot anymore..

Scenario:
RM1000 for a LG mid end? 2MP fixed focus only? not fully touch screen?what is LG thinking...get SE better.. laugh.gif


QUOTE(-Peggy- @ Nov 2 2008, 12:31 PM)
erm.. when do u think the price will drop for this phone? end of the year will drop price or not?? heh
*
Will ur pay increase at end of the year? hmm.gif

QUOTE(Balok @ Nov 2 2008, 12:38 PM)

why? parking cheaper? laugh.gif midvalley...u can try those kiosk at the carrefour area...pavilion...i don think u can get LG there..

KLCC LG mobile - RM699
Lowyat - RM650-RM699

i think if u get from those big place like KLCC lg mobile..its definitely selling at RRP..
if u get a those kiosk selling lg as well, i think u can get cheaper price.like that someone who got it at RM650 with free micro sd..
good luck searching.

that is real bargain...

anyhow, i really need the pc suite, they didnt give me any CD...someone...please help me la....please...i need to sync it with my pc...(i couldnt find it on the internet)

i manage to get the software, lousy, it doesnt sync with my microsoft outlook

Anyway, as over view...this phone hast all the basic stuff u need but really dont expect anything extra...if u had PDA phone / Smart phone or even the normal nokia phone before, there might be some part of this phone that might let u down, however, considering the price and some of cool function i.e. the qwerty thiggy....this phone is just ok

plus , if u r those who depends ur life on ur phone, this may not suite u, especially if u need your phone for your work the way u depend on PDA/Smart phone...

cheerios
*
i never expect this phone will sync with ur pc in the first place..thats why they didnt include any CDs..hahha..

LG is targeting this phone towards end users who are heavy texters. FULL STOP. anything other than that..its all basic..
u dont expect a RM699 that could sync with your Outlook, quickoffice or whatsoever...

in all honesty, sync with outlook is rather basic to me, but what can u say...for 699, couldnt expect much

anyhow, the phone look great, and for the price, it is a good phone..
hope it wont get too popular, or else semua orang pun pakai yang sama....not nice lor...

i havent really explore the phone, so anyone out there know any trick for this phone?
*
needless to say..is will reach " semua orang pun pakai sama" stage..haha...
u better change before that happens..
touch pro? x1? these i think wont be everyone using..
