i just got this phone today, and it’s a little beaut of a phone

couple of annoying things though, there is only two themes, and i haven’t found where to download any others yet, sometimes a bit complicated to navigate, they decided to not use the full potential of the touch screen, TS dialing is a bit cramped and awkward, the QWERTY keyboard feels cramped unlike blackberrys, and if you don’t like parkour or skateboarding, the still wallpapers are going to annoy you a bit

there are many excellent features though, for a smartphone, it feels TINY, the slide keyboard is smooth, the navigation buttons are EXACTLY in the right place, the speaker is better and clearer than most sony ericsson’s (and louder, but thats not really hard to do), the camera is really good comparing to other 2.0MP camera phones, it has a button to jump you straight into WLM or certain social networks (bebo, myspace, facebook), the moving backgrounds are done in flash and work with the phone, like if you choose one of the backgrounds with people in it, when someone sends you a text, you see one of the people light up with a number and a letter symbol next to them, you then use the keys to navigate to that person and select him to read the text, and if you like texting, it has it’s very own button to jump you straight into a text, and concidering the amount of extras, it’s really good for £80 (Orange)

So.i just bought this phone today, just3 hours after seeing it on a website, and i can honestly say that it`s better than i have imagined.
My last phone was a Lg Shine, which ran too slow (my playlist had to be loaded in 30 seconds) it supported only a 2gb card ( the Ks 360 supports 4gb) and the sound was too low. At first i was afraid this model will be the same… but fortunately Lg learned something and made this one louder, faster and for some, prettier. It is a shame tho the touchscreen cant be used all the time, but the keyboard is awsome once u get the hang of it. Another plus is the FM Radio.
Unfortunately, i couldnt find any themes to download ( maybe because the phone just hit the market), but u can store lots of pics and music if u buy a microSD card.

oh… and for Sara : thge phone plays mp3`s ,the camera is average,it has only 2.0Mp, but it is a lot more than a VGA camera, so u can use it with more success.
And no..it isnt big at all, and it can be connected to the PC ( the best thing is that u dont need to install drives, because the PC will recognise it)

to macca!,
What do you mean by ’still wallpapers’?
Can you set pictures you take with the camera as wallpaper?

Hey guy’s I got this phone yesterday after my old contract ran out…if you purchase it from Orange on a one month contract sim they will also give you £10 off the rrrp! Basically it’s a great phone, the touch screen at the moment can only be used to dial out and search the address book when the phone is closed, that could change in the future though with updates!?…
The keypad took a while to get used to but it’s smooth and the menu system is easy to get used to so no deleting messages by accident like the old LG’s…camera is excellent, sure it’s only 2MP but it’s sharp and when else do you expect from what is an excellent value for money phone…it does play mp3’s as ringtones but you will need to get an SD card (mymemory.com) as onboard memory is only 15mb…no themes at the moment but it support high res pictures so just use wall papers like on your PC for now…Gmail mobile works on it too which is awesome for using your gmail on your phone and the screen flip works great with Opera Mini for on the webb, just like on your computer at home then!

I’ld recommend it but be delicate with it, I can see it getting broken if your rough with your phones…

Oh and I forgot to mention it has MSN messenger built in although I couldn’t get it to work but that might have just been me…if you don’t have Gmail installed on your phone you can still check your email’s with it too, if you can set it up lol…comes with headphones and charger, that’s it for accessories.

On October 28, 2008 @ 1:20 pm Cindy says:

Hi guys,
Just to enlighten some of you, this is a great phone for young people. As a 19 year old girl myself, I’ve always loved a side slide with full QWERTY keyboard phone and I have just purchased a Samsung ’sidekick’ phone last month. However, upon finding out the release of this phone, I quickly hit the phone shop to buy it out right for a reasonable price of AUD199! What drew my attention was the colour. I have always been a fan of the colour red, but never really got the chance to buy a good red coloured phone so far. Upon 2 days of owning this phone, it’s been serving me well with its functions and all. However, there are some drawbacks..

1. Video: The video playback seems to be lagging by 1-2 seconds. It makes your viewing displeasurable and weird.

2. Tools: By having explored Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones in the past, this phone has given me a lil’ of a hassle by not being able to have a direct shortcut to the Calendar. I’m a heavy scheduler and constantly use my phone to refer to the calendar. And this phone doesn’t offer that. Hence, I need to go through the main menu –> tool –>organiser –> calendar, JUST to check my exam date!

3. Files: Somehow, I can’t seem to move my file (eg. music, image etc) to a specific folder. This phone only moves file to either External or Internal Main Folder, but not to the specific folder if you want to get things organized. I find this pathetic as you have to scroll down to a whole bunch of photos before you can find the one you really want. It seems very disorganized sometimes, especially with all your files scattered around.

4. Start Up: The start up seems to take much longer as expected.

5. File Transfer: When connected to my MacBook with the data cable, I can’t seem to detect my MicroSD memory card, which means I can’t tranfer my data directly to my External Memory. I have to go through the hassle of transferring data to the Internal Memory first, then eject the cable, and then move all my data from the Internal and External Memory Card. And this process repeats for numerous times as the phone only offers 15mb of Internal Memory, until I have transferred all my data. What a hassle!
Apart from that, it is a great simple phone in itself. With an affordable price like AUD199, we can’t expect a really high end phone that gives us all the features that may satisfy all the consumers. However, I hope LG can look into all these for the sake of maintaining their standard and to gain our trust.

Hope you all find this review useful. Cheers!

On October 28, 2008 @ 7:38 pm Cindy says:

Hi Fern,
It depends on the memory card you use. If you buy a MicroSD 1gb memory card, you can probably store up to 20-30 songs in this phone. However, this phone can hold up to 4gb of memory card. So, you can buy a 4gb MicroSD memory card and store up to hundreds of songs. Hope this helps. Cheers!

On October 28, 2008 @ 11:04 pm Fern says:

Thanks for the advice, does the phone come with a 1gb memory card and if you do not have a momory card at all how many songs can it hold up 2
thanks
21
On October 29, 2008 @ 2:31 pm Cindy says:

Hi Fern,
No, this phone doesn’t include any memory card. You’ll have to purchase one yourself. Usually one song sized to about 3-4mb. With the internal memory of 15mb in this phone, you can only probably store up to 3-4 songs without any external memory card.

Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting this phone yeah?

Does it have a flash with the camera, I used to have the Sony Ericsson W610i, it was the best phone I had personly had in a long time, Due to the effects of the camera.

Please get back to me ASAP.

Oh and also, what other extra’s does it come with?

Thanks a bunch.

On October 30, 2008 @ 11:07 pm Cindy says:

Hi Fern,
It depends. This phone only supports MicroSD, which is the really tiny one.

http://www.channelflip.com/2008/09/17/lg-ks-360/
it is an enlish review and i got loads of positives and negatives from it. If you are not sure, try it. It is a video. The keyboard looks great and the touch screen for the numbers seems ok.
Hope this helps and I am very excited about getting it for xmas!!

Hi Sumi,

On November 3, 2008 @ 10:21 pm Cindy says:

Hi Sumi,
It’s weird that you can’t detect your memory card in your phone. Perhaps you could bring the phone back to the shop where you purchased it to get it checked. If the problem still persist, insist for a new one.
36
On November 3, 2008 @ 10:23 pm Cindy says:

Hi Bridget,
Nope, this phone’s camera doesn’t have flash. And it’s pretty much a basic phone with not much extras. It just has what we all need. Hope this helps. Cheers!
37
On November 3, 2008 @ 10:24 pm Cindy says:

Hi Amy,
Australia BOOST (Optus) only offers RED colour. I don’t think you can get any other colour other that RED here. However, if ever you get the chance to go to the UK, you can purchase Blue or Pink through Orange or O2. Hope this helps!
38
On November 3, 2008 @ 10:27 pm Cindy says:

Hi Wannes,
It’s probably your phone’s problem cause going to the internet is fine for me. However, do check your network coverage and service in the Settings. And usually you can detect the contents in your Memory Card in this phone. However, do bring your phone back to the shop where you purchased. If the problems still persist, insist for a new one. Hope this helps. Cheers!

On November 3, 2008 @ 10:30 pm Cindy says:

Hi King,
If you’re a big movie-watcher, I advice you not to buy this phone as you will get disappointed. Watching movie in this phone is horrible. I have a few short clips in my phone and it lags badly. And you can’t directly transfer your video from the PC to the external memory. I have no idea why it doesn’t detect the External Memory through the USB transfer.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

i give phone rate at 6/10

the phone not so friendly use.
button a bit hard to press.

Power point and the headphone are in the same socket.
headset not using mini jack type. mean you can not buy any headphone to plug in.
the socket is not universal type.

Software site, no comment with this kind of price.
only is the software use to download to PC “LG PC suite” looks not so good compare to Motorola PC suite.

Do you actually have it??
and what rating would you give it?
48
On November 11, 2008 @ 7:10 pm Cindy says:

eBay does sell this phone in different colours, but it costs more. So basically, you’re paying more just for the colour. It’s worth it if you really hate the red. Hehe!

Hey Fern, of course I have the phone. Well, it’s not too bad of a phone- really. I would give it a 6/10. The video really blew some stars off the rating. Oh.. and I found how I can organize photos into folders now! I’m so happy! Finally, time to get organized!

2. Tools: By having explored Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones in the past, this phone has given me a lil’ of a hassle by not being able to have a direct shortcut to the Calendar. I’m a heavy scheduler and constantly use my phone to refer to the calendar. And this phone doesn’t offer that. Hence, I need to go through the main menu –> tool –>organiser –> calendar, JUST to check my exam date!

Either you set one of our 5-directional buttons as the shortcut key to your calendar, or you can add them into your Favourites list and access it from there.

5. File Transfer: When connected to my MacBook with the data cable, I can’t seem to detect my MicroSD memory card, which means I can’t tranfer my data directly to my External Memory.

And this process repeats for numerous times as the phone only offers 15mb of Internal Memory, until I have transferred all my data. What a hassle!

That’s weird. On my laptop (running WinXP), it shows both the phone memory and the external memory card. Your computer’s inability to detect it prolly cos it’s Mac? Am not saying that Mac is bad, am wondering whether it’s because of incompatibility issue.

You sure you transfered to the correct drive? Check it before you transfer. I found out that somehow, it’s pretty misleading. The one that looks like the internal memory drive is actually the external, and vice versa.

On November 22, 2008 @ 10:00 am Kelsey says:

Hi Aimee,

do you have things in your internal memory because if there is too much in that section that could be why your phone wont let you get more things so if you do try transfering it to the memory card before getting more stuff it might work then.

i hope that helps you.

Hi,
I am seriously considering getting this phone but i till have a few concerns, first the colour but if it doesnt come out in pink or blue before christmas i might try ebay.

I’ve just bought this phone the other week and so far I’m loving it. It is so much easier to text with, the camera is clear for a 2mp and it just looks so cool lol

The only downside to it is that it is a bit slow campared to other phones I’ve had in the past, mainly Nokias, and the battery life doesn not last that long especially browsing the web with. Sometimes I get a communcation error but normally would be able to get through to the website after a few tries.

If anyone is having trouble with their sd memory card like not being able to see your images and that from the external memory, I suggest you format it on the phone first, then when you plug in your memory card onto the pc you will see that there are folders on the card called images, sounds, documents etc drag (or copy and paste) your pictures/music into the specific folders and you will be able to see them on your phone. Hope this helps =)

jus pass by 2 comment sth on tis phone
da camera is really great, very sharp, trust me
i dun have any prob wif da memory card thou, when it is connected 2 pc (mine is windows XP), i found tat da removable disk F is internal memory while removable disk G is external one
somehow i find it’s quite hard 2 type, mayb cos my hands r too small and my fingers are short?
i would say i’ll rate it s 6/10 anyway
its a cool phone, but if u expect more, u better think again

Hey Matty and aimee… did you set the usb connection on the fone to mass storage and not leave it on data service. When connecting it first disconnect it from pc then change it the plug in, it should show 2 external storage devices in windows, the one is phone memory and the other is the memory card. Hope I helped.

K now a few questions, how do you enable the wallpaper thing to easily select the people that have sent you a message, I cant figure it out. Oh and anyone know where I can get modded firmware for the fone?

Thanks in advance!

i liked this phone so much… does anyone know how many messages can be store inside the phone? there are feedbacks that the system run slow after storage or 100 messages…
82
On January 17, 2009 @ 5:05 am Rory says:

Yea it does get kinda slow but it can hold a total of 500 on the fone, but you can store them to the external memory 2. but don’t know the limit there… the speed is not a drastic drop tho. I got nearly 200 and its not that bad. I can still use it and that coming from me is something cause I get very impatient quickly.

On January 20, 2009 @ 11:20 pm Rory says:

what do you mean your phone can only view part of it? only a few songs? or only parts of songs? I am guessing the first one. ummmm… that is strange, I neva had that problem. hmmm… will see if I can cause it to happen on mine then figure out how to fix it… give me some time… do you have an email I can contact you on? mine is: romacu200@gmail.com. please dnt spam me…

Cindy, Zefi, (posts 16 & 55), any anyone else who can help

Having a couple of “challenges”:
- have put in an 8gb mem card – phone only recognises 3.6; do you know if this is a phone limitation?
- WinXP problems recognising device, seems to see drives but then drops them; any tips? No more luck with linux either!
- MP3 files when managing to copy them across cannot be seen on the phone; and are not in the MP3 folders, again any tips here?
Grateful for any help here.
Cheers

Hi – I am wondering if anyone can help me with the GMail setup? I have downloaded the app etc, but every time I put in my details to “sign in” it just takes me back to the beginning to sign in again! The gmail ability was half the reason I bought the phone – So I would really like some direction regarding this issue!

If you’re in South Africa – 1. do not buy this phone is it’s a vodafone…it doesn’t connect to any other site than the vodafone site.
2. I had to use a different network’s sim to get online and every website i visited i had to log in every 10mins.
3. The keyboard doesn’t light up clearly in daylight and the 2nd key function is a waste of time!
4. the up arrow selection button and ok buttons don’t work…when you press the up selection key it activates the ok key…this could be a hazard with accidentally deleting items.
5. there is no shortcut key to quickly put the phone on silent
6. It turns itself off

I totally agree with Chris (post 69) it is a SHIT phone…DON’T Buy it!

They say the phone is designed for chatting but it can’t support the load of going online?? It’s a utter load of crap…and who uses two hands for chatting, the keyboard is so badly designed you can’t even try to text with one hand as most of us are accustomed to…
I bought mine on 21 January and i am already annoyed with it…

do NOT buy this phone, its very very laggy and for people in aus, there is no horizontal msn capabilities… if your in U.K tho it should be alright… lucky b!+Ch3s!!! in aus it only comes in red… i want it in blue T_T

I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago & my question is can it play 3gp videos SMOOTHLY?? Because I have loads of HIGH QUALITY avi videos on my computer & I converted them to 3gp using a software called Ultra Mobile 3GP Video Converter. And no matter WHATEVER I tried, when I play the videos on KS360, the’re NOT 100% smooth (the audio is smooth though)! The image kept freezing in the middle of the videos but the audio just kept going on & on until it ends. I don’t get to enjoy the videos!! Well, that SUCKS!! I’m so disappointed.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO PLAY VIDEOS SMOOTHLY ON KS360???

Hey just so you all know i was going to have the phone ages ago when it comes out but was distracted by the c902 sony erricson. well that phone finally broke and so i have got one. I honestly recommend it for the basic user as it is an easily accessable phone. unfortunately with every phone there are drawbacks. there are only two themes, black or white. the speaker (though good quality it is) is not very loud. and also, i still have not found a way to download games. but, there are ways around these. firstly, bluetooth speaker, lyk the sony erricson one. secondly, download songs/games.etc off the internet via computer and usb it onto your phone. but i really recommend it as it is light, robust, doesnt lose signal (as much as a normal phone) and excels for items such as facebook. unfortunately tho, like any phone, the internet charge depends solely on the sim card you use. i am on o2 and have a tarriff so i have unlimited internet use for 85p a day which isnt brilliant but is alot better than the standard tarriff. oh and by the way to move music via comp and phone, open the music folder on the comp which contains the music, open the sound folder on the phone, highlight the music, copy and paste to ur phone! takes ages but works!

I have this phone and it really is thrilling for the first couple of days but I would advise most people not to buy it. It has a few glitches like it freezes alot and also switches itself off. I know I am not the only one experiancingh these problems as two of my friends complain about it aswell and my sister had to take hers back to the shops 5 times and exchange them for new ones as hers gave her many problems.

i’ve got this phone in pinkk but i really wanted it in yellow or red lg should just release all the colours everywhere!!! i only ever hear all the aussie’s complain about the fact that they only get red and they want blue and pink. I really want the green or yellow but unfortunately im stuck with the pink apprently there’s meant to be a purple too! i’d love to see what that looks like. My fones always freezing and doing stupid things with messages and it can’t really cope with me typing to quickly it just spazzes on me and sometimes it just randomly turns of. When i call people sometimes you can’t hear the ring so you have no idea if they have picked up or not. It’s not a great phone. It just looks AMAZINGG but now like everyone in my school has it so there’s nothing special about it any more. Get it if you like the keyboard and you like the fact that it looks pretty. Don’t get it if you want to do alot of stuff with it because frankly it can’t cope!
