The LG KS360 mobile phone appealed to me from the second it grabbed my attention. With its QWERTY keyboard built to make texting easier and faster, it certainly was a phone which intrigued me. Launched in 2008, it was a good seller, with enticing features such as 2mp camera, touch screen dialling and Bluetooth. It also has quite a large screen, and it holds memory cards. However, I was one of those who bought this particular phone, and sadly it didn’t reach the heights at which I had hoped it would. I felt that there were more negatives than positives with this phone. There is quite a low internal memory (15MB), there is no headphone socket and the QWERTY keyboard becomes quite irritating.For the first few days, I constantly used the phone, and at the start, I didn’t realise anything wrong with it. However, as time went on, I began increasingly frustrated with the QWERTY keyboard, which slid to the side when used to text. When I bought this phone, I thought that this feature was interesting and different; one in which I felt I could get used to. Alas, I was wrong. After a few weeks, I realised that I had become quite fed up with this phone, but could not justify buying a new model of phone, as there was nothing physically wrong with the phone...at the time!
As time progressed, my patience wore thinner and thinner with this phone. Letters seemed to jump spaces while I text, and the phone switched itself off fairly regularly over a short period of time. It was sent away, and I expected it to be in perfect working order after this. However, this unfortunately was not the case. After a month or so, it began to switch off unnecessarily yet again. I am now pretty certain that my patience will not last much longer with this phone, as it certainly hasn’t lived up to the expectation that I had wished it had.
To conclude, the LG KS 360 does have some good, enticing features, but to be honest I would highly recommend customers to not buy this phone. Believe me, the fascination of using a QWERTY keyboard to text will wear off quite rapidly!

I 'treated' myself to this phone before Christmas...
ReplyDeleteIt is impossible to text and walk at the same time for fear of falling over from lack of balance, two hands on the QWERTY keyboard is hilariously awkward..
The letters do skip over each other when texting is finally attempted...
The memory is miniscule...
My new phone promptylu found itself in a drawer in my bed-side locker, and my sister's old phone was resurrected for use once again.
I nodded in unison throughout this blog SW!!
