LG makes some of the most practical, feature-specific phones in the market. We saw that with the LG KU250 and the LG KP500 targeting a single specific feature at an affordable price. The LG KS360 is an attempt to take full qwerty messaging to the masses.
Before we talk about the highlights of the phone, be reminded that the KS360 is somewhat an entry-level phone and thus do not have all the bells and whistles one would expect — there’s no WiFi, no 3G or GPS inside, just Bluetooth — so you can stop right here and move on to the next page if those are a must for you.
However, if you’re willing to reconsider this handset for the sake of the full qwerty keypad and the price tag, then you may continue reading this review.
The LG KS360 has a 2.4″ (240 x 320 pixels) with multi-directional keys along with the standard function keys (see photo above). Along with that, there’s an extra key to enable touchscreen-dialing (hand symbol on lower left side). This special key activates a virtual numeric keypad so you can dial numbers by tapping on the screen.
In that mode, only a numeric keypad is available so you can’t do SMS, just voice calls. The screen has haptic feedback and is very responsive (similar to the LG Cookie) and easy to use.
The qwerty keypad slides from under to the right so rotation to the landscape position is clockwise. Though it’s not a big deal, this means that the navigational keys are positioned with your left hand and not the right hand. My first impression when I discovered this was the handset was meant for lefties.
The keypad is well-spaced from each other and each individual keys are circular and raised (embossed) a bit so typing is easier — you don’t end up using your fingernails instead of your fingers (but that really depends on how big your fingers are).
The slider is snappy and fits right well into the keypad. There is no accelerometer in here but the  screen automatically re-orients into the landscape mode when the slider is out.
As LG suggests this model works best with the mobile messenger eBuddy, I tried downloading it using the EDGE connection of the KS360. True enough, the qwerty keyboard made mobile messaging much easier (not just for the KS360 but most other qwerty phones as well).
The phone has a built-in FM tuner and MP3 player. The audio quality is decent and loud enough but still in mono so it doesn’t have that umph. The speaker is found at the back just above the camera. The music player looks nice and loads/plays the songs in a jiffy.
The camera is 2 megapixels (1600×1200 pixels) and doesn’t have autofucos so I don’t it expect to capture any good photos.
The LG KS360 is labeled under the fashion category and like the LG Cookie, it’s targeted to a specific segment, probably teens who are crazy about text messaging and/or chatting. It’s obviously not for people like me who require connectivity features but it may attract those who are looking for very affordable qwerty phones.
With a price tag of Php8,900 and comes in the color pink, I would not second-guess it.

also, yung pc suite ba nito eh may backup messages functionality?? sobrang important kasi tlga sakin na nbback up ko pa rin kahit yung mga past messages ko..
thanks!

eeyan says:
I liked the phone when I first saw this…after a few weeks i lost interest…sa sbrang ganda ng mga features nya,ndi kaya ng system kya mbagal..this phone can multi-task kso sbrang bagal na nya, for example,playin’ mp3 at the background while ur textin’..ndi nhhabol ng system ung letters na tntype ko which is hindi nmn ako gnun kabilis mgtxt..ung slide ok nmn (from portrait to landscape) what i liked most about this phone is ung speakers,its loud enough for everyone to hear inside a big classroom,document viewer (.txt file format) you can save all your text messages and the phone will save it in .txt format so you can save and open it on your computer using notepad..ung world clock nya,sobrang interactive,picture editing ( you can do face warps =)).
Honestly, im not a satisfied consumer of this phone..i dunno if other KS360 users also experiences this…3x ko na dinala sa service center ung phone ko and i just bought this phone last may 22 of this year…reasons?
-auto reboot
-static noise sa fm radio
-lags
-screen display hangs
-cant change bluetooth receive directory (meaning for example, you wanted to receive 8 mp3 songs from ur friend’s cellphone through bluetooth..ndi mo pde ibahin ung directory na i-save ung 8 mp3’s na un sa micro sd…remember,maliit lng ang phone memory ng KS360 so hassle sya sakin,u have to save 2-3 mp3’s first sa phone memory then transfer it to my micro sd then the rest..
I just went to LG service center a while ago (Pasig)..they asked me to leave my phone there so they could actually see the problem and then they gave me a temporary service unit (phone).
For KS360 users,if you have other problems with the phone,please do share. Thanks!

Eduardo says:
About the phones… how come not a single mobile phone manufacturer has integrated an AM component to any of its units? I think AM is more important than FM – Most news networks use AM – FM is mostly music, and with MP3 capabilities, having FM (as opposed to AM) is almost pointless.

Roisin says:
@ Julie
You can listen to music (not radio) while doing other things – go into options and choose minimise. Push the hang-up button to stop the music. (just thought i’d tell you that.) I have this phone – love it to bits.
@ Orange
The camera’s pretty good – no autofocus, flash or zoom though. The thing is, I only use it if I don’t have a proper camera with me anyway, which isn’t very often.
You can store documents, music, videos and pictures – but I would highly recommend getting a microSD for this as the internal memory is only 14 megabytes so it hold about two songs if your lucky.
You can connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. You can also use Bluetooth. Both these methods work fine with my Mac and PC – I much prefer Bluetooth though, as I don’t like using too many wires (I only have so many USB ports)
I absolutely love this phone (especially the QWERTY keyboard as I’m on a free text anytime plan from boost). It goes (here in Australia) for about AU$200 which is good – I had money leftover! (I saved up about AU$250.

Ochie says:
just bought mine the other day.
ok sya ha. mukhang hindi ko pagsisisihan toh. yun lang, hindi mo macustomize yung themes. wallpaper lang kayang palitan.
sounds – malakas sya. at may sariling volume ang message alert.
memory card – i’m using a 4gb micro sdhc, no lags and hang ups so far..
qwerty – medyo hirap pa ako sa mabilisang text, kasi hindi ako sanay sa layout ng buttons at symbols. nakakalito lang kung san ko hahanapin yung symbols, hehe.
design – small and handy rin sya. magaan at kasya naman sa bulsa. not that thick na akala ng karamihan pag nakikita sa pic at internet.
slide mechanism – tight at feeling hindi masisira agad (tignan ko pa ha, kakakuha ko lang kasi nito)
camera – malinaw, no autofocus. sa low light naman, may mga kuha ako na satisfactory naman.
video – satisfactory rin! ok na ok naman sya :)
display – clear and vibrant colors
wap is fast (i’m using suncellular)
cons:
-no document viewer, hindi rin pwede mag-edit.
-no delete button (you have to select options first then delete)
-when minimizing the mp3 player, you still have to select options then minimize.
hhmmm.. ano pa ba.. overall, so far on it’s 3rd day on me, i am 100% satisfied with it’s performance and design. since i’m not a heavy wlan user, hindi ko inasam ang wlan feature niya para manghinayang :)
ask me na lang kung may iba pang tanong. hindi ko pa kasi nakakalikot ng husto eh.
orange says:
and also, how’s the camera’s performance?
can I store music, videos and files in here?
can I also connect it to ny laptop through USB?
orange says:
Are you familiar with the Nokia5300 XpressMusic.
Is KS360’s features just the same with that?
Josh says:
Hey abe:P I plan on getting this phone! :P Well hesitating, since I’m a “text addict” and a soon to be teen (I’m only 12, hehe:P) I’m not really into those flashy wifi stuff, first of all: come on! i prefer surfing the internet using a computer! and music? havent u people heard of an ipod:P!!! heheheh, but my only concern is, is the browser good enough for facebook? heheh, i’m an avid facebooker!:P
Jek says:
just want to know, does it have a document viewer?
i’m thinking of buying this phone, and i’m hoping that i can create/edit documents with it. :)
Ochie says:
Hello Sir Yuga! Thanks for sharing!
I will definitely get this phone! Pang text lang, hihi! Other “important” features is not an issue for me since I’ve got other phones that has the features I’ve already want and need.
Abe Olandres says:
@julie, I tried making calls with it but have not encountered the lag you mentioned. That could be attributed to network signal strength which is independent of the phone. At that price point, I didn’t expect the processing unit can handle multi-tasking.
@reynaldo, as I said to julie, no multitasking. And no Android OS in it too.
reynaldo says:
@yuga, thanks for acknowledging.
ang hirao maghanap ng matatanungan tungkol sa phone na ito. Buti pa si Abe, lahat na ata ng phone dumadaan sa kamay niya.
I really am interested in this phone. the feature it provides hits what im looking for.
my concern now is re: multitasking and software support available(much like in Symbian where you can find multitude of people talking about it).
and, does this phone run on ANDROID OS? or if doesn’t can we install it here? coz accdg to some internet aricloes, this phone was re-released with a new OS (android).
julie says:
i read from reviews that this phone has a few seconds delay when youre doing an outside calls.. meaning, you will tend not to hear the ringback tone or a dial tone when you call someone..
and also, they said this phone is not a multi tasking unit. users cannot text while listening to mp3..
have you tried this phone already? please reply.. im planning to purchase this phone on saturday..
thanks
Abe Olandres says:
@reynaldo, yes, forgot to mention that it has the alternative keys (via Fn). And EDGE is wireless connectivity just under 3G. Not too fast but same rates as 3G.
reynaldo says:
finally. hmm.. btw, yuga, the O,K,L, and M buttons can actually be used to be the navigational buttons.
hmm.. i really find texting in my nokia 1600 and nokia 6600 a pain. though, i am not a text addict or someone close to that, i really am buying the comfort of having a qwerty phone. i myt as well buy this.
anyway, i dunno about connecting thru edge. is that for free? how is that?
Abe Olandres says:
@kevin, haven’t seen anything close to this in its price range.
Kevin says:
not bad for the price range.
abe, do you know any other brands with the similar type of phones?
and also with the price range of the lg ks360.
Abe Olandres says:
@chester – I believe all colors are available locally.
chester says:

for those who want wi-fi and are on a budget I would suggest that you get the E63 since it’s cheap and has most of the bells and whistles, a little more gets you the 5800 which I have and I really wnjoy using it for web surfing :) so there hahaha the LG is more for teens/tweens and text addicts.

I like the small size and slide-out QWERTY keypad. It’s really affordable, too. But I think I shouldn’t get this because of its mediocre camera and lack of WiFi. I really wanted something under 20k, could you suggest something similar to this? :)

@herbert – of course, I didn’t get the pink one for review. hehe
Reel Advice says:
The Wifi is really the big issue – even for me. But looking at the price, the features it has are pretty decent already.

Comes in pink? Bakit black ang nakikita ko?

what’s with QWERTY/touch screen phones with NO WI-FI? come on. I’m willing to pay a few extra thousand bucks for wi-fi. though most probably aren’t…
