If you'd rather not use the slide-out Qwerty keypad for dialling, there is a curious alternative. On the front of the phone you'll see a key with a symbol of a finger touching a screen, that when pressed offers you the chance to dial via the screen. Bizarrely, this touchscreen functionality, which works well, can only be used for dialling and nothing else.
Performance
Audio quality during calls was loud and clear
without any noticeable muffling or distortion. Battery life lasted for
over two days with moderate use. As there are no heavy-duty features
such as 3G or GPS, the KS360's battery wasn't overwhelmed during our
testing, but battery life will vary depending on how often you use the
KS360.
Conclusion
If you're looking for an all-in-one
super-phone, avoid the LG KS360, because it doesn't have much to offer
in terms of features. What it does offer is a competent messaging
experience that allows you to stay in touch with friends quite easily.
It doesn't have the best Qwerty keypad out there, but it's easier to
compose messages on than most phones.
If you're looking for a phone with more grunt, you may want to check out the HTC Touch Pro, which is about to come out in the UK, the BlackBerry Bold or the Nokia E71 -- all of which come with excellent Qwerty keypads and heaps more features.

Good: not much
Bad: alot
Comment: ok another thing. i am attempting to type a number into it. the menu says ... games vodafone live apps photo message folders extras directory call historyweb search music settings. at no point in the interface is the mention of the phone being a phone. underneath there is a little keypad button, i press it, nothing happens. that is my definition of a crap OS. a crap OS is where they make you press 10 buttons and read 20 different icons before you can do somehting simple like "comment" or "phone"... besides android should join the market for old people, who are abundant and create a simple OS. with big letters.

Good: looks
Bad: complicated, too small, keyboard letters are dark silver on black
Comment: Thanks that was a good review, definitely. My aunt has one of these and i had a go at using it. she has had it 4 months she doesnt touch it at all. to use it, you have to type in a code on a dodgy touchscreen, press 2 buttons to unlock it, that;s about 8 buttons pressed to use the phone every time. then when you get in the menu, you cant use the touchscreen which means its cumbersome and annoying. i cant believe someone sold this phone to a 67 year old tech noob old lady. and why does cnet not have anonymous comments and a captcha, look only 3 comments no one is bothering joining.
