Reviewer: John - London, UK

The LG KS365 is an upgraded version of the popular KS360 which sparked the use of the qwerty slider phones we see today. Sadly I don't think that this phone lives up to the standards its predecessors' have set.

It is basically there to bring more money using the KS360 design, but with the increasing demand for smartphones nowadays, it hasn't really worked.

The phone itself has only changed in looks, the 4 separate directional buttons have been scrapped & replaced by a ring with four arrows on it. I personally find this to be ugly, it looks like LG have taken pieces of a calculator & put it on a phone that was fine the way it was.

The camera is the same as the KS360, the touch screen that was used solely for touch dialling has not been improved, the keypads is also virtually the same (I must however admit that this was a good decision, the KS360 had the best keyboard of its time), the networking has been upgraded to EDGE connectivity which is not really very convincing in today's world. I must admit however that I have not tried this phone but I used to have a KS360 & the ease of use was good

To conclude, I do not see the point of re-shaping a popular phone which has exactly the same features inside. I would recommend purchasing a KS360 from the web as it would offer you the same specifications for half the price due to the time it has spent on the market.
