Comments

• hi, ive just read he review for the new LG phone and im glad its good because i am thinking of buying one but i coudnt really think to how it worked. if i get one ill rite a review. Posted by kymberly tully , united kingdom
• I own one. Amazing phone. I was just confused when I didn't know what the live square was doing. Does anyone know of any way i can get rid of the little people dancing around with numbers underneath them> there are contacts underneath the little people that I do not know. Posted by Peter, Uk
• From what I can remember, if you dive into the settings you can disable Live Square as well as reset it. I found it filled up with my most frequent contacts, so wasn't a problem. Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
• Hey, I am thinking about buying the phone. but i am so use to the normal type texting buttons. How easy is it to getting use to the GWERTY keyboard? I am wanting a phone that is always on the move with good camera, loud speaker and internet access. Is this the phone? Posted by Lee Kirk, United Kingdom, London
• i want this phone its GORGEOS Posted by megan, england
• im gettin this phone in about a weeks timee is the camera gud?? and wot bout the key-board is it easy to type on it even if its not im still gettin it coz iss bufff loolz xxxxxx Posted by Jasmine, London, UK
• Hi i got this phone today and wanted to let everyone know what its like because i cant find a proper or good enough review.
  
  The keyboard is easy to get to know after about an hour or so .
  For a 2 mega pixel camer the picture is very clear and good.
  The volume is fantastic just as loud as a sony ericson.
  The touch pad is only active when you
  - dial a number and u can type in letter with the touchpad to search a number.
  You cannot text or navigate with the touchpad but it makes no difference.
  
  The camera doesnt have a flash or frames but it does have effects etc.
  The memory isnt very good but a 4gb micro sd card can be inserted.
  The usb gives it an easy way to add songs or photos or documents.
  The menu is stylish and the contacts is easy to see.
  
  Overall id give the phone 10/10
  If you have any other questions just ask and ill respond asap. Posted by Rachel Keaves, Scotland
• I really want a hiptop, can anyone tell me why this would be better than a hip top?? i'm stuck now haha. Posted by bethannie, Aust
• I am replacing my Sony Ericsson w580i with this LG KS360 mobile phone and I would like to know whether or not music taken from a CD is playable on the LG as I know that some mobile phones wont take these songs. Also, is the mp3 player on the LG as good as a Sony Walkman?? Posted by Kirsty, York
• Kirsty - whether you can listen to music ripped from a CD will depend on the format you save it in. MP3 is your best bet. As there is not much internal memory, you might want to put it straight onto a microSD card and slot that into your phone.
  
  Comparing the MP3 player a Sony Ericsson phone will probably come down to the headphones in the box. The LG has no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you'll have to use those provided. The Walkman range of phones are designed for music so the players are pretty good, whereas the KS360 is really designed around text messaging. Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
• Have had this phone for about a week now so have pretty much decided whats good and bad!
  
  - The keyboard is pretty quirky to say the least. At first it was kinda hard to type but now im pretty fast at it - practice makes perfect
  - Camera is average, nothign special but it was never advertised as a camera phone soo it is adequate, although flash would have been nice. Also no cover for actual lens so will probably scratch sooner or later.
  - My only complaint is about the headphones. The volume is sooo quiet, nothing compared to that of a sony ericsson (my previous phone was a Walkman 580i). It would have been been better with a 3.5 mm headphone jack then I could use my own headphones :/
  - I've only just recently discovered the Live Square, at first it confused me because I had strange little people dancing round my screen but now I see its a handy tool to organise people you've been in contact with recently - cute feature!
  - Very aesthetically pleasing and sliding motion is sleek and smooth.
  - Touchscreen when not slide open is available, can only use to input numbers and letters when searching for a contact.
  - Not much memory but can insert up to 4GB MicroSD card
  
  Overall good phone, I'd wouldn't recommend for people who want a really good camera or prodominently music phone but a god alrounder definetely!
  
  7/10

• It Defo Has Msn Actually Named
  Orange Live Messenger
  
  its cheap between price ranges of £70 to £90
  
  touchscreen good
  camera only 2 mega pixels clear and bright i would have said more like 3.2 but obviously not
  
  keypad easy to use
  
  unsure whether can minimize music i dont think so my old sony ericsson could but i dont think LG have progressed that far
  
  in my own opinion the phone is stylish eay to use high quality cheap and utterly amazing in every aspect
  
  memory internal:15 mb
  external: up to 4gb
  Multimedia: mp3/mp4 player
  More: world clock calculator unit converter and something else
  
  but i would reccomend to anyone!!

• New mobile phones = who cares.
  
  "hello Im on my way home"
  
  "great".
  
  What a waste of everyones time and money and tbh they just get fatter and uglier! Posted by Bob Suruncal, UK
• Sorry to people who always have to have the latest phone it really is pointless. Imagine your home phone going under this much rigorous scrutiny - they dont! Its a bit of a joke all they do is talk to people and maybe surf the net or take pictures or play music - whoopedoo - they were doing this 2 years ago surely the best phone is the smallest and lightest with the clearest voice, longest battery life, which looks great . Why do people buy these iphone wannabes which (lets be honest the iphone is too big anyway) are just bricks! 4 years ago the race was on to create thin and slick - nowadays its like weve all gone mad for these massive phones! Posted by Jim Bowen, UK
• Where can i buy this??? its sold out everywhere, does anyone know where i can get a pink one?? Posted by Fifi, Trinidad
• This phone is great.
  I have it but you really need to get a 4GB memory card for it otherwise you can only get like 4 songs on it. Its really good and easy to use and if you go on orange music player while your playing a song and then you can click options and then minimize and then you can do other things.
  Yes headphones are included.
  Orange do the pink one but I prefer the blue.
  Does anyone know that when you add a song on to it of the computer or through bluetooth if you can set it to go straight to the external memory?
  Because other wise you can only fit 3 songs on it then you have to disconnect it and then you have to move them all then start again
  It really is worth buying...
  :D

  Does anyone know of any way i can add or get rid of the names underneath the people on the live square?
  Its really bugging me lol..
  
  I would really apprieciate if someone could help me?? Posted by Gemma, UK
• Had the phone for a week. Had to reset twice as it stopped connecting to bluetooth the first time and the second time the speaker switched off (as though it was using my bluetooth headset), but even switching bluetooth off didn't help.
  
  Its transfer speed using the USB cable is also amazingly slow. The menu system has not been thought out for the slide out keyboard, with too many menu options obviously being set up for quick selection via the (non existent) physical keypad. The camera functions are very annoying, constantly bugging you to send the picture via before you can take another shot. Posted by Robin, UK
• I can't decide about this phone.some people say that is shuts off randomly and breaks and other people say that its great. DOes anyone know if the pink and white one gets dirty really easy cause the back of it is white?? Posted by Savi, Canada
• For f**ck sake people. Its a phone! If you need info look it up, dont use this crap site. Knowone answers! Figure it OUT! Posted by Chunky Mum, Kazakstahn
• What i meant to say was that if you put a question on this site knowone will answer it. If you dont believe me watch this.
  "Can you use live Square if youre not on Orange".
  I bet you the post below this is completely irrelevant. Well, if it is now is the time to get of this site and go onto yahoo answers.
  
  **** Joe-Hill-Summers. Hi Joe. Posted by Chunky Mum, Kazakstahn
• Hey Mum, how's the 'stan? When I tested the phone I used an Orange SIM (as I almost always do), so Live Square worked as it should. I've not tried the KS360 on a different carrier, but I was talking to LG on Monday and they said that the Live Square will be in the 3G successor, the GW520, so I'd say yes. But it is only software, so other carriers could easily remove it. Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
• Ok, im sorry. Theres just so much irrelevant drivle on this site. It gets annoying. Infact, instead of apologizing to you losers im going to thank Chrishall (Chris Hall). But other people should STOP POSTING CRAP. WE KNOW THE PHONE IS GOOD, IT WAS GIVEN 5 STARS, THIS IS TO ASK QUESTIONS.

• Hi my mum bought me this phone for my birthday, it wasn't the phone i wanted, but i'm really chuffed i have it now. It's unusual with good features, all in all i think its a really good phone : ) xx Posted by jemma, Llanelli, UK
• Hey! I've got this phone! It's really good, if you have big thumbs or fingers dont get it though!
  Two Questions:
  -I have it on orange coz it has an orange SIM, but the phone is not locked on orange! Can i still get Live Square, it seems a bit tight if i cant get it, especially as i have actually got an orange SIM in it, could i phone up orange and they would download it onto my phone? PLease Reply soon!!
  -How do you get onto MSN? By MSN i mean windows live messenger! Posted by Laura, Llanelli, UK
• Hi its the Mum here. Laura, LG ks360 doesnt have 3g, so you will need a wifi to get nternet let alone msn.
  And Orange would be reluctant to do anything for a customer beyond answer questions so the likley hood they will download it for you is low.
  
  Also, there was a scissor sisters sond written about someone called Laura. Even though i am a hetro sexual mum i am open to a bit of gay.
  CALL THIS NUMBER FOR A GOOD TIME!
