LG KS660: Design and Features
LG KS660 has the most common type of touch phones’ cases – a mono block unit. Its dimensions are 104.9 x55×14.95mm. It is thin enough for carrying it comfortably in the pocket of jeans or trousers. It could be carried in the pocket of a shirt, if not its weight (110 grams), which is justified by the presence of two radio modules.
The front side of KS660 is almost entirely occupied by the main element of a touch phone – a huge display. It is entirely focused on the management of your fingers. It will take some time to get used to the sensitivity of the sensor, and in general to this type of management.
The screen resolution is 240×400 pixels, with the diagonal of 3 inches. The proportions are ideal for watching videos. The image on the display is bright and rich. Since your phone screen is at the same time the control management unit, it collects fingerprints with an enviable speed. This is practically not noticeable when the display is on, but when it is turned off, all your touches are seen very clearly.
The logo is located directly below the display. By the way some people who like this mobile often say that they would not have bought it only because the phone is LG. And the question is what else do you need from this manufacturer?
In addition to the display, there are normal keys located on the front. Besides being a dialling key, a quick access to the management of two SIM cards, and a Task Manager key, it is also responsible for finding selected applications, and finally, it is a ring-off key.
The facets on the perimeter of the phone are framed by chrome plastic insert. At the right end there is the volume and slot for micro SD memory cards up to 8GB, which is covered with a plastic plug. On the left there is the camera starting key, the lock, the firm connector for all at once (for charging, headphones and soft-cable). For many people the connector may be a negative fact when choosing the phone, because there is not either mini-USB, or support of conventional headphones. I remember how long ago many people were puzzled by the absence of standard connectors in the same Samsung i900. Well there is nothing to be done, these are our Korean manufacturers.
The phone has a Lithium-polymer battery at 950 mA / h. It is simply unrealistic to remove it without any improvised means. I think that even if it is dropped from high altitude the phone battery will remain in place. When you finally remove the battery, you will see, two signed slots for SIM cards that have the same form. Problems with installing and removing the SIM card will not arise.
LG KS660: User Interface
A notable feature of the interface of LG KS660 is the availability of more than one desktop. Switching between them can be conducted across the screen from left to right or right to left. On the speed dial screen, you can place labels of up to 10 contacts. But to be more precise, labels of only 9 contacts can be placed, because one of them, as in push-button phones, will be reserved for voice mail.
The second desktop can accommodate up to 10 preset widgets. You may set yourself the order and arrangement on the two tables, but you can also trust it to the phone, by shaking it a bit.
All items can be secured so that they are not accidentally moved when switching between desktops.
The service information (the level of the network signal for both SIM cards, active mode, maps availability, Bluetooth, battery and time) is displayed on the main screen, not depending which of the desktops you are on. By clicking on the center of this area, you will get a quick setup menu.
Below are the names of the operators, with the selected labels. And at the bottom there are four icons that have access to dialling, phone book, messages, and the main menu. I would like to note that the images or animations for each of the desktops can be different.
The main menu can be presented in two versions, which fundamentally do not differ from each other. This is either a scrolling list or scrolling tabs. Only the effect of appearance is changing: on top or on a side. It looks really good.
LG KS660: Call service
Phone Maps are divided according to two principles: primary and secondary. When dialling a number, unless you choose another one, the call goes from the first SIM card. Naturally, the default settings can be changed, but this phone will ask you to reboot.
You can receive calls and voice calls, have an Internet access from both cards. The phone book can hold 1000 contacts. Do not forget that in addition, you can save another 500 records on both SIM cards. This should satisfy the vast majority of users.
LG KS660: Communications
Bluetooth supports: Basic printing, Serial Port, Dial up, Hands free, Headset, File transfer, Object push. Of course, there are A2DP and AVRCP profiles, which were verified using the headset of Motorola S9. The only disadvantage was that when pairing with the headphones, you can only adjust the volume on the headphones themselves.
LG KS660: Multimedia
The phone is not positioned as a multimedia device by the manufacturer, however, everything is on a decent level.
Music can be rated, in order to sort them subsequently according to that ground. You can listen to music files of following formats: MP3, AAC, AAC +, AAC ++ and WMA. The playback information is displayed on the desktop, or directly on the preset widget.
Radio can boast of saving up to 50 radio stations. Search can be performed automatically or manually using the touch wheel, like in old radios.
LG KS660: Camera
There is a 5-megapixels camera with a maximum resolution of 2560×1920. The quality of pictures is bearable. There will be no need to bring along a digital soap-dish. The size of images with good coverage can reach up to 1.5 MB. And in low-light environment the flash can somehow fix the situation.
The image can be immediately edited. You draw by hand, add a picture, remove red eye, change the background, etc.
Recording is possible with a maximum resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. But the main point is not the resolution, we should not forget about the bit rate and speed of recording. Any handy video converter will show that the image is recorded at a speed of 25 frames with a bit rate of about 700-1000 kb / s, but when viewing the file the perception is not greater than that of 15 fps. And the cubes are very striking. Viewing a picture can be in a horizontal or vertical orientation.
I like your site very much. Will read all. Keep up to excellent writing on it. Thanks
This is quite simply the worst phone I have ever had. It is impossible to dial calls or send sms as the touchscreen normally does not work at all or malfunctions completely. I was given a global warrant in writing by the dealer which LG refuse to honour. They say its false, I asked them if they were at least interested in knowing which one of their dealers was supplying false warranties and they said it really wasnt their problem
Texting is impossible, t9 does not work most of the time or deletes the words, and if you turn of T9, u only have access to the first letter of each number!!! The sound is hopeless and perhaps the only redeeming feature is the camera which is actually ok
Unfortunately I was intending on buying a phone, not a camera and now Im several hundred Euros out of pocket with a phone that is only worthy for the rubbish bin
