LG's crazy KS360 shows no restraint

If there's one way to ruin an otherwise perfectly good handset, it's by equipping it with a disgustingly triband GSM / EDGE chipset. Fortunately, though, this isn't one of those otherwise perfectly good handsets, so we're not going to sweat it too hard. The KS360 from LG made its loud entrance at CommunicAsia this week, featuring a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel cam, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, and a 2.4-inch QVGA display, all wrapped in a rather freakish red and black shell with globule-like controls. Asia's the target market for the device, destined for a wallet-friendly price tag where features like 3G and inoffensive industrial design are apparently optional. Yeah, QWERTY's always nice, but not when we find it physically difficult to look at the keyboard.

I think it's kinda cute. I'd totally buy it if it was the UX-270 (Rumor 2).

Did anyone click the read link to that page? That has to be the most uncomfortable mobile-preview video I've ever seen. The music...the music, it was very pr0nesque. And the guy thought it was a touchscreen because he repeatedly...touched the screen. Overall, the UI (or GUI...idk what purists call it) looked surprisingly usable. Despite the phone's ugliness, if the red were replaced with gray or even white, it'd be a phone I'd use.....assuming it was heavily discounted w/ a contract.

I've seen some ugly tech in my time, and this now ranks amongst them!

Okay, having played with a prototype of this phone, i can tell you that it is without a doubt the most interesting phone out there.

Watch out for LiveSquare ;)
