Can someone please confirm whether MXit runs on this phone? It's the perfect MXit device but it's not listed on the MXit site as a supported device yet and I've read on GSMarena of problems in this regard.

I ordered one for my daughter and she will be very unhappy if MXit fails to work on this phone.

No ...

1) MXit may support it after all
2) If not I can cancel the order if I know soon enough and get something else
3) A new version of MXit may support it soon
4) I keep the phone and get another MXit ready phone.

I have options but I hope 1 and 3 is reality as this device is exactly right for the MXit generation and MXit will be stupid not to get their software to work on it.
 
Thanks RamKat.

MXit's support staff informed me today that we should use the LG KG290 version of MXit on the KS360. The KS360 was delivered today (Cell C Direct) but the SIM will only be loaded with airtime etc on Monday (Control Chat 100).

I must say it looks like a fantastic little device, and for R100 a month I think this is a damn good deal.
 
i saw this phone for R1599 on prepaid but looked on the cell c webste and it does not come up there.
 
Go look under:

Contract -> Deals -> 3rd page scrolling to your right.
 
got it, do you think its better on that contract or prepaid. i would guess contract as you get that free airtime and sms or something, right?
 
I'm a die hard Nokia fan that only looks at the top end of the market but this little gem surprised me. I got it for my daughter and I cannot believe that something as capable as this can be acquired on a R100 a month contract. This is heaven for a 11 year old chatterbox. I was so surprised when I opened the Micros SD card slot and discovered a 1GB card inside ... my E90 only came out with a 512MB card! It's surprisingly small, got a good MP3 player, FM radio, the worx. I played with it a bit and it's a joy to use.

I don't know what quality this phone will end up being (how long it will last) but at this moment I'm very satisfied with this acquisition. I'm considering getting my youngest daughter one too.

For R100 a month - that you get back in airtime and sms's - the Control Chat 100 contract is a steal imo.
 
nice, my 11 yr old chatterbox uses her Samsung E250 for music although she has the ipod nano too, so she can keep that ha ha. i have wanted a touch screen for awhile now after i heard about the iphone but then i heard that it is missing so features so i looked at all the other touch screens but except the iphone clone the others cost a fortune till i saw this one and from what i can make out and what you have just described it is a damn good deal. now to convince the missus about it, she is tired of me whining about changing phones all the time.

hold the bus...did you say you got the 1gig card in the phone too????????????
 
IMO Cell C's got the perfect Christmas deal here. I wouldn't be surprised if they run out of stock soon.

I got mine through Cell C Direct (084 145). I can strongly recommend them. I placed the order on Monday late afternoon and got the phone on Thursday. This phone came without a charger in the box so I phoned them to replace it and they did so the next day (Friday) by courier.
 
nice, i like..hmmmmm what did you pay upfront cause i saw something about R114 connection fee, do you pay this now when you get it.

One GIG! I thought it was a mistake when we got the first one, but the replacement phone came with a 1 GB card too. I wonder if Cell C knows this :D .
