TIM has scored an exclusive deal with LG to launch the LG KS360 Messenger phone in Italy, which they are offering as the LG Tribe. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard equipped feature phone is targeted towards “generation Web 2.0,” and among other things also packs a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera, media player, FM radio, Bluetooth, 15MB of internal memory that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.

And that’s about all we can say about this phone. Lack of 3G may kill the deal for many, but for staying in touch with your buddies on the go – it provides a solid bang for the buck. And while we’re talking about pricing, TIM is offering the Tribe for 149 EUR with a contract, which also includes a Windows Live Messenger service that’s free for two months. Afterwards, it costs 3 to 6 EUR a month for continued access…
