Advantages: attractive design, small enough to fit in pocket, good mp3 player Disadvantages: can take a while to get used to
Ever since the Chocolate LG was released and I saw the first adverts I knew I wanted this phone. At a price tag of over £200 though I decided that I'd wait a while and buy one when they got a bit cheaper. But the situation arose last week where my friend was selling hers as she didn't like it and I jumped at the opportunity and bought it off her for £80 - she bought it for £180!
So here is my review of this delicious phone…

Advantages: Looks great, feels nice in the hand, great value, bluetooth Disadvantages: Easy to hit the wrong button, Annoying lttle quirks
...really easy. Using the LG software is not for the faint hearted. There are no instructions provided. To get it to work you have to enable the modem on the phone before you connect and make sure you have installed modem drivers on the PC. What you eventually get is pretty basic contact synchronization software, plus software for adding extra wallpapers and ringtones to the phone. Also some internet connectivity software which I've had a quick look ...

Advantages: Aesthetics, message memory, menus, large colour display Disadvantages: Over- and under-sensitive controls, battery flattens too easily
...- George, so suave!). The LG Chocolate really is as beautiful as its adverts, and its slimline design is a definite advantage, but the touchpad is nearly always oversensitive and can drive you nuts as you will be regularly finding yourself in the wrong menu.
There are also 2 keys on either side of the phone (power on/off, volume etc) exactly where you need to grip it and it is frustratingly easy to wipe out text messages, hang up on people by mistake, ...

Advantages: Pretty, stylish, reliable, space for music, photos and videos Disadvantages: needs some time to get used to, texting not easy.
When I first saw the LG chocolate in black I though wow that's a cool phone, when I saw it in pink I had to get one! The phone does look beautifully bright colored and stylish.
It has a camera, bluetooth, USB connection, MP3 and volume buttons on either side and a nice little hidden place to use for the phone charger, headphone and USB lead. So it has no visible 'holes' anywhere!! I also got mine with an extra battery and a battery charger so it ...

Advantages: Very stylish looking, good features Disadvantages: Highly sensitive touch buttons
This phone is most commonly known as the 'LG Chocolate' and scores a perfect 10 for looks! The name 'Chocolate' comes because when the phone is closed and not in use it looks just like a bar of chocolate!
The phone is available in black or pink and boasts touch sensitive buttons which glow red when you are using them, When you are not using them the keypad locks. Its got a dark LCD screen and a stylish siver finish.

Advantages: Looks fairly stylish. Disadvantages: Where to start...
...phone, I wouldn't recommend the LG Chocolate because although its beautifully shiny when you buy it...within a few weeks (even with being careful) mines was showing scratches and looked worn - and just touching it covers it in fingerprints - my phone is black and always looks grubby from fingermarks etc. Had sooo many problems with this phone and they definitely outweigh any positives! I personally cant wait to get a new phone! ...

Advantages: Great looking Disadvantages: Terrilbe keypad lock
This phone really looks the part!Bit of a pitty about the phone.
I havent seemed to ge along with this phone, the main problem is to activate the keypad all you have to do is press a button on the side of the phone, i have found out through high phone bills that this button can easily be pressed when in a pocket and dial a number.
The video quatiy seems to be poor and the memory is terrible compared to phones priced the same. I have had this phone ...

LG Chocolate Review ofLG Chocolate KG800by

Advantages: Very stylish, slim design, good MP3 player and good storage Disadvantages: menus can be accessed accidentally when using the phone due to the sensitivity of the touch screen
I have been using this phone for about a month now. I really like the phone, it is very sleek and stylish and is nice and slim and can be fitted into a pocket or handbag without taking up all of the room.
The touchscreen is very good, it is heat sensitive and does not activate accidentally, however, when it is activated, it does tend to have a mind of its own and can be frustrating. It takes a bit of getting used to and you can easily go into the ...

Advantages: Good memory (considering no memory card) Disadvantages: Very sensitive touch screen
The LG Chocolate KG800, I ordered it from the O2 shop on contract, a very acceptable £25 a month for a 750 texts and 750 minutes including internet usage, I was pleased. The phone even came in what look like a chocolate box!
The Look
Very nice slim design (dimensions: 95 x 48 x 15.2 mm) I liked the way it could just sit neatly into your pocket without looking as if you have some strange growth on your leg - and I wear skinny jeans!

Advantages: Sleek, sexy, stunning. Good features. Disadvantages: Pricey, fingerprints show up easily, camera takes a while to use.
Sleek stunning modern design with cool features.
Whats not to love.
Has to be the most attractive phone on the market.
It has a 1.3 megapixel camera (which i must say takes sharp and brilliant pictures), video camera, mp3 player, bluetooth, great response time, 128 MB shared internal memory, USB 1.2 mass storage support and lots of other things expected to be on a modern phone.
I bought mine last christmas at £150, prices have gone down since ...

Advantages: Stylish Disadvantages: Scratches easily and unresponsive
As an extreme lover of all things shiny and pink, I was very happy that this phone was a "free" upgrade option on my traiff. unfortunately I have only ever been just satisfied with this phone, I think most of that is still just at the novelty of it being pink.
The phone itself, is light weight and the slide function is very good. But I found the touch screen to be very unresponsive after about a week. The cancel / clear button nearly stopped working ...

...marks quite a lot, however LG have cleverly included a little pad thing that attaches to the phone that can be used to clean the phone very well. The phone also comes in a velvet pouch; this protects the phone from scratches and also looks good.
EXTRAS
The phone has a currency converter and size/weight (etc.) converter in the tools. This works well and can be very useful for converting items. There is also a calculator and an alarm clock (although, ...

Advantages: Presentation, touch buttons in moderation Disadvantages: Finicky buttons and prone to breakage
...gone to mobile heaven.
However, the LG Chocolate KG800 is not all that it seems. The first flaw that I found was the finicky nature of the touch buttons that quickly got on my nerves as I tried to scroll around my phone. The second flaw was that, 3 weeks after my purchase, the phone refused to switch on, even after 5 days of obsessive putting-it-on-the-charger-and-constantly-trying-to-switch-it-on activity. I stormed angrily to the Orange Phone ...

...I have a couple of LG products at home that have presented no problems.
However, since she received it a year ago there has been nothing but problems with it. When trying to use the phone her signal is almost non existent. I am on the same network with a Nokia phone and have no problems so it obviously wasn't a network coverage problem.
After about five months the first major problem materialised. When switching the phone on the screen was just ...

...strongest selling point of the LG KG800 has to be it's appearance. It's a real show-stopper with it's sleek, slide up case and red backlight. It's truly a "show-off" phone - I've lost count of the number of times I've taken my phone out in public and it catches someone's eye. Apart from it's looks on the plus side it has a good memory capacity, easily set out menus so navigation theoretically should be simple, a good bluetooth connection, it's easy ...

design and illuminated keyboard. It also includes a 1.3-megapixel camera with a 4x zoom and built-in flash. The KG800 is a tri-band mobile with all the necessary tools for easy communication, including SMS, MMS and e-mail. It also has an MP3 function which allows you to listen to your favourite music. With its futuristic design and user friendliness, you can communicate effectively and in style with the KG800!
feature-rich, slim LG KG800 phone is designed with minimalism in mind and will become a must-have handset for those that value fashion as well as function. With a look and feel totally dissimilar to any previous handset, the LG KG800 phone is the first product from LGs premium series of mobile phones that combine fantastic styling with cutting-edge technology. The LG KG800 phone which has been launched in Korea last November has already sold over 300,000 units in 3 months and won two European design awards (iF Design Award and Red dot Design Award for its unique styling and user interface). And the LG KG800 certainly is a best-seller in its home country. It's become a favourite phone for the rich and famous, appearing in the hand (and pocket) of top celebs. Why? Well, the phone cleverly blends modern styling with useful features. When the slide-up design is closed, you'll notice a high-quality display screen and a handful of touch-sensitive keys for controlling essential functions. They glow red when they're being used and fade into the background when they're not needed. Slide the phone open and there's a standard keypad, along with a wealth of useful functions including an alarm clock, calendar, calculator, photo editor and games. The LG KG800 is also an MP3 player, with 128MB of memory providing plenty of storage space. In addition, the back of the phone contains a 1.3 megapixel camera for photos and videos. All this and Bluetooth connectivity as well. If you're looking for stand-out style without compromising on usability, you'll appreciate the LG KG800. It certainly is a tasty little camera phone!
