LG Chocolate KG800

...before I first saw the LG Chocolate. From that very first moment I was smitten. It's dashing good looks had won me over, and once again, I was destined to buy a "fashion" phone. Thankfully this time, the choice was a good one. The phone does everything I could want from a phone, and then some, and looks oh so good doing it. The chocolate experience starts even before you get the phone in your hand. After unpacking the ugly brown shipping box which ...
...you are presented with the LG logo, and ubiquitous "Life's Good" slogan. This alone is one of the phones many "Experiences" which I enjoy so much. Once you are done admiring and feeling the wonderful packaging, and finally open the magnetically sealed latch at the front, you first see the phone... or rather, the phone's cloth bag. Open this and you reach the phone within, and it is then that you realise this is something more than just a little bit ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

...in the shape of an LG chocolate.. Very cute and sweet looking phone, and not too bad on features considering the small price..! A few days seems like a life time when you have a dead phone, a partially dead phone and you are slightly excited to get something new..! I'm somewhat of a lover of mobile phones.. I think I've had more mobile phones in the past 8 years of my life than most of my friends..! == So, why did I choose the KG800? == Well for ...
...box, which inside held the LG box with my phone in..! The actual company box.. Is small and square with a picture of the phone on both of the larger sides showing off the design of the phone, the red arrows features obviously reflecting the red arrows on the actual phone's touch screen heat pad. The top and bottom of the box had all the details about IMEI numbers are barcodes, everything that the manufacturers provide to get the phone going..! Either ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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… The Look ----------- ...
...easy to text - the LG has the predictive text feature as well as the keypress. The buttons aren't raised making it hard to know if you've actually pressed it or not. It does take me a bit longer to text now but I suppose it'll get better with time. The large screen will also hold up to 8 lines of text making it easy to read a text in one go. Camera --------- Not one of the best camera I've seen but it does generally take clear pictures of a good ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

...to have been given the LG Chocolate KG800 at Christmas last year from my parents. You can get them for around 100 pounds depending on where you shop! I was actually pretty scared when I saw the light up 'buttons and the slide function! As I said... my old phone was a brick! This phone however is very sleek, slim and really does look fantastic. I am aware that the phone is available in black or pink - I own the black version. To initially switch ...
...introductory video type multimedia from LG as a welcome. Also underneath this button is another to quickly go to camera and mp3. These functions I've found are pretty good and when you slide the front section of your phone up and look at the back you will find your little camera! The camera function I have used a handful of times and it's ok, not fantastic but you do get a range of options to change the brightness, size, timer, quality, white balance, ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

...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 ...
...alone. Bluetooth Have only used bluetooth for connecting to other phones, this worked fine. Haven't tried it with a headset. The Internet I tried using the internet just to see if it worked. It did work, but it's not for me - a bit too fiddly, for me, better left to a computer and full size monitor, methinks. Battery Life Upon first using the phone it was sucking the battery dry in an alarmingly quick time (few hours). However, in subsequent ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

...- 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, ...
...should be warned that the LG charger adheres to the Chocolate's whole slimline aesthetic and there'll be few chances to borrow batteries and chargers in emergencies. Your LG can become incapacitated alarmingly quickly by doing what it is designed for. The web browser, oddly, seems to require less power and can be used for much longer. The web capabilities are not out of the ordinary but are very good for moderate use (e.g. I use mine constantly ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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 ...
...my phone and the battery runs out!! When I first started using the phone it took a bit of getting used to. The touch pad/buttons are very sensitive to touch. Sliding the phone up activates the touch pad, how ever, the buttons do not react to objects or materials - for example if your phone slid up by accident inside your handbag, it will not press the touch buttons. They react to the heat of your body/fingers. This needs a bit of getting used to ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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. Features; 1.3 mega pixel camera, ...
...good, I find the photo's I have took are sharp and clear. Video camera. MP3 player with a 128mb memory, I find that its possible to get about 30 songs on it, it supports other formats of music, not just MP3- The player is very loud and clear- and the phone's speakers are exceptional. The only downside is that it doesn't have a memory card slot- so the memory isn't expandable. There's a quick button on the side of the phone- which when pressed will ...

...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! ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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 ...
...alot but i still need to chage it every other night.This is my opinion though i know of people the would love to have my phone and love having this phone. I have just found this phone to be more hassel that it is worth. But i must admit it is a good looking phone and if you want a phone for its looks i dont think they get much better than this. Features; 1.3 mega pixel camera, with flash and 4x zoom. The quality of photo is poor, I have found that ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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 ...
...accord. The menus are easy to understand and are set out in a user friendly manner. It comes with MP3 player, camera, video recorder and the usual extras. The MP3 player is very good and the memory of the phone is big enough to store ample songs on. The clarity of the music is much improved by using the headphones and I feel that the volume of the phone without the headphones is not very loud. The camera and video recorder are functional but not ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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! The black makes ...
...and two different shades of pink) The red lights showing through add that little touch of something special and even the keypad is checked ever so slightly using dark grey and black buttons I've had my phone for about 3 months now and scratches have appeared on it but considering I live with 3 other younger siblings who find it funny to throw my phone down the stairs it's in great condition! There is one problem with the whole look, the heat sensitive ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

...you might expect with a LG product. The phone has been around a while now but few phones look as good as this one,I put a sunset photo i took in Hawaii on as wallpaper and it simply looks great. Disadvantages? well very few,but there are some. The stand by time of the battery is very good but when in use it runs down quite quick, (i notice that this phone is sometimes sold with a second bat as standard so LG have noticed the problem,look for later ...
...lit touchpad i suspect. Also, LG use a one port sustem, charger,earphone etc all use the same socket and its not good, after a while the charger at least gets a loose fit and can sometimes fail to charge if you dont look out for it. I thought the case might get scratched very easy but that has not proved to be a factor in the year ive been using this phone. The clear plastic cover is well worth getting if you use the phone in a harsh envioriment ...

Review of LG Chocolate KG800

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 ...
...I prefer the black one, because on the other colours, when slid down, you can see the arrows (the red lights). I originallu set off to buy the white one, but got put off by this and turned to the black one. The red one is not a very nice red and the pink is very bright, which could be appealing to teenage girls. The touch screen takes some getting used to. It deactivates when the screen is slid down. The phone is easy to slide up and down, but ...

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, ...
