    5 Stars LG Chocolate as silky smooth as it's name implies 11/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Touch sensitive, Great looking, lots of cool extras

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life below average, Slideing design makes it feel just a tad flimsy

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't like phones. I don't like the interruption, I don't like the costs, and I don't like having to talk to someone I can't see. However, it seems I am alone in this, and the whole rest of the world loves them. One thing I DO like however is experiences. Those one off moments, those first times, those "just because" features. And let me tell you, owning "Chocolate" is an experience. I decided a new phone was necessary once my old one (A Siemans SF 65 which I reviewed previously) finally gave up the ghost. Having chosen a phone based on style over ... more

    5 Stars Mmmm.. Chocolatey Review with images 25/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Heat Sensitive Touch Screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not such a good camera..!

    So here I am again writing about yet another mobile phone..! My little shiny Motorola K1 finally gave up the ghost this weekend, after 15 months of sending too many texts in a day and generally getting bashed about..! So just to tide me over between now and getting a contract phone, after much persuasion I decided to get a little cheap phone. Which came 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 ... more

    5 Stars Tastes as good as it sounds! 24/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages attractive design, small enough to fit in pocket, good mp3 player

    Disadvantages 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… The Look ----------- The Chocolate LG is all about looks. Its slim (small enough to fit into your pocket without causing an unsightly bulge), sleek and pleasing to the eye ... more

    4 Stars Life's Good for Chocolate Lovers! 26/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sleek and smart, lots of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Keypad doesnt light up in the dark and a bit fiddly!

    After having my previous mobile phone for 7 years it was a lovely surprise 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 on the phone there is a little black button with a red phone image on the ... more

    4 Stars Yummy but Vanilla Chocolate 09/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks great, feels nice in the hand, great value, bluetooth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Easy to hit the wrong button, Annoying lttle quirks

    I will qualify this review by explaining that I only paid forty pounds for this phone, with t-mobile Pay As You Go, at Phones for You, Carphone Warehouse had it for 40 so I managed to get phones 4 you to sell it to me for 40 instead of the advertised 45 pounds (carphone warehouse only had them in pink and i wanted the black one). Anyway, as I have paid 40 pounds for the phone I am more inclined to rate it highly than if I'd paid 200 pounds which, from reading the reviews, seems to have been the price of this phone when it first came out! Right, so on with the review.... Out of the Box, The ... more

    4 Stars Good looks and brains, but no staying power 11/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Aesthetics, message memory, menus, large colour display

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Over- and under-sensitive controls, battery flattens too easily

    ***edit*** It's worth noting that I have now been using a standby Nokia for a week and a half as, during the wet weather recently, my phone up and stopped working. Completely. Though fully recharged, nothing can convince it to turn back on. It didn't get wet, or dropped, or anything - it just went mental and then died a couple of weekends ago after being in my handbag when it was raining. No-one's been able to fix it yet. Pray continue*** I was lucky enough to get this phone on contract, and it arrived a week later in the famous Chocolate Box (which they scent as well - George, so suave!). The ... more

    3 Stars LG chocolate Pink Eye Candy! 24/09/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Pretty, stylish, reliable, space for music, photos and videos

    Disadvantages 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 is great to carry around if I forget to charge my phone and the battery runs out!! When I first started using the phone it took a bit of getting used ... more

    4 Stars Sleek and good-looking 24/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very stylish looking, good features

    Disadvantages 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. Features; 1.3 mega pixel camera, with flash and 4x zoom. The quality of photo is good, I find the photo's I have took are sharp and clear. Video camera. MP3 player with a 128mb ... more

    3 Stars For chocolate lovers! 15/09/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages small + great choice colours + cheap + great features for its time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dies completely when in contact with liquids + tempermental touch screen

    The LG Chocolate was released in the UK in May 2006 and when it was released it was available in Fuscia Pink and Black only. Later other colours were introduced to the brand which included Lilac, Burgundy and White. The phone was favoured by many females at the time due to the Fuscia Pink version (I will also admit the colour sold the phone to me as well!) as well for its partial touch screen (which at that time you didn't see on any other mobiles) and compact appearance. I remember having this phone on contract a couple of years ago when my daughter was a baby. Unfortunately the phone didn't ... more

    1 Star Really that tasty?!? 25/06/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks fairly stylish.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Where to start...

    Good Points This phone has a nice design and looks stylish! but don't be fooled... Bad Points Where do I start?! I'm coming to the end of my 1 year contract (thank god!) in that time I've had the phone replaced once - because the display completely went wonky throwing up funny colours or just a blank white screen, with the camera showing funny colour pigments - and also I've had it repaired once - because of the same problem again. Other problems I've come across (but haven't bothered reporting to o2 because I cant be bothered waiting up to 14 days for them to fix it when they cant even ... more
