FOR ERIC!!!!!!!!unless you live in california,nevada,or washington do not buy this phone! reason why is because this phone does not support cingular wireless's 850mhz frequency in the rest of the states. The mentioned states happen to use 1900mhz so it would not be a problem there...i'm telling you, your reception will be in the low 10% while being next to someone with a cingular phone who's phone is up at 100% right on the same spot next to you....is a state thing not a cingular thing... :)

If your having trouble connecting the phone to your PC, try making sure that the phone's screen is on before plugging it in.
The other thing about the C key, i've not had any problems with mine, all of the keys are responsive for me. I have found that if you press the end call button (on the right hand side of the phone) you are taking straight to the home screen so you may not need to press the C button repeatedly to get back to the homescreen.
Still a kick ass phone though :)

I just got the phone a couple of days ago...It was the first phone since years I really liked for its design.
I have to say it's great. It is easy to use, but even though there were some drawbacks about this phone after reading the posts here, I still bought it and I still have no regrets (for now).
I'll just get straight to the problems I have occurred:
- The pc synch has been a big problem for me, it's because an earlier post said you have to turn on the modem in the menu of the phone (p82) and then plug the phone to the pc. It took a lot of tries before it worked.
- because the screen turns of it is sometimes difficult to know when I have received a sms, but that's a minor problem for me.
- a problem is however the volume...it can be very loud, and I absolutely don't mind that, but the volume is still loud when you turn it to one. If you turn it to zero, it has no sound. It can be annoying when I use the headphones, because it can be at some point just toooooo loud. But others might like this...
What I haven't read and am wondering is whether someone has troubles with the "c" button on the right corner. It doesn't react very quickly like the other buttons, but when I get it to work and I keep "pressing" it, it reacts very quickly. So the first try is always a hassle for me.
Despite these problems...I haven't found other drawbacks and I still like the phone for it's functions and design.

LG Chocolate is really an elegant phone and I liked this model. This is the first LG phone that attracted my attention.
anyway i have one problem with this model and that is I cannot connect to the internal memory of the phone even when i activate the modem! after installing the usb modem, programs can connect to the phone, but before the syncroniation ends up, the phone would be disconnected and pc would not detect it until again you reinstall the driver! LG PC Sync too could not connect to the phone! I do not know what to do! anybody can help plz?

I got mine 2 days ago.
Bought it without contract in greece 400 e. its a beautifull phone. Looks just like an i-pod!!! its really a magnet for other peoples eyes! functions are great. it comes with a carrying case, headset, usb cable. the camera although 1,3 mp is fine, the menu is easy to use and the ext keypad so nice to use.about cons now, the phone gets very dirty and u can also see tiny scratches after some days of use, and there is a problem too with answering a 2nd call due to the ext keys lock them selves after a 3 sec period. i think its a phone for gentile use yet its more beautifull than anything else on the market at the moment. u should buy it!

LG Stands for Lakhee Geumsung which, in English, means Lucky Goldstar. Lakhee is a chemical company, Geumsung is an electronics company. They were founded by one man but just had different names. In 1994, the grandson of the founder took over the group and came up with one name for the entire group and its subsidiaries, LG.

If this phone doesn't have a sim card slot, how does it work with GSM providers? For example, if I buy this phone (I live in the US), how will I use this with my Cingular service provider?

I've heard the phone is called Chocolate coz its a metaphor for desire and is irresistible.
Personally, it's just drop dead gorgeous.

Got this phone, think its the best phone i've ever had. Touch pad is surprisingly responsive and the whole user experience has been an utter pleasure.
Would definately buy an LG phone again. Keep up the good work LG!

Had this phone a week now, and I love it more every day... yeah it's got some quirks and some downsides... but having been a Nokia user all my life, I've found the user interface very easy to get on with... plus it is the best looking phone on the market by far!
