As you know this model has good face and seamless front conver. We don't use cam and high level feature rarely. So it is good for chic guy. I guess it is Must-have item.

You can't add your own message alerts but you can add your own ring tones.

Found more limitations with the phone's software.
T9 predictive text is not available for entering the name of contacts in the address book. After entering a full stop after a word, T9 doesn't capitalise the first letter of the next word. When using T9 or non-T9 entry of letters, you can't hold down a key after a delay to enter a number - you have to toggle through the various input options to get to numbers.
Contacts saved in the phone memory requires a 'Main Number' to be assigned to a Home, Mobile or Work category. It is not possible to edit a phone memory contact if you want to delete a main number and leave the other numbers; this is because clearing the main number removes the Save contact option and you can't also scroll down to the other telephone number of the contact.
Basically, you have to delete the contact from the address book and recreate it again without the number you that you wanted to delete.
There is an option to allocate speed dials to keys 2-9. If you have a phone memory contact with Home (as Main Number) and Mobile numbers - you cannot assign a speed dial to both numbers. Although, it appears you can do it, the software restricts the speed dial to the Main Number. (The user manual doesn't actually tell you this.)

Is anyone else having trouble with adding photos from a pc? It adds files to the camera, but when I try to set them as wallpaper, it doesn't seem to recognise the jpg's, and saving them as gif's makes them too big.
Cheers

More about PC Sync v. Mass Storage
Using the device for mass storage by plugging in the data cable will change the display to indicate that it connected to the computer.
However, to PC Sync - modem mode needs to be activated first before connecting the cable. The display does not change or indicate by an icon that it is modem mode.
You will see LG USB as a Com Port option in the pc sync sofware (and this option is not available if modem is not activated first.)

Bought the phone 2 days ago and have to get it changed. There is something wrong with the data connection port on the phone.
After inserting the cable into the phone for a connection to a Windows 2000 machine, the phone will briefly connect before automatically disconnecting itself as though cable is pulled out without stopping the device in W2K. Have tried connecting it to three different W2K machines and same problem exists. Therefore impossible to sync the phone with bundled LG software.
Also, synching the phone with the LG software requires the phone to be put into a 'modem' mode before connecting the data cable. Activation of this mode is done via menu seleciton, however, an icon denoting this modem mode is not shown after activating this feature.
The software has generally has some other limitations, when compared to other brands:
-inability to use the music player and view the other functions of the phone at the same time, e.g. calender, phone settings, inbox, etc.
-it's not possible to create different playlists. Music files are stored in a specific folder and the player will play all the files in the folder or it can be set to repeat one track.
-contacts in the phonebook can be assigned a home, mobile and work number against a corresponding icon, e.g. house, phone etc. However, viewing last dialled calls these icons are not displayed against the numbers dialled - only a mobilephone symbol is shown; therefore it is not immediately apparent the type of number for each dialled contact name without looking at the displayed phone number.
-it is not possible to add a dialled number to an existing saved contact, but it is possible to create a new phonebook entry, i.e. contact, from a dialled number.
-using the 'restore default settings' option doesn't actually restore all the settings to default.
Overall, an ok phone. Definitely not perfect and there's room for improvement to make it even better. Probably the most appealling feature is its physical design. Software, not so great.

I saw this phone at CERF in Romania...it's absolutely superb. It looks like it's from the future. The screen is very good and the photos look very good also on the screen.
I want to buy it especially for the design.

Got this phone yesterday, and all seemed fine, although when i went to change the name of my bluetooth device from the default of LG KG800, my fone crashed, althouth when i restarted it, the name was changed. Also i think there may be a fault with the bluetooth itself, as it does not stay on when u activate it, it just comes up 'bluetooth off', and also will not discover any devices which i no are in range. Anyone got any ideas????

Thanks a lot for your help, it is sorted out now; you must activate the modem indeed. It wasn't done by default and it was not clearly mentioned into the menual (just a little paragraph p82).
Do not forget to activate the COM port in "option" when you start LG Sync, then press "Read" for the phone.
It should work...

Actually, I am facing exactly the same problems with my KG800 ; I don't manage to make the PC Sync worko, I can only use the USB cable to transfer files but that's all !
Does someone know how to sort this out, because it is very disappointing ?
Thanks a lot

Loadspeaker - if you mean speaker phone then no, this phone doesn't have it.
Message tones - You can change the message tone but you can only select the ones available on the phone by default.
PC Sync - For those of you having problems with getting the software to connect to the phone, ensure you have enabled MODEM mode before connecting it to your PC. Otherwise the phone'll go to mass storage device mode.
For the person that can connect their phone but can't transfer contacts have a look at the centre of the application screen, you should see two arrows. Click on the arrow that points to the right and it should transfer all ticked contacts to your phone.
