This is the worst phone ever. I work in a phone store and I see so many of these phones come back with problems... fair enough some people buy it and love it, but seriously, about 70% of the chocolates we sell come back for repair or replacement. This phone is a heat sensitive lemon

In the past 8 months i have to replace this phone twice. It screws up alot. i have never dropped it either. The screen goes completely white, using camera freezes the phone and the only way to fix it is to take out the battery. Also takes the phone like 5 mins to get a signal again.

This phone is so awesome, mine has fallen like 5 times on tiles! and it still works fine, color is great. Its a very stylish phone and i think its a great choice. And people who think its easy to break well duh if you don't take care of it! All phones can break! One of the best phones ever..!

Too be honest, I read a lot of bad reviews about this phone from this site. Nevertheless, i found a great deal and couldn't refuse it. Its sleek and stylish- people complain about the touchpad- well if you read any informatoin about the phone it TELLS you it is a heat sensitive pad. It has a lot of storage and is easy to use. I love it!
personally, the stuckup people on here who are slating this phone for silly reasons, too be honest, every phone has its problems and if you want to invent a phone- be my guest. just be happy you've got one
My only question- how do you lock your messages from prying eyes????? I could do it on my old phone but not on this- lots of phones can't do it- but is there a way???????

This is the worst phone I have ever seen... for the price it has NOTHING WORTHWHILE. This phone is for the fashion conscious who have no idea about phones. Get a life LG

This phone is not worth the money! It freezes, the screen turns white, and goes different colours. My phone has got to the point where the screen is ONLY WHITE.. it doesnt go back to normal, so i can;t even use the phone, and there no point on getting it repaired because the problem continues.

it's a dodgy phone i swear.
DO NOT BUY IT!
you'll just waste your money.
my phone keeps freezing, everytime i open up the slide the whole screen turns white, the screen is divided into 2, the colours go neon?
and i have kept it in mint condition, i always keep it in this phonebag and so that means that i didnt do anything to the phone to make it like that.
THE PHONE HAS PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

This phone has too be the ultimate worst phone made in the history of man kind!!!….I got this phone in mid August it is now January and I have sent this phone in 9 times to be repaired….I actually PRAY that the company would send me a new phone and discontinue the making of this Lg Phone….Where do I start with the problems…To start off this phone doesn’t have a speaker phone for your calls!!!! which is very troublesome……when need are trying to multitask…Secondly this phone has 1 slot for the charger and the head-set and the usb port….so you can’t do anything..when your trying t use your head-set and your battery dies your screwed….Thirdly the battery life is like 3 mins….you have 2 basically keep your phone plugged in the whole day to have 10 mins of talk time…at the end of the day I have to give credit to Lg….for making the worst phone of the 20th century….

If you're thinking of getting an LG phone that come with it's "normal OS", like the KG800. Do note that the phones suffer from a "time lag" problem, that is, the time will slow down after a while and you got to set it back to the correct time manually. This problem is quite noticable and I've experience it in both my LG G5600 and KG800 phones.
On to the KG800, some problems I've encountered is sometimes, the phone will automatically restart for no reason. The phone will hang at the "Please wait" screen etc.
On the whole, if you want features, you should be thinking about getting the Chocolate 3G (KU800) or Chocolate Gold/platium (KE800) instead of the KG800.

Delicate phone which scratches easily and has no speakerphone. I have taken very good care of my LG for the past 1 1/2 years but the back still has some noticable scracthes and by keypad backlight is dead. I guess the design is supposed to make up for it...
As for the person below who says the battery only lasts 2 min before dying: this may be because you have been making calls while charging the phone.
As I do no use the features, I cannot commment. Overall, The phone is very nice looking but you need to take very good care of it.

Fashion phone of the year 2007! Love it! This is my current phone. I dropped it in a stream and it still works perfectly -- AMAZING!! A small scratch across the screen and a couple of chips on the side. I'm not joking -- seriously! Great phone, highly recomendable!

Talk time Up to 6 h "...all this to -60 minutes(in one year!!)

This is one of the crappiest phones to date. I used it for a year+ now, and I'm glad it got stolen(yesterday - & no insurance). It does absolutely nothing of note. Browsing speed of 115kbps????Please. Try deleting a lenghty sms...the function stops midway and you have to reset the delete funtion. Try clearing out your Inbox, nevermind the outbox, the system hangs. LG may have developed a phone OS to rival Microsoft's Windows OS. Try saving pictures and viewing them later...let me the 1st to congratulate you on a successful retrieval and viewing. I tried renaming mp3's and images. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. I also manged to find super-human ability by using the touch screen without ever touching it. Go figure! And no, my phone is/was still in mint condition. I have eyewitnesses to verify the fact, so no claims about me abusing the device can be used as counter argument. Let me continue to point out the problem with assigning users to their various groups...upon 'rebooting' itself spontaneous intervals, you will find that when viewing an entry, it will indicate one group while displaying a different group at the same time????I've tried everything to fix this anomally, nothing helps. I can go on with my list, my I think I've proven that this phone sucks big time. I've spent R3K to purchase this device a year back. Barring the depreciating aspect, I'm happy I "lost" R3000 yesterday. I will never prchase another LG product for the rest of my natural life. Famous last words right...I think not. I'm browsing for a new phone now, and Sony looks strong. P.S I have a co-worker thats looking to give her KG800 away. She's fed up as well. Another example to add; one un-named individual threww his Chocolate from a moving vehicle in utter frustration!
