I am not a fan of this phone at all! I bought it in October, it has been getting fixed for the past month. I have zero reception, ive even stood under the phone tower and it said i had no reception!
It turns it self off randomly, it likes to freeze then the screen goes white and then when it reboots its self i've lost everything. It is very sensitive, it calls people by itself. I can hardly hear people when i am making a call (when it lets me).
The last straw before i handed it in to get fixed was that i couldnt place or recieve calls.
Shall be interesting to see when i finally get it back whether it is any good or not. But i'm already on the look out for a new phone!

i have had this phone for awhile now, and i like it, sure battery life not as good as it could be, but if you turn the display brightness down it helps alot, also i have my screen light turn off after 10 seconds which also helped. i havnt had any problems with the touch screen.

Just like other users that have commented on this phone i have crap reception! theres not much point in a 3g phone if you cant get reception enough to make a voice call,let alone a video call!! the buttons are too sensitive aswell

You are certainly going to be purchasing this cellphone style over essence
The LG KU800 is a good quality phone, it is just extremely sensitive and needs a very careful owner. I have had two of these phones now and i have found out that most of the phone's problems is due to one design fault in the entire phone. It is a Flex cable connecting the top half of the phone to the bottom of the phone, the flex cable is shocking in design as it is very weak and the strong metal slider mechanism smacks against it when opening and closing, this wears it out causing the cable to bend and eventually snap, Hence white screens, touch sensitive not working, speaker not working etc. You can purchase the flex cables on ebay for around $10 and are fairly easy to install, installing a new flex cable will have your phone working like new again. I agree the battery life is schocking, the power save tends to help out a lot, but i prefer to have two batteries incase one goes flat when im out, i just change the batteries.
I really hope LG will design a new Chocolate phone with a battery that lasts longer, a better quality screen, and less sensitive and stronger parts.
I personally like the phone for its look and the use of the mp3 player.
