LG KG800 Chocolate review: Dressed to impress

31 May 2006
A new LG phone has hit the streets. The possible suspect is described as black, slim, sexy and most of all fashionable. Well then, we might just have some information on that suspect, Mr. Officer. The LG Chocolate phone is a gorgeous mobile phone offering a red-glowing navigation touchpad, 128MB of internal memory, 1.3 megapixel camera and MP3 player, tri-band GSM and GPRS support - all that incorporated into a slim slider shell.

Hello! I don't think that I read in your comments something about the alert options of this phone. This phone hasn't the alert of missed calls...........have you observed that????? I think that is very important..........did anyone saw that???? I will be glad to hear more about it...............and may be some options......

                can you put passwords on your text messages?
                like before you check it, you have to enter a password

                      Ive had this phone for a about a month now maybe...

                      The onli problems i have had is freezing while im deleting messages..

                      I dont like some features.. Like that you cant save massges to certain folders, Or move things out of the "others" file. Without the comp..

                      And its annoying how the reception bar shows reception when its searching..

                      But i can live with that....

                        I have had the chocolate for less than three months and the light for the numeric key pad has stopped working. Has that happened to anyone else? By the way, my sister has the same problem.

                          Sorry but i have to agree with Ronnie here. What is a phone for? communicating. You want a great beat-em-all camera? Buy a digital camera. You want great music? Buy an mp3 player. You want loads of space? Get a laptop. And I also must point out that I don't like people eavesdropping on my conversations, so I find speakerphone a useless feature, same with airplane mode. How can you use your phone without using it for communication, which is what it was meant to be for?

                          ADVICE
                          "i cant set my ringtone. it sets up fine activates but when i get a call my ringtone dosent come on can anyone help please!"

                          Have you tried looking into your settings? Touch the left key - general - personalise - call alert type. see which one you've got activated. If it's vibrate or silent, then there's your problem.

                          Daniella - I've looked everywhere - I don't think you can change the shortcut. Sorry.

                              um... people, can i just explain that if you thing the lg chocolate phone's battery life is bad, have a look at the samsung e 820's battery life. my mum got one 2 days ago and after only two hours of having it on, a message came up saying "low battery". i have the lg chocolate and i used it for a full two days (48 hours) before it said low battery, and even then it stayed on for another half a day before it went dead. the samsung e 820 stayed on for another hour and then went dead.

                                  I went to a ASIA mobile expo in Delhi(India)And I must confess LG KG800 was indeed the Best looking phone. So iwas was more or less impulse buying of this Sleek And Slim Phone. Though it lacks expandable Memory But still 128 MB is enough. The network reception is Good (as some people has mentioned it weakas it all depends on your service provider) The feature of storing text files is good as I can view my notes on the go other +ve is it can be used as USB pendrive . Small Java application can also be installed.Also Overall A Good phone to Buy Go FOT IT

                                      oh yeah... people, a fone is for communicating, a laptop is for setting your alarms and subfolders and all that stuff you complain about. 128 MB is not bad, but i want a fone, not a laptop. seriously... its fine. it's communicating stuff is great and i have awesome reception with my one. no probs at all. GO LG!
