I got this phone two years ago & it has stood by me all that time. I mean it's not perfect, but what phone is?!
The battery is fine, the ability to chose the background is awesome. The camera is fine & the music player is good.
I recommend it!

Don't GET THIS PHONE. I have had it for just about 2 years now. The first year was OK although the second year was diabolical. The battery gets rubbish & now when I play a song for like 5 seconds, the battery dies & that's from a full battery. Also after I have texted someone it dies, don't GET IT.

I have had TWO LG KG800 & both broke the charger packs ups then you try & charge it on PC it soon messes up LOL mine packed up last night & now will not charge at all so all I am saying is beware & go careful with it I had the 1 phone for 2 years 4 years today then the other I got on my birthday & that is broken already & I had that for a year. But yeah it is a lovely phone whilst it lasts!
Reviewer: Ramsha Zafar - Pakistan

This mobile phone is no doubt beautiful & attractive & is good for people looking for looks only as this mobile phone is not long lasting like Nokia & has troubles like the battery is totally useless while calling I have to inform the caller to talk fast because my phone will turn off & I can listen to only 2 or 3 songs & after that the battery will start dying.
The BASIC THING is that I have changed the battery but still the problem of MP3 usage is the same. Is this because of the handset or battery?
Reviewer: Sarah - Essex, UK
Date: 16th Oct 2009
I received this phone as a birthday present & was pleased with it. It's not the usual style I would pick myself but it's quite sleek & stylish. I've had the phone for two years now & the battery is just as good as when I first had it, I charge it every 3 to 4 days. The camera isn't great, it doesn't have a good zoom feature & the pictures look grainy. Luckily I don't really use the phone to take pictures or play music, so maybe that's why I have no problems with the battery. Mine was unlocked so might be why I don't have some of the issues that other people have experienced. Has a couple of games which are fine, the alarm clock doesn't have a snooze function & sometimes doesn't go off, so not 100% reliable, no radio either. Touch pad takes a while to get used to but OK once you get the knack. The Bluetooth function is painfully slow so I have pretty much given up on that & I couldn't work out how to upload music so bought an iPod instead, it doesn't have a large enough memory anyway! If you just want a phone to call & text this is fine, looks pretty but it's not going to please someone who is really into using their phone as a multi functional device. It gets pretty scratched as well & one of the buttons is starting to play up so am going to buy a new phone to replace it but would keep it as a backup.

Date: 21st Aug 2009
I've had this phone for just over a year now. I've had so many problems with it. At one point it wouldn't even turn on, at all. Even when I plugged it in to charge it wouldn't light up. I had to send it off to get it repaired twice! There are various other problems, including, not connecting to the PC properly, & I have actually had two buttons fall off my phone completely, which obviously makes texting now extremely difficult! It's the last time I ever buy a phone from LG, from my experience its put me off this brand entirely.
If you're looking for a stylish, sleek phone then yes, this is the buy for you, but if you want that stylish & sleek phone to work properly, then I would seriously consider looking a bit more into it, & hopefully buy a better phone.

I really like this phone, I have had it for 18 months now, no problems with it, I find easy to use though the touch screen can be over sensitive at times & not sensitive enough at other times, only looking for new one now as I have loads of scratches in the screen.

Have had this phone a year been back four times to Carphone Warehouse they could not fix it cannot give you exchange keeps doubling up texts or cutting off while speaking. I had to send it to LG then the real trouble started. It took them 2 month to look at it made lots of calls then was told they had lost it then found it again. Then out of the blue it has arrived back with no letter to say sorry, had to buy a new phone would not touch this phone with a barge poll if won it in a raffle would had it back. Worse phone I have ever had LG not much help either.
Reviewer: Lee Hughes - Colwyn Bay, UK

I've had this phone for a year, & it is rubbish. Do not buy unless you want to waste your money. The camera is rubbish, it hardly holds any songs, & I can't even change the ringtone on mine. DO NOT BUY!
Reviewer: Jay - UK
Date: 3rd May 2009
I can't stand the thing! I had it a day & it kept freezing, turning off & it went to the front screen all of the time even without touching a button. Its camera is rubbish & it holds about 20 songs. It is the worst phone that I have ever had. The only good thing about it is that it looks nice but overall the phone is totally rubbish.

Date: 26th Apr 2009
It turns off all the time it's annoying, & I can't keep more than 10 songs which is useless, considering I am really into music, I can't hear anyone on the phone. Don't GET IT!
Reviewer: Linda - London, UK
Date: 18th Apr 2009
Had this phone now for a year, finally bought a new one, Nokia 3600 slide & am so glad I did.
Loved it at first, nice design & nice smooth feel.
However, battery takes 2 hours to charge. The alarm stopped working every now & then, had to reset factory settings to get it to work again. Every phone call is difficult, could hardly be heard by other person. Screen kept blacking out. Camera is useless, rubbish zoom & flash facility. Touch screen very sensitive, surprised it didn't get thrown out of the window! Spent time putting all my contacts into groups, the phone just messed them all up & changed groups, so I had to go back & take groups off.
Spent too much time on this phone trying to sort out problems rather than enjoying it, Do not buy it.
Reviewer: Jg - UK

The phone looks absolutely brilliant but the thing I can't figure out is how do you put a picture on a caller so when they call their face comes up? the touchpad is a bit fiddly but overall it is a good phone.
Reviewer: Amiee - Australia
Date: 28th Mar 2009
This is the worst phone I ever had in my life the charge in it is rubbish it hasn't got a very big memory & it gets damaged easily I had it 2 days & the screen went black so I took it back in to the shop & they changed it for me so the next one lasted a few weeks before on that one I couldn't hear if the phone was ringing when I was calling them I also couldn't hear it when I picked up the phone (them on the other end) it is a rubbish phone I would waste your money on it. Xx.
Reviewer: Olivia Clayton - Toulouse, France
Date: 23rd Mar 2009
I bought this phone because it looks good, & yes it is a very pretty phone, but apart from that, it's pretty useless. Granted, there are some features, but they are pretty limited, you can't even multiple select messages to delete, you either have to delete them all or one by one! The camera's a bit slow to start up, & it's impossible to find the photos you've taken or stored on your phone, you can't go through your photos either, you have to open it, go back to the menu & open another. I don't recommend this phone at all.
Reviewer: Minicheddar - UK
Date: 12th Mar 2009
I loved this phone when I first saw it because it looked so cool. I got it in lilac for £50 & was really pleased, but it scratches so easily! The battery life is OK, unless you want to play music, which drains the battery. You can only store a few songs anyway.
It is easy to find things in the menu screen, & the number buttons are a perfect size, but the touch pad can get quite annoying!
Recently I have experienced problems with the phone, it freezes up & the screen goes white, the battery drains quickly & the speakers aren't brilliant.
However, it has lasted me over a year, so it's not as if it will only last you a few weeks!
Reviewer: Riya - UK
Date: 3rd Mar 2009
I had this phone for about a year now. The features on this phone are very limited & the battery needs charging at least two hours a day.
My one constantly keeps switching off & erases, all the memory, & the camera is completely useless, as the flash doesn't work properly & there's no good zooming quality.
Don't MAKE the MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS PHONE!

I LOVE MY PHONE! GREAT PHONE.
Reviewer: LG Chocolate User - Singapore
Date: 24th Feb 2009
Initially when I bought this phone, it was all good. I purchase it purely for the looks even though I knew it had very limited functions & all.
Until it starts to automatically switch off when I am in the midst of typing a SMS. IT IS VERY IRRITATING! Makes you want to throw the phone on the floor when you've just typed a very very long message.
& now, the battery is giving me a lot of problems. It lasts for only about a phone call? Now whenever people call me, I need to tell them to talk faster because my phone is going to switch off very soon : (. Maybe it is the battery fault, not the phone. I don't know.
Overall, I am not satisfied & am changing it very soon. Like finally.
Reviewer: Ellie - Yarmouth, UK
Date: 19th Feb 2009
At first I thought this phone was the best but I have started to realise that it isn't so brilliant.
I have had it for a year. I am not saying the camera isn't good because it is it's a great camera it has a great MP3 player & all the rest of it the only thing is the memory is rubbish & you can't get a memory card for it this is as specially annoying as I have less memory on it than I am supposed to in the first place. Apparently it is supposed to have 128MB but instead I have 1.7 this is silly & I can't even store 1 song on it.
Overall I would say that this phone is maybe not the worst but not the best either.
Reviewer: Steve - Brighton, UK
Date: 27th Jan 2009
Just to say that I am not a mobile phone fanatic, just an older, very occasional user. Had to change my 10 year old phone for something & liked the look of this. Have only had it for one day but I am really impressed, especially at the PAYG offer from Carphone Warehouse of £24.42.
Some points.
- It is not easy to find out how the keypad lights up, but turn Power Saving to off.
- You need a REALLY light touch on the touch sensitive controls, but once you learn the art it's easy. It's just not suitable for walking down the street with a drink in one hand & trying to work the phone with the other.
- Camera seems quite good.
- For me a really well designed phone at low cost that does all I want very well. Remember it was over £200 a couple of years ago.

Reviewer: Joe - Bristol, UK
Date: 11th Jan 2009
I thought it looked like a good design & they let me have a go in the shop, it felt good as well. I brought it in May, but by October it started to play up & I could not have a good conversation with anyone if it was for over 1.5 minutes, because when the screen blacked out so did the speakers but the other person could hear me but I could not hear them so I don't recommend this phone & I am trying to find the receipt & send that lump of rubbish back!

Reviewer: Joel Ansell - UK
Date: 10th Dec 2008
I bought this phone roughly 6 months ago, but have only been using it for about 2. I was half way through listening to a song on it when the speakers suddenly stopped working, the phone now creates no noise at all. Also, It's so easy to scratch, I keep this phone in a pocket on its own, all my other things in my other pocket & the screen looks like it's been rubbed on a grater.
The camera feature is relatively good, but takes a little while to load & is tricky to master. The memory is not expandable, but is satisfactory for fulfilling all required functions. The PC software it comes with is completely dysfunctional.
Overall, a relatively good, nice looking phone with a few handy features, but doesn't last long at all & doesn't quite do what it says it should.
Reviewer: Justine - London, UK
Date: 7th Dec 2008
I loved this phone when I first got it because the design was so cool. I had it in pink & it was basically my dream phone. It was really good until about 3 months. The battery life became rubbish. I had to charge it every single night otherwise it would die the next day. The touch pad didn't work very well because it had gotten quite dirty. It's a massive effort because your hands have to be clean when you use it otherwise grease clogs up & you have to press hard. The vibrating alert is really long & the alarm doesn't work when I set it.
I wouldn't buy this phone if I were you, it looks really cool but it's actually not a good phone.
Reviewer: John Smith - Dalgety Bay, UK

Great Phone! I've Had the Phone For 6 Months & Had No Problems With It. Except I Had To Take It Back To the Shop & Get A New One As the Keypad Light Stopped Working.

Reviewer: Mimitchi - UK
Date: 5th Dec 2008
This phone is absolutely brilliant! What I think.
Media.
- Bluetooth, Very good, hard to navigate to.
- Camera, Brilliant for 1.3 megapixels. Flash easy to turn on & off.
- Video, Very good. A bit blurry without flash. Limited video time. Easy to use.
- Games, Bad. Anyone like Sudoku?
- MP3 player, Good. Easy to get tracks onto phone but some songs put stress on the speakers. Easy to use.
Customising.
- Menu Backgrounds, Good. Only silver & black, but very well designed. No custom backgrounds.
- Main screen Background, Very good. Custom allowed, easy to navigate to.
- Colours, Limited since it only comes in lilac, pink & black. Lilac stylish, pink vibrant, black cool.
- Ringtones & sounds, Very good. Loud n clear.
Size.
- Handset, Very good. Small & light.
- Screen, a bit small, can't display videos from some phones.
- Navi keys, Good size. Bit sensitive.
- Text keys, Very good. Designed well & durable.
Design.
- GREAT!
Overall.
- Lovely phone with fantastic looks. Very desirable & well built.
10 out of 10, Very Good!

Reviewer: Emma - UK
Date: 18th Nov 2008
Lots of people moan about this phone, but I have had it for 2 years now & it has worked reasonably well. However I have had to have it replaced before, the phone screen went blank every now & then & the camera took all of the pictures in a purple or green colour, which was quite annoying. It takes a lot of time to get used to & I would have preferred a phone that holds more texts. If you are looking for a phone to take videos or play music on I would not recommend this, as the battery life is really bad. This weekend I had charged it for over 10 hours, & it was working fine until I started taking a 30 second video, & then it went from full battery straight down to low battery, it needs to be constantly charged so I find myself having to switch between this phone & my old one. The Bluetooth transferring is painfully slow. As far as the signal goes, it is not that bad, but I find I don't get signal at home apart from in certain small places, & it still isn't enough to make a call. The phone when on outdoor settings is pretty loud, so it's easy to hear when you get a text, but while you are using the phone to call somebody it is a different case entirely & it is very quiet.
All in all, it can last a long time but may need to be replaced once in its lifetime, the battery life definitely brings down its usability, but it is the sort of phone that can be easy to use & good once you have gotten used to it.
Reviewer: Tracey Marsh - Guildford, UK
Date: 11th Nov 2008
I think this phone is gorgeous to look at. Fantastic MP3 quality but after a while I do find that the volume tends to lessen so it is hard to hear. Also while you are in call it can be hard to hear the other person you're talking to unless. My phone is unlocked & I find I get good signal with any SIM card I have in it. However there was one incident where I tried to download a tone & the battery died & when I charged the phone up I found all the MP3 tones I already had on the phone had automatically deleted. The battery runs low very quickly. But I will still recommend this phone to friends.
Reviewer: Skivey - UK

I got this phone for my birthday & for the first couple of weeks it was great but it soon became unreliable, it would run out from a full battery in about an hour. When I took the battery there was a huge crack in the battery, then the touch pad stopped working & I had to press a corner of the screen for it work at all. I wouldn't recommend this phone to my worst enemy.
Reviewer: Simone - UK
Date: 6th Nov 2008
Phone is good to start with (lasted a good few months), looks good but after a while it never gets signal, scratches easily, very quiet ringtones so you cannot hear it ring unless you are in a silent place, poor camera, the alarm clock broke, hardly any memory & the battery goes down to one bar after you send a few texts in a row. Would be a good phone for someone who only wants a cheap phone to send the odd text & call now & again.
Reviewer: Brian - London, UK
Date: 5th Nov 2008
I have had this phone for a good few months now & it's one of the biggest mistakes that you can make, the phone is good at first with its nice style but the annoying uncooperative touch screen is a pain & the screen used to regularly freeze & turn white but now it stays white all the time without fail. Anyone who has this phone would probably agree with me.
Reviewer: Lillie - Cheltenham, UK
Date: 4th Nov 2008
I had a Motorola RAZR in pink, but was bored & wanted another phone. I had seen the LG Chocolate around, a few of my friends had it, so I thought that as it was so pretty with it's gorgeous design, I would buy one.
DO NOT BUY THIS MOBILE PHONE, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY!
I get it home & charge it, & things are looking good. The touch screen is glowing beautifully & it looks so lovely, until you turn it on.
Rubbish features, the camera is shocking quality, shown even more so when you upload your photos onto the computer, & they're all grainy & the memory fills after about 10 songs have been put on your phone. & then you can only keep about 6 text messages. It actually is rubbish.
& then the problems started, the turning off, the flashing screen, the freezing.
Reviewer: James - Shropshire, UK
Date: 27th Oct 2008
Worst phone I have ever had. Touch screen is impossible to get used to, features are poor, & lack of memory is annoying. Only holds 150 texts & then you have to delete them all. & will just give up on sending texts if you have signal. Will not try to send them again when it has signal. Which is very rare anyway. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, get a Sony instead. That's what I am doing!
Reviewer: Curtis - UK
Date: 20th Oct 2008
I really like this phone & it has done pretty much nothing to disappoint me for the last 10 months that I have owned it. However, it is not completely reliable as I once went to turn it on, & it wouldn't, so I took the battery off, put it back on & it worked. It happened again recently so I took the battery off, put it back on, & turned it on. It got as far as the keypad lighting up, & then turned itself off. It carries on through this cycle & will not stop unless I take the battery off. It is really annoying, but thankfully it is still under warranty. Phew!
Reviewer: John - Australia

WHITE SCREEN. If your screen changes to white or blank, also if the device turns itself off, the problem is probably the flex cable, You can get one from eBay for a few dollars or find a fix online using Google or you tube. Good Luck.

This phone is amazing! I have had it 6 months & nothing is wrong at all! There is a fantastic memory & the camera quality is brilliant. I have over 30 songs on my phone & I have 60% memory left. I recommend this to anyone because it looks fantastic & the features are great. Don't GET A Sony Ericsson PHONE. TRUST ME LG IS BETTER.

Overall I loved this phone, got it in a sale at like, 50 quid, & this was about 8 or 9 months ago. I don't know why you are all whining so much because it works perfectly fine for me. I've dropped it & it still works perfectly.
I just got the new LG KS360 & gave my LG Chocolate to my Mum, she's happy with it.
Mine has scratched yes, but hardly. It only gets totally scratched if your careless & do not look after it, it seems like a lot of you haven't been looking after your LG's.
I'll admit sometimes the touch screen is a little dodgy, but not too much, more often than not it worked for me first time & if it didn't I wouldn't get impatient & smash the phone around or try to pick faults, but I'd just press it again.
It has fair battery life but not whilst playing music or videos. Take your charger out with you. I found that the memory was fair also if you teenagers want a phone to play your MP3's on then go & buy a Sony Ericsson & stop complaining.
This phone has been my best phone so far, & I am sure the 360 will beat it, but for now, get the Chocolate while it's cheap. It's worth it if you just want it for calls or texts. It's a good phone.

Well I never! Seriously don't GET THIS phone! There's good points but very few. I read the reviews but I still got the phone because it was pretty, but now I have been stuck with a rubbish phone for about a year.
Good points, pretty, shiny, compact.
Bad points, easily scratched, hardly any memory, bad camera, hard to text on, rubbish signal, can't multi delete, can't put pictures or messages into folders, overall very unorganised, too quiet, keys don't light up, freezes, shocking battery life, can't have MP3 tones as text alerts, buttons are sometimes too sensitive & other times not sensitive enough & the list goes on.

I was so exited to get this for my birthday last year. I love the design. I had it for about 2 months & things started to go wrong, got it repaired twice & still it didn't work, so ended up getting a new phone. It's the worst phone I have ever had.

I've had this little champ for ages now & not only that but my brother had it before me & it's still running nearly as well as it did when it was new.
I love the touch screen, the only problem is because it's very old now, when the battery starts to go, the touch screen doesn't work but that's very easy to sort out because as soon as I plugged in the charger, its fine again. Also I have always had problems with the signal but it's very bad now & the little door that covers the charger hole now doesn't close. Other than that I have had no problems with the phone but I feel that it's a little old now so I am moving on to the Sony Ericsson K770i but I am still keeping this one as a spare because I've got very attached to it.

I bought one of these last year on pay & go for around £100 & to be honest I wish I hadn't never did find it easy to use at all & it was stuck on my desk most of the time scratches appeared on it very quickly too due to the high shine of it & soon looked tatty couldn't get used to the touch feature either & texting was difficult. Memory capability not good & was having to delete messages all the time to be able to take a picture so all in all no good for me.
I have had many phones & this would be one of the worst ones I have had always been a Motorola fan.

Bad points.
- the keypad is very annoying not because its touch sensitive because its responding is rubbish.
- Mine broke after a month.
- Not reliable at all.
- Camera is rubbish quality.

My contract runs out in 1 month & quite frankly I can't wait to see the back of this phone. It's HORRENDOUS!
The battery life is shocking, I initially had the slim battery but it got to the point where the battery didn't even last a day. So switched to the big battery & that's just as useless, lasts 2 days max on standby.
As for the touch pad, well its pants. I don't know if it's just this phone or all touch pads, but it's so in accurate. I don't exactly have large fingers but I continuously press what I think is one thing & end up doing something else.
The key pad is very slow & can't keep up with what your texting & it always misses out letters that you know you have typed so always having to correct which is very annoying when you want to send a quick text.
Every now & then the phone completely freezes & doesn't respond to anything apart from having the battery taken out which is highly inconvenient.
Overall bad phone, silly design! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

This phone is rubbish. I have had this phone since November & I HATE it. It is really hard to text on & it won't receive phone calls only random ones but I am not sure if that is because of the network or not. There is no speaker on it when you are on the phone & the volume doesn't go very high. The camera is of a good quality but when I want to take a picture fast it is the worst camera for that job. I know I bought a touch screen phone but I never realised how annoying the touch screen is. I don't like the settings on it at all. The Bluetooth on the phone is very slow. It is pathetic. When I want to send a song to my phone it takes about 20 minutes for an average length song when it only takes about ten min on my old phone. & also when you want to change your ringtone you have to change it on every caller group, there is about 7 & also when my sister wants to send me a picture. It says that the file is not supported. Also my friend has bought this phone & after having it for just 1 month she hates it. Therefore I am getting a new phone after about eight months because I can't stand it. & I am looking forward so much. Goodbye LG.

This phone is amazing, all the comments saying how bad & rubbish it is they must be reviewing the wrong phone.
Features, there are loads & it has an MP3 player only thing is the memory its shared so if you use it all on music like I have you find if you record a video you will run out of memory.
Design, amazing, this phone will stun anyone its very thin & the black design is so great 'does get scratched but what mobile doesn't.
Usability, I gave this 95% that reason because if you have had a long history & got used to pressing button the touch buttons on the LG chocolate are annoying when you are not used to it but I mastered them in the first week.
Get this phone, its great & very cheap with all the features it hold.

I absolutely love this phone! I have had mine for about 7 months & I haven't had one single problem with it. The battery last for days. The memory is great. I have 200 songs on my phone & I still have 64MBs left. The sound quality is awesome. The camera is even better! The camera has so many settings on it that it's practically impossible to catch a bad picture. I love the screen & the rich quality of picture it puts out. I can tell a huge difference between looking at my phone then looking at someone else's. A world of difference! I have dropped my phone. Dropped it in water. Doesn't even have a scratch on it. It never malfunctions. I absolutely love the navigation system on it!
For people who talk about dropped calls & poor service. That's your phone provider's fault. Not the phones fault.
When I first got the phone the navigation wheel annoyed me, but not that I am use to it, I have no issues with it at all. I love all the different kind of text messages I can send along with emails & the voice commands.
This phone is freaking awesome & if you would give it half a chance you'll love it too!

This phone looks great & the camera & video camera produces quite nice pictures. There are a few problems.
- It is too touch sensitive (I keep accidently ringing people & wasting credit).
- I can NEVER get network which you need to call people, very time I try to ring it says emergency only!
- You can't hear people on the other side of the line which means I always text & never call because it is just simply pointless!
Also if you are looking for a great phone with lots to do on it, I don't recommend this one as it is pretty boring! I am thinking of changing mine after 1 year! Don't be persuaded by its good looks! I wouldn't really recommend this phone BUT I wouldn't say it is completely rubbish!

Overall, not a bad phone as phones go. However, if you wish to use it outdoors in anything other than darkness, well forget it! Maybe it's me, but whenever I try to use the phone outdoors I cannot see any of the screen due to the glare. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, I can receive music etc via the Bluetooth option but whenever someone sends me a photo, it won't load. My opinion, don't buy if you want something you can use!

The screen has cracked on the INSIDE so I can hardly see the screen! How it happened, I don't know, because I treated this thing like my baby! I have to get a different phone now, but I am still gutted.
AS WELL, the new text alerts are very quiet, so I am constantly missing texts & calls. The MP3 if good, but the camera could be better. The phone keeps switching itself off when in my pocket & the screen once went blank.

I know at least 4 people who have had this phone & the same thing has happened to them all. The screen will either go blank, freeze, or go negative, when it's slid open. After sending it off for software repairs, it happened again after 3 months. It's now past its year warranty (despite being fixed for the same problem only 3 months ago) & LG don't want to know.
You can't change the text ringtones to ones you upload (the only OK one of the 4 available is a very quiet car horn). No loudspeaker. Terrible battery life when watching videos or listening to mp3s.
It's a shame because it's one of the sleekest designs I've ever seen, it really is gorgeous. When you first use it & get used to the touchpad (which can get annoying sometimes when you stray over to the next button slightly), it's very satisfying. However, it is easily the worst phone I've had because it's software is so awful. I am back onto Nokia's as soon as I can upgrade. I'll turn a blind eye to any LG products from now on.

Because of this I'd advise you not to buy one from abroad because to get it repaired under guarantee you usually have to send it to the shop you bought it from.
I am surprised to hear many people say that they have low features. By the way this is to all those who said something about there being no speaker volume, the Speaker Volume Is On the Side Of the Phone (There Are Two Arrows)!
Have fun with your phones whatever they are & by the way, what's with all the hater comments? If there is something you truly don't like mention it don't just state how much you don't like it!

I've had this phone for 15 months now. Although I think the phone is very sexual looking & so easy to use. It's been playing up! It's been fine for around a year. Now it cuts out when I am on a call, battery life is about 12 hours, I have to recharge it nightly & whilst on charge if I get a call or a text. I can't look or answer & if or when I pull out the charger, it calls the last number on my call list, by its self. & it will send a reply to a text blank by its self.
It switches itself off in my bag. I get around 30 minutes call time before the battery dies, but when I put it back on. The battery life goes up? Self charges. Ha ha.
It's quite annoying. I have ordered a new battery let see if that helps. I love the phone, also I have learnt to text in the dark. As the keypad doesn't light up!

I love this phone it's so easy to use. It is very easy to scratch. It's disappointing that you can only get four message tones & then there are millions of ringtone I don't see the point in that, it would be better if you could have different text tones. Apart from that I think its fabulous phone for all ages.

The LG Chocolate is a really great buy for people who want style without the price the of a LG viewty. When the red lights fade away you're left with a minimalistic beauty. It has good featured for a phone of this price with a 1.3 mp camera & video player. Also it has a 128MB built in memory. This is the problem, it has no memory card slot if it did it would be the ultimate phone. Does anybody know if the chocolate can be unlocked to 3. I like the touch screen but can become annoying but the novelty doesn't wear off.

I have had this phone now for almost 2 years. It's not the best to be honest. If it's in your pocket it will just switch itself off. If the battery is fully charged it will be empty after 2 short phone calls & a couple of texts. If you want to listen to music or want to use the camera make sure it's fully charged & you are able to charge it straight after. Quite annoying.
The touch pad is OK you get used to it, texting is fine. You can't get any other pictures sent from another phone because they are always too big. Doesn't matter what kind of mobile it's coming from.
All in all I would not recommend anybody to buy this phone it looks good but it works badly.

To begin with, the LG KG800 looks fantastic, great work!
But don't be fooled, the phone has very little features even simple things that a Nokia 3315 has, this phone lacks. The volume is horrible, the camera is despicable, message tone cannot be changed to anything besides the default tones, & there is NO loudspeaker. The alarm does NOT come on when the phone is off.
Good Design, poor effort in features & touchpad.

Worst parts are the text message tone is so quiet & vibrate function is poor (On this point alone, I returned it). Predictive text doesn't remember words that you save & if you're used to texting fast on a Nokia, the LG will disappoint you. It took me ages to write texts!

THIS IS the WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD & I've had a few!
I bought it 4 months ago. Almost straight away the phone would turn itself off & on again & when you have pin, it doesn't just turn itself on again while in your pocket! It would cut out during calls & texts & well just about everything really!
& it wasn't just turning off & on occasionally it was like 20 times a day!
If I got a text it would vibrate until I read the text. Because I leave my phone upstairs sometimes it was vibrating for 3 hours!
It would randomly scroll through stuff. Messages, memos, contacts etc & all you could do was sit & watch it & then to stop it you had to turn it off.
When writing texts it would suddenly just decide to send it half way through, not as bad if your not replying to someone & it doesn't have somebody to send it to automatically but bloody annoying as anything if you are replying!
The touch screen would freeze ALL the TIME & the only way to sort that out, was to turn it off & on again, that especially used to drive me barmy!
Also when your listening to music through the MP3 you can't go out of that & do something else like text someone, I know that's not a fault but that's just real annoying!
& now. After 4 months, I bought it as brand new phone. I pull it out of my pocket last night & it's got a bright white screen with a bit of black streak. So I think oh goody another fault, turn it off & on. & it's just utterly & completely broken.
DON'T buy this phone! The worst thing EVER & I will NEVER buy another LG again!

LG chocolate kg800 is one of the more distinct phones & has been on the market for quite a while now & it still never gets old. This phone consists of three major parts the touchpad, the key & number pad & the back. This phone has a good spring inside that when you open it, it doesn't feel like it's going to break. It feels natural. The chocolates touch pad is quite unique it feels & works very well but sometimes you may end up hitting the wrong key. The slide out key pad is good to some degree. The buttons aren't hard to hit & they feel very good once pressed & respond in a fast way, although if you have big fingers you may have trouble hitting some of the keys. The battery life is a tad above average & the screen is nicely illuminated. One bad thing about this phone is that if you have big hands than this may not be the phone for you.
Overall this is an awesome phone & I would recommend it to anyone.

I got this phone & straight away I had problems. The screen went white when I slid it up or had a yellow tint or froze. Sometimes the touch pad also froze. The phone would turn itself off whenever it felt like it. The camera didn't work & was fuzzy or it froze completely & I had to turn my phone off & on again to make get it unfrozen. The video camera was just as bad as the normal camera. It wouldn't even let me look at the photos that were on it.

People always moan about this phone but I got it for my birthday & it is great. Comments on the fingerprints are quite true but if you just clean your hands dry & don't wear oily makeup LOL. It is completely fine. The speakers are very loud & the camera is awesome. However don't buy this phone on contract it's a waste of money buy it pay as you go & it's a lot cheaper I have found. If yours breaks I suggest instead of moaning you take it back & get a new phone. The battery life lasts about three days which isn't that bad. Also it does what it says it does, so if your a gadget freak, don't buy this phone. It's for looks & simplicity. Lastly the touch pad works very well & is very easy to use. (If you have fat fingers don't buy the phone). Laura x.

Had this phone for a few weeks & its absolute rubbish. I bought this when I dropped & broke my contract phone but am now upgrading to a Samsung G600. This phone has a mind of its own kept telling me I had voicemails but must have spent a small fortune calling voicemail only to be told NO MESSAGES! Now it is doing the complete opposite & am not being notified when I do have voicemails! I can't wait for my new phone to arrive tomorrow.
Another nasty thing about this phone not mentioned so much in the review is the lack of the keys lighting up, it is absolutely hopeless if you need to text in dim light. I have never had a phone where you cannot see the keys before.
All in all even for £40 avoid this phone.

The touch pad is OK but half the time it is unresponsive & the key pad is very stiff. The features are OK but the sound quality is awful.

The design is really nice but that is where it stops! The camera is poor & takes forever to focus after I have clicked the Capture button. The features are basic. It is quite hard to text because you have to press the buttons quite hard. The touch screen buttons get a bit annoying as well. It does not have extendable memory so space is very limited. You can only store about 20 songs, it may sound a lot but it's not! I would not really recommend this phone to anyone.

I bought my daughter this phone for Christmas. Good on the outside, nice design etc & the touchpad is in theory a nice feature. However, from day one, the phone has had a habit of doing everything that you ask it to perfectly within 5 minutes of picking it up & then. The phone develops a mind of its own. Totally random scrolling through menus, up & down, pressing OK on its own & entering different menus & files, even making calls. All whilst you sit there & watch it, totally bizarre, ultimately frustrating.
This goes on forever, the only way to stop it is to turn it off. Then on restart it's great again for 5 minutes or so, then off we go again.
So, in my experience a piece of flawed genius. I am sure it must be faulty touchpad.

It's a nice phone, I have had it for about a year now. Although I am about to get a new one. There has been no technical problems, it's just it misses key features. The battery power is quite poor, it's let me down loads of times just when I needed it the most. The memory is quite low, & you can't expand it. It has always said my inbox is to full at only 140 texts or so, I am forced to delete some every time. The ringtone keeps changing itself, I can't set it to my own tune because it always goes back to one that came with the phone. The camera quality is also quite poor, I need better pictures. Apart from that thought (LOL), it's a nice phone & I didn't have any technical issues with it. If you are just looking for a stylish phone that you just want to use as a phone & texts, then go for it.

I am now on my second chocolate phone, but not due to my first one breaking! I bought my first chocolate whilst on contract as I got impatient waiting to upgrade & just HAD to have the chocolate phone (was very new out & cost me a fortune). I absolutely adored this phone when it arrived & couldn't stop playing with it for hours!
Everything about it was ideal & it lasted me a full year with plenty of drops, smashings & soakings, & it survived well. It even got passed onto a friend when I upgraded (to another chocolate! ) & it lasted her well until it took a nasty drop & broke.
However the story with my new LG chocolate is very different, my first one really impressed me & I didn't hesitate in getting a new (free) one when I had the chance.
However I am now 4 months away from my upgrade (after having it nearly a year) & my phone has given up. The screen freezes, it changes colour often (from purple to silver etc) & it often freezes on a blank white screen as many others have said. This has disappointed me as my first one really impressed me, whether this is down to laziness in producing them now they aren't as new I don't know. I am currently looking to buy a new phone before my upgrade as this one is just driving me insane! Constantly having to switch it off & on again to get rid of the white screen!
The only downside to the features of the LG Chocolate (well the first one! ) is the lack of speakerphone, & I couldn't store very many songs. The battery life got worse over time but wasn't any worse than other phones I have had. However it gave you very little warning when it was dying!
Overall I have loved my chocolates, even though this one has let me down at the end I still love it as a phone, they are surprisingly very durable & tough. The USB cable is great & very easy to use, uploading songs & photos couldn't be simpler. Last year I would have screamed at you to buy one, however the quality seems to have dropped. The style remains stunning, definitely a head turner. They are really cheap phones to buy now, so I would recommend it as they don't cost much at all!

I have read reviews, on the new phone I want to get, & the reviews didn't seem that good. Mates got the phone & said it was great. So decided to come on the reviews of the phone I have got now & I have read the negative ones, & I am totally against them. Haven't had any problems with them phone, my battery don't last as long as it used to, but that's my fault not the phones, because I have charged the phone too much & have made the battery life too low. I personally think the phone is very stylish ;). Also the camera is really good well I thought, it's a phone not a camera. It's for texting & calling, & the camera for a phone I thought was very good. My phone hasn't turned off at all when it's not supposed to. Either people aren't treating it right, or have had bad luck. Or either I am treating it to well, which isn't like me. Dropped the phone, plenty of times on hard floors still working properly. So I totally disagree with all the negative comments on this phone. Only thing putting me off buying the new phone I want to is these negative comments.
If you like the look or sound of this phone, then go for it.

Had this phone for just about a year & I have to say after all the hype it got I am not impressed at all. The only good thing that came out of it was the fact when I bought it, it was £100 & two weeks after they dropped the price & the store I brought it from gave me 20 quid back. The predictive text is terrible & will not store abbreviated words so you have to type them in manually every time. It does not save any ring tones you want to be played when the phone rings, it deletes photos without asking, the picture quality is terrible, the memory is terrible & will only store a few songs before going into complete meltdown, not to mention the fact the battery only lasts two maybe three days at the most. The touch sensitive buttons are OK but don't try to use if you are out in the cold (because they won't respond) or if you are too hot (they will work without you touching them! ). Hh yeah & it switches off without any notice too which is great when you're on a call or in the middle of writing a text. The look of the phone is nice & stylish & small enough to fit into a pocket or bag but if you want a phone to use on a regular basis without getting very stressed with it don't get this one. Looking to get a Samsung in the very near future.

At first I loved it, it was perfect for a teenage girl like me, it's a stunning phone to look at & a must have fashion accessory. After I got over the looks I realised the phone had many bad points. It has a habit of switching itself off during texts, even if the battery is full. The camera is very poor, & eventually just stopped working. I can never get a signal even if I am outside. The phone is prone to horrible, visible scratches which make it lose its stunning look.
I learned to live with these, but when I switched it on the other day it was just a plain white screen. I couldn't even turn it off. I took it into the shop & they said it was my fault.

All of you lot who are getting a white screen or anything like that then it's your fault I've had this phone for like 2 years & it's fine, I have had no problems, I mean yeah it could hold a few more photos but you can easily buy a camera & I don't use phones for photos I use them for texting & MP3's, my phone holds more than 50 songs so I would recommend this phone just in case you don't break it & blame the people who make it because all of your phones are breaking less than a couple of months & I've had it for 2 years & I haven't had any problems what so ever!
I've had it for ages now & I haven't had any problems & mine holds loads of songs more than 23, & I love the colour of it my brothers have the silver & black one so I don't get any problems & I think it was only like £40 which is cheap compared to the people on here who get it for £100.

I have had this phone for over a year know & the battery life is rubbish! Ever since I bought this phone it's always switched itself of! The camera, well what can I say, poor quality & zoom. I do like the MP3 player & that about the only thing I like about this phone. The memory isn't too great it can only hold 30 songs at the most, for me this isn't good as I am a music fan. The touch buttons sometimes are extremely sensitive. I do not recommend this phone to anyone.

I really wanted this phone & thought it was great to start with but then after a while I got bored of the rubbish signal & not being able to access my inbox on random occasions also the battery sign is misleading if you have three bars then it's fine but as soon as it drops to two you have about an hour before it completely runs out which is irritating I thought it would be relatively free from glitches as I got it a while after it came out so the company would have time to fix any major faults but I was wrong so if you want a phone that looks good but aren't one for actually using it then this is for you but if you want to be able to call/text people then look into another phone.

I hate this phone with a passion! I've had my phone for about a year, & chose a nice pink version as I wanted something a bit funky at the time, & thought that LG would be a good brand. Before this, I had a Samsung & the texting function was rubbish on it.
Anyway, I loved my phone for the first month or so, it was a lot easier than the Samsung to use, & is a really stunning phone to look at. It has lots of nice wallpapers & tones, fairly easy to use, lovely exterior design & unusual in a nice way.
But after you get over the way it looks, & have to live with it, you soon come to despise it! My phone likes to switch itself off all of the time, low battery or not, particularly during texts. This is apparently a software default, & I did get it fixed the first time it happened. But the problem just comes back & never really goes. I couldn't get a signal in my flat either, & despite best efforts to protect the phone it is now extremely scratched. The sound quality is pants as well, & battery constantly changes how much it thinks it's charged. This isn't a phone for a medium to heavy user like myself. It's a phone for teenage girls who use it on the weekend.
I've now come to the end of my contract & gone back to a good old Nokia! I feel very happy that I can throw this piece of posing rubbish in the bin.
Whey hey!

Well to be totally honest this phone was the worst phone I've ever had! Nothing worked properly from day 1 & when I tried taking it back apparently it was my fault.
After just 6 months of it playing up it died on me. The screen started to play up & then went totally blank. I have heard this has happened before 6 months as well so apparently I am lucky but when I brought this phone it was brand new & cost a lot! Now I am going to have to buy a new phone & I am definitely not getting another one of them.

Been in washing machine for 1/2 hour & 3 days later it lived. I have always had trouble with it turning on. As it is slow, v. Popular & lots of people have it which doesn't make it as special. Not v.

The LG KG800 is a good phone. When I say phone I mean to phone people with because the camera is pretty good & it has that annoying thing where you can't' use MP3 for the message alert. Also all phones should have an option of extra memory which this phone doesn't have. I use it as my second phone & enjoy using it.

This was without a doubt the best phone I have ever had. I loved the design (I had it in pink) I also had it on pay monthly for a year. The camera for 1.3 mp was great. It was easy to use & never had a problem with touch sensitive buttons.
However, it broke in June this year, after having it for 6 months, the screen would go a funny colour, or white & the camera wouldn't work. I sent it away & it came back working but 4 months later, the same problem happened again. That's why I got a new phone but it's definitely not as good.
Four of my friends got the same phone & my mum after they saw mine, if it hadn't been for the breakage it would be fantastic!
Reviewer: Clare - UK
Date: 12th Dec 2007
Fell in love with it at first sight, very nice looking phone but I wasn't at all pleased. The memory isn't good only allowing about 30 songs to save & there is only a limited amount of memory for messages, only room for 150 messages.
Camera isn't that good & isn't quick to come on. My LG chocolate broke randomly (well I think randomly) as my screen starting going all white & I couldn't see what I was doing, but I could still hear the message tones go off & even my mobile ring.
I sent it away to get fixed & it took about 2 to 3 weeks or maybe more to replace the screen & when I got it back after a while it had broken again with the same problem, this time I had dropped it twice & the first time it only switched itself off & then came back to life.
Quite a good amount of my friends had gotten the LG chocolate & about 5/6 of them had their LG broke on them. Expected more & was overall disappointed.

If you're reading this review, you may well be considering this phone on the second hand market. For this it would be great. I've had mine for a year & I am, for the first time, considering staying with it without upgrading.
I like a phone to be a good phone not compromised by extra features. The video, camera, MP3 etc are all great, but I rarely use them. As a phone it is superb, small, light, stylish, reliable & user friendly. The battery life of the phone is still fantastic & I have never made a call by accident. Best phone I've ever had.

This phone in my opinion is a unique & unusual phone. It's really cheap now at a price of £40 to £60. You get what you pay for. It's a good phone which clearly has a brilliant sleek design. It has many features the best one the touch screen buttons but why are people complaining about it being too sensitive? It's a touch sensitive phone what do you expect it to be also it's a very cheap phone which is worth its money. The only bad thing is that the Bluetooth is awfully slow & can take about 2 minutes for a picture.
For the amount of money you're paying what do you expect it has a decent camera very stylist & if you want one it's the best time to get one! Many Thanks for Reading.

The touch keypad is quite annoying when it makes calls by accident but it's not too bad. I want to get the Nokia 7373 for Xmas because my mate has it & she says it's really good.

Reviewer: Sean - UK
Date: 5th Dec 2007
I've had this phone for about 7 months now. The design is pretty nice, the glowing red touch-pad buttons are good & look half decent. The slide function is very strong unlike some of the Nokia slide phones which get weak & wobble after a month or two of sliding use.
I had a Nokia 3110 before this one & have only had Nokias before this one. This causes most of my issues I have with the phone I think. The most annoying thing for me was the predictive text. On the Nokia it automatically changes to uppercase lettering after a full-stop. Not on the LG. You have to cycle through all the other case options to get back to capitals.
As others have said the Bluetooth is average at best & very slow for file transfers. Having no memory card slot means you're going to be transferring files quite allot if you plan to use it for music. You will get fed up waiting for it to complete the download.
I found the touch sensitive buttons to work quite nicely & haven't had any problems with them.
The design is nice & makes it a very desirable phone for its looks but its software, features & Bluetooth issues ruin it. A real shame.
I am now upgrading to the Nokia 7500 Prism which has the distinctive looks, the features & it has the Nokia software too.
If however you just want a phone for taking/making calls only, this one does nicely & its price is always dropping.

This phone is gorgeous. I haven't had any problems with it & I've had it for a year. The camera is definitely of a high standard. The effects are an added bonus. Since buying it, many people I know have tried mine out & bought it. Bluetooth, no problems & much better than infra-red. The MP3 is very useful, considering it's not even a Walkman phone, it holds a LOT of songs. I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend.
Some have said (above) that the touch pad is too sensitive. Well DUH it's a touchpad. What are you meant to do, whack it with a mallet before it responds? Try buying a Nokia 3310. Modern technology is obviously not for you (the Nokia 3310 also comes with a GREAT black & white screen! ) the Sudoku has also been mentioned I believe. It's sad how people spend so many hours of their life using the games on their phones. I am not sure about this but I think most people get phones for communications? Who gives a monkeys about the games on a phone? Honestly, how often are you going to be so bored & have absolutely nothing to do that you will play on your phone? Get a life, buddy.

Having bought 2 of these phones at the same time last Christmas (1 for me & 1 for my daughter) I know there must be a fault with them, because we both experienced the same problems at the same time!
The screens going blurred, fuzzy & locking. Took them both back to CPW (as it was within the 1 year warranty). They were sent away to be fixed, my daughters came back fine, but mine was the same by the next day! But they did give me a replacement. So far it has been OK.
Although sometimes when I want to make a call, the other person can hear me but I can't hear them (the problem goes if I turn it off then back on). Touch screen is VERY sensitive. Have made calls & sent texts without realising! LOL It scratches very easily too.
The ring & volume isn't very loud. The thing I miss the most is being able to personalise my own ring tones. You have to use the LG preset ones. I would not recommend buying this phone. It was all hype when it came out. But the proof is in the reviews.
Can't wait for Christmas to get a new one! I want a SAMSUNG if my hubby is reading this! Ha ha.

This phone is very good looking but the faults are just not worth it. It is very unpredictable. I was talking to the lady in the phone shop & she says this phone does have these problems but it does not happen in all of them. Do yourself a favour & don't take any chances with this phone.

I got this phone last Easter & it's the best phone I have ever had. The design is perfect & so easy to slip into your jeans pocket & not worry about. The touch sensitive screen was very easy to use (even my dad can use it! ).
I am getting a new phone as the LG is now looking a bit worse for wear, very scratched & accidentally took a dip into the sea whilst on holiday in August.
I am definitely going to miss my lovely little Chocky but am very much looking forwards to getting a Sony Ericsson K850i soon.

Had this phone for 12 months (on a contract).
While I must say it is a nice looking phone with some nice features, good quality screen & a nice selection of sounds, the build material is just really bad. It scratches incredibly easy, & the plastic is really weak. At this moment the battery is being held in place by a sticker, since the catch simply 'pinged' out a few months ago. Also the silver ring around the OK button has begun to wear away.
Also the clock seems to freeze until I slide the phone open, there are a few technical faults with the phone.
Basically it looks good on the shelf, but over time you'll realize how quickly it turns into a nightmare. Avoid this wolf in sheep's clothing!

I have had this phone for 10 months now & it has been an OK phone. The battery Life is Terrible though I charge it all night & alls I have to do is listen to a song & it the battery would go, I would be in the middle of a phone call & it would just turn off. It has frozen a few times too & also just went off for no reason. Sometimes I can never get a signal which is annoying when you want to send a text message to someone but can't because of the bad network service, It's a good phone but I don't think I would recommend it but that's just Me!

This phone is great. Why are all these people saying its rubbish? If you take good care of the phone you will be really pleased with it I have had mine on 18 month contract & I have loved the phone since I have had it. & I know people when you drop, it still works! I have had this phone or like I said 18 month & I have drop it many times. It's got dents & everything in it & it still works. The camera on it is much better than any other 1.3 mp it's more like a 2 mp. The sound is great as along with everything else. Also it's packed with everything headphones, charger, USB & USB rom etc. finished off in a lovely great designed box.
The reason why I place 95% for usability because I don't really if use the alarm & all the rest of it but if I did I know it would be great just like the rest off the phone. If you are thinking off buying this phone go ahead don't be put off by other people they probably have miss treated it.

I bought this phone in August last year, after having the Sony Ericsson k750i & experiencing no problems. I admit I bought it for the looks & didn't look much into the reviews!
Firstly in the first month of having the phone I had to send it back as when making phone calls the other person couldn't hear anything I was saying! I sent it back to the shop & was given a loan phone until mine was fixed!
Now I thought this was the end of my problems until the same thing happened twice again they refused to give me a new phone so just fixed the fault three times!
Even though the phone has had a number of problems I still loved the design of it, & was upset when it was stolen on holiday a year after purchasing the phone! I am now due for an upgrade & am looking more into the reviews so as not to have the same problems next time round! The features on it aren't great there OK the camera isn't amazing it's just good! As for the usability you just need to get used to the touch screen it's not hard, after a while!
Overall I do not regret buying the phone & even after all my problems with it I still love my phone & miss it : (.
Reviewer: Jo - UK

It lacks quite a few of the major features that many phones that are in production now, have. I know people who work in the industry & they have said that this phone was cost cutting & that it is quite possibly one of the worst phones around at the moment.
That being said I personally have had very few problems with it. I am not that great with technology but even I am able to figure out how most of the applications work although some of them are a bit faulty. For instance I have trouble sending messages even though I have plenty of signal. The speakers & MP3 in general aren't that great, whilst writing texts the key pad is stiff & doesn't always work efficiently & the ring tone I have chosen works for some calls but not others (but maybe that is just me being simple! ) People are saying that the picture or the colour fades, I have had no such problems. It is not a great phone but it does what phones are meant to do & that is allowing incoming & outgoing calls. I would not recommend buying this phone there is no point you may as well spend your money on something that will last & continue working properly for a long time!

I have had this phone for a couple days now & obviously, nothing has gone wrong & I hope it stays that way! I absolutely love it, it's my first ever mobile phone & I bought it for $80 plus warranty, which is kind of idiotic if they can't repair a cracked screen (if that ever occurs).

I had the PINK one! Well what can I say, I loved this phone (& secretly still do) but I have had problems with it:
- the touch screen is something to get used of- if you're going to complain about it don't buy a touch screen phone!
- I did have to return my first LG Chocolate because after each text it turned itself off & then back on.
- I did scratch it, but that was because I used to put it in my bag without a case (because I lost it! ). The silver around the edge also scratched off (possibly my fault too).
- Then last week the colours on the phone went negative! Everything was the wrong colours. But I got on with it as I have had it 11 months.
- Then the screen copied itself 4 times so I have 4 smaller version of the screen.
- Now it's all a blur & I have had to put it to rest.
- Upgraded it to a Samsung u600 but just read the reviews, oops! Think I am going to have another problematic phone : (.

Reviewer: Phone Lover - East Coast, US
Date: 4th Oct 2007
I reside in US (East Coast) was looking for unique & good unlock phone since none of the US carrier companies have descent phones (they look like paper weights). This phone is a tri-band, & if you are not in heavy metro city area the phone does not get reception. The only carrier it will work well is T-mobile since most of their phones are tri-band technology based but since their carrier is poor, it's no use. The only good coverage GSM phone carrier in US is AT&T & you need quad band unlocked phone to work well. I learned the hard way. The review of this phone, online, states that the phone works in US with GSM carriers. Yeah it works but hardly ever.
I use this phone as paper weight now & as a MP3 player. I also learned from a phone techie that LG phones, no matter what spec, it does not work well with AT&T. Nokia, Motorola & Sony works well, stated by a phone techie here in US.
Side note: (I heard Verizon will start to support GSM phones but I don't know how well it will work since they got V-cast junk on all their phones. This might arise compatible issues if you are looking for unlock phones).

If your looking for a phone that looks good then this is the phone for you, but that is where the good POINT ends, I have owned this phone since January 2007 it has been replaced twice & repaired four times, I think that the build quality of these phones leave a lot to be desired, only buy one if you intend to put it on display to look at it & not actually use it for what it is intended to be used for. The software on this phone is poor to say the least it frequently freezes or the screen will go white (very good to use as a torch but no good if you need to talk on the thing) buy this phone at your own peril, don't say I didn't warn you, better off going for the Samsung E900 or similar do not touch the LG chocolate with a barge pole best spend your money on something with reliability.

Battery life is up to a week, I've charged about 5 or 6 times & I got my phone a month & a half ago. I use it regularly too. The only bad feature that I've actually seen on it is that it gets dirty/scratches really easily.
I've heard of the sliding mechanisms breaking, but it's pretty stable unless you're rough with opening it or something. Either way, it's definitely not a garbage phone, it works great, pretty customizable & has an awesome battery life.
It's really not that bad. The only person who has ever complained about it that I know was pretty rough with it: dropped it down a staircase, threw it on to his desk a fair bit. So of course it was bound to break eventually. Anyway, it's worth the 50 bucks it costs when you get a 3 year $15/month plan with unlimited everything.

This phone is fit (very attractive)! It does everything I want it to, & it's got a good clear sound. The Bluetooth works without any problems, & I am now a convert to touch-screens.
Battery life is a bit of a downer, but that's the price of fashion. Mine has lasted over a year, & is still in fine fettle. (Touch wood).
Use the free velvet case that came with it to stop it from getting scuffed. Oh, & don't drop it. They don't bounce easily.
If the Prada is as good as this or better, I am definitely going to get one.

THIS phone IS RUBBISH! Seriously, DO NOT BUT IT! I've had mine for nearly a year & when I first got it I thought it was great but as the weeks went by I hated it more & more & now I just want rid of it!
Good points:
- It looks good.
- Doesn't make annoying clicky sounds when you are texting.
- Camera is actually quite good.
Bad point:
- Battery life is rubbish, camera drains it after 5 minutes like everything else does.
- No radio.
- Can't have MP3 message tone.
- In order to have slide tone turned on you have to have the annoying effects turned up. So every time you send a message the noise it makes drains your battery EVEN MORE.
- No memory card option.
- Surface wears off keypad buttons.
- Scratches VERY easily.
- Automatically saves messages to outbox.
- Has no loud speaker!
- End call button is on side of the phone.
- In 'my stuff' has something called text, I have no idea what this is & it doesn't tell you in the book it comes with.
- 1 socket for headphones, charger & USB so can't listen to music whilst charging.
- When you get a voice mail every time you slide the phone up it alerts you & you have to cancel it before you can do anything (if you are anything like me & get through credit quickly then this is very annoying as you can't listen to it to make it go away).
- Pictures are not saved in alphabetical order.
Basically, it is rubbish & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! There are much better phones out there, what's the point in having a phone that looks good but can't function properly! Wish I'd of read these reviews before blowing £150 on it!

The design is pretty cool, however I have had some major problems & probably the worst phone ever to cause me problems, sometimes it will tell you that you have 3 cells left on battery & next time you have none & the biggest problem of them all. IT KEEPS SWITCHING OFF, especially when I am writing a message which is pretty annoying. & the letters you have to text are short so it's very easy to run over into 2 texts. I wouldn't recommend it!
Reviewer: Amber - London, UK
Date: 30th Aug 2007
I wanted this phone for ages because of the way they described in advertising where they would only point out the positive things about the phone & leave the negative things out. The design is very eye catching & it is a great fashionable phone therefore I only recommend this phone to people who are interested in the design & not the features or usability. However, this phone will only last you a couple of months because the touch sensitive keys will stop working & the phone will crash & automatically switch itself off. It may last you more than a couple of months if you are lucky however it certainly will not last you over a year.
The phone easily scratches so eventually the phone will not be as good looking as it once was. Most people will only buy this phone to impress others & I strongly suggest that you do not do this because it will only make you end up wasting your money. The battery life is very poor & you can't store many songs. Also, the network connection is very slow, even the emergency calls take long to load. Overall in my opinion this phone is the worse phone out so far, Nokia phones are way better. I am sure that many people agree with me. Do not take any chances with this phone & hope that your luck will turn because you will end up making a huge mistake by buying this phone.

The messaging at first is good but gets slower & is really annoying, sometimes it doesn't type what I want. Calling is good I can hear clearly but the signal is really bad. It says you can get a picture for who's calling but mine doesn't work!
Bluetooth is really slow & several times I have had to turn my phone off & on, But now I keep it on all the time. You can hide or show it. I have dropped it loads & it hasn't given up on me! I think it's made it slower though. Phonebook is OK it stores loads of contacts.
The touchpad is rubbish, it sometimes goes on something different to what I tell it to & it sometimes doesn't even work. The Internet is good but the graphics are big perhaps, too big but goes quite fast. All in all I think this phone is OK but I wouldn't recommend it to people.

After having Nokia phones for the last 15 or so years, I decided to have a change & went for the LG.
I have been attempting to use it for the last six months & have come to the conclusion that this piece of equipment cannot possibly be categorised as a phone, however I do give it full marks for being mobile!
If fails, quite spectacularly, at it's most basic function of allowing the user to communicate with others, either verbally or by text.
I will admit that I have not suffered many of the problems encountered by other's who have reviewed this device, & will further admit that I live in an area which suffers from bad reception, (& that includes all mobile phone operators), but even my previous phone (Nokia 6280) would allow me to make & receive calls & text messages. Also the Nokia would quite happily remain powered for up to seven days, as opposed to the LG, which lasts for a mere one & a half.
I have found many other problems with the LG, but it seems pointless to list them when it fails at such a basic level. Yes, the phone looks good, even beautiful, & some may purchase it just this simple fact. But if you want a phone that works as a phone, do not buy the LG. Buy anything else & I would even go so far as to recommend two tins & a piece of string!

A week of having it back something happened to the speaker when receiving or making phone calls the person the other end could hear me but I could not hear them. Back to CPW they were so unhelpful they ended up sending for a replacement phone this took 3 weeks to arrive. Got a replacement phone & had the problem & same procedure 3 times by the 4th phone I had I was truly sick of it was so unreliable could not call it a phone as it never worked to make calls, CPW was really unhelpful but in the end after about 4 months of arguing with them they agreed to change the phone however as I needed a phone during the 4 months had no choice but to take another contract out I now have the Samsung F300 no complaints what so ever had it about 2 months all seems well, CPW exchanged my phone for the Motorola k1 which I read reviews just as bad as this LG so my advice stay away from CPW & away from LG phones it will cause you nothing but problems, (CPW gave me a phone with no manuals or charger a lot of good it is! ).

My friend has this phone so I play with it often. The touch screen is quite fiddly but once you get use to it, it's really is no problem, but the keypad is also very annoying. I found it difficult to text with & often have to press it multiple times before I get the write letter.

Reviewer: Lady Lara - Antrim, UK

I brought this phone because it looked very cool & unlike any phone that I had seen before. At first the touch pad was very fiddly & you can erase your texts or send them without finishing or wanting to. Then I started to have software problems & let's just say LG were not in too much of a hurry to do anything about it. Took 28 days be 4 my phone came back. In the mean time I went back to my old phone, which is much better even though it's a much older phone. The messaging alerts on the LG are very quiet & there on no volume to turn it up (if your hard of hearing) but I am not & I still found the phone was to quiet to hear! As for the message alerts tones there is only a few & not very nice ones at that! Ringtones are good & lots of them. There is no speaker on the phone. So yet another down point the surface of the phone can get marked very easy if you're not too careful. There are no animated screen savers except a clock which comes on for a minute or so & them gets plunged in to darkness. No animated wallpapers & what there is on the phone are, well let's say rubbish. Overall when I eventually got my phone back from LG with its upgraded software & gizmos I decided I had had enough & now selling it on eBay to get (dare I say it ) a older phone with the bits I wanted on it. When I paid £100 pound for this phone 6 months ago I expected a lot from it & was sadly let down. COME ON LG pull your finger out & get a better phone out that will amaze us all! Without us paying a mortgage to buy it!

I wanted this phone so badly I wouldn't listen to any of the bad reviews, don't make the same mistake, its horrendous. I have wanted to throw this phone across the room so many times & Orange keep telling me to reset the settings, thus losing pictures of my premature niece & all my numbers numerous times. The camera went to taking green photos recently (by the way had this phone just 5 months) now camera doesn't work at all, just freezes & won't even turn off. Screen goes white, splits it four sections, turns itself off, in a word its practically unusable most of the time. Screen is badly scratched, touch screen does what it wants & don't even start me on the rubbish alarm & message tones there prehistoric. I know I sound like a whinger but I am really not, take my advice & get something else, id rather have my d600 back it never let me down.

All I can say is that I am very, very happy that I am getting to the end of my contract. I have had this phone for 11 months & it is without a shadow of a doubt the worst phone I have ever, ever had the misfortune of owning.
The design is fantastic & I have not had problems with the battery like others but in terms of functionality, it is terrible. The first couple of months everything was great & then all of a sudden, it stopped working. Phone keyboard is far too sensitive. It stops in the middle of texting, you get the dreaded white screen. I am on my third phone this year & the beginning of September, I am throwing it away & I just cannot wait. Avoid the phone at all costs, I got it for free & I still think that I paid too much for it!

The LG Chocolate. When this phone 1st come out I knew I had to get it. I love the design but with in 2 -3months of having it the screen went white & every time I went to slide it up the screen would go white & freeze. I am now on my second LG. This one is not much better because it says I have a voice mail so I go & ring voice mail & it says you do not have a voice mail. This is a pain because it causes me money because it just rings it when ever because of the touch screen. It also scratches very easily. I most say they are not very good for every day to day use because of the battery. Every time you go to take a picture you take one & it then says low battery! .I am now charging the LG every day & about 2 times a day. Also the Touch pad can be too sensitive or it won't work & you have to push it really hard. Also sometimes when you push the up bottom the down touch bottom will go. So you find your self working up side down. But What I will say is good about it is that the memory on it is very good they are better than the shine. The shine memory is not as good as the LG chocolate memory. But the shine is better in most ways.
If your going to buy an LG chocolate then good luck. If any one has any way or knows how to sort my voice mail out please post on this blog. I will be very great full! Thanks a lot Bernadette.

The battery goes down by like 2 bars if she gets a phone call, even if it's for 2 minutes. She has had to change it at the CPW 3 times (they get snotty about this) & it has happened the same all 3 times! One more thing to add is the phone fades in colour & the camera never works! If you do not want these problems do not buy this phone! Thanks.

Phone keeps shutting itself off. Typically just after you get a call. Then you have to turn it back on again, & wait for it to connect to the network (which can take a while) before you call the person back.

Hey, had my LG Choc phone for about 1 year when I got it stolen! However it was only stolen because it's such a great phone. Don't know what everyone is on about, its fab! Touch screen seemed a bit daunting at first but you get used to it straight away! Memory is great. Loads of pics & about 20 songs. Camera is super! Great pixels or whatever they are! Really chic design as well.
If your wondering whether to go 4 this or not, then do. It's Brilliant! No probs what so ever! BUY IT NOW!

This is the first MP3 phone that I have ever owned. Admittedly picked this phone on the fact it's just so pretty, esp. The pink version (which I bought). Initial opinion of the phone was that it was amazing, the touch pad controls looked amazing. The phone was just pretty sleek in my opinion, the packaging also was cool, like a chocolate box. Anyway, the phone was very interesting & easy to get use to. But then I started to get bugged by some of its features:
- MP3 player - Volume wasn't loud enough, when you choose them as your ringtones they just cannot be heard when out & about
- Camera - was difficult to control when taking self portraits, often easy to press the wrong button
- Touch pad controls - were hard to control at times, sometimes the buttons took a while to respond
- Photo album - not impression took ages to load photos
- File storage - you cannot move files from folder to folder, you have to do it when you're on your comp
- Battery life - you got to ask yourself. What battery life? the battery is bad, LG what do you think you are playing? I had this phone for 6 months, I mean come on, the time I could spend listening to music & talk on the phone just deteriorated, I mean what is that about?
- Buttons - Well I think LG were thinking it would be helpful to put a disconnect button on the side of the phone, I am sure it seemed the right thing to do at the time but it's just not practical. So many times I'd try to get the phone out my pocket & accidentally pressed the button when grabbing both sides of the phone.
But on the positive side the phone did look good, it was just so cool to slide it open to answer a call. The weight of the phone is quite light & the size fits comfortably in your pocket.
But as they say, looks aren't everything. I do not suggest buying this phone. I wasn't even heart broken for that long after I'd lost it in a taxi. I've already bought a replacement phone a couple days ago, the W660i, you can see my review for that. To be honest after buying my new phone I seem to think. What LG chocolate? It's a stylish phone but just not epic.

Well I got this phone in January so have had it 6 months or so & it I the worst phone I have ever brought I regret it so much, I brought it because of it looks as admittedly, it is a amazing looking indestructible phone as I have thrown it a million & one times because of it poor features & usability. The camera & video camera is good but the battery life is really poor. I have to charge mine every day & the storage for messages is very poor as you can only have 140 messages at one time. It turns itself off occasionally or freezes & don't even get me started on the signal, you can't send messages anywhere hardly or call anyone because the network is unavailable & it isn't the network because in my other phone that I keep spare I can send a message absolutely anywhere & have never had problem with Vodafone before!
I paid £190 for the white LG & after about 2 weeks I wanted to get rid of it because of all of the above & more including the fact that the touch screen can be impossible to use even my younger cousin finds it hard to push the right part of it to make it work! To be honest I wouldn't be paid to have one now!

The screen scratches far too easily & the battery life is just ridiculous for such a new phone. The memory is also a joke, I save no pictures on the phone & delete my messages frequently, yet there is only room for a maximum of 10 songs on it, absolutely pathetic, do not buy! It's also a very quiet phone & even though I have it at full volume, it's difficult to hear it ring unless you are right next to it.

Once I topped up fifteen pounds, then I tried to send a text straight after I had topped it up & it said insufficient funds please top up.

To set an MP3 as a ringtone you have to go to : contacts > caller groups > select a caller group > group ring tone > choose your MP3. I couldn't find this in the instructions but without this you will try & select your ringtone as per the instructions & drive yourself nuts when the same pre installed one continues. The idea of designating a caller group to a different ringtone is quite a handy one as soon as I hear Nellie the Elephant I know to ignore the call as it's my mother in law phoning!

It's done everything that it has supposed to do from day one, & it has done them superbly. What's better is that I am the only one that can use it, that means my friends etc can't snoop through my phone. The only complaint is that when the battery dies it makes no sound nor any warning, so when it does die it does it unpredictably which can be a bother also the call end button is hard to press so when you've got limited credit you don't want to waste precious money fumbling about with buttons. It's a great phone & I have had a good relationship with. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I am really pleased with this phone. I have recently got it & love it to bits. It's gorgeous, sleek, easy to use & simple. Once you get the hang of the touch pad its amazingly easy to use. The camera is perfect & the whole phone is amazing. SUCH a good buy, especially when I got it for £70 including airtime from Phones4U.

Apparently this phone has no bugs but. Since I bought mine in Nov 2006 I have been through not 1, not 2, not even 3 of these phones. Finally the forth phone I was sent died after 2 days.
Some of the problems in the 1st few phones I was sent out were: bad reception due to the phone & not network, the internal speaker didn't work, when it did it cut out, it kept turning itself off & the touch screen would randomly access itself, e.g.: it would call ppl, send sms's b4 they were done, access the net, ect.
The final phone that I was sent worked perfectly for about 2 days before the screen died. It turns white, swaps the left & right sides around, shows only the outlines or appears in the negative effect you use on photos. Basically you can never read the screen & most often than not it's working but a plain white screen. This phone also kept turning itself off randomly.
All but the very 1st phones were sent directly form the LG warehouse in aus - didn't even go through the dealer I bought my 1st KG800 form so it's not a fault of the store.
Now after having gone through 4 phones & only having a mobile for all off (collectively speaking over the period of 5 months) a month I am now swapping over to a Nokia 6288. So far out off the many ppl I know who have bought this phone only I have had this number of problems - however they all complainn about the very poor reception to the phone, poor speaker quality & its lack of features.
DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS PHONE! Not only because of the problems I have had but also - it lacks any real extra features. It is very basic in its capabilities & even my old brick of a Nokia & Sony Ericsson have more useable features. Don't be fooled by its good looks!

The connection for the battery to charge is faulty, I sent it away & it came back charged. Since then I bought 2 chargers from the company thinking it was just the charger its self! Of course it's the part inside the phone. I do not expect to pay this much for a phone & have it thrown in my face. I will not sustain my loyalty to the brand!

My girlfriends has this phone it looks good it some respects but for months after she got it she's had it repaired once because the screen went mad & then just went white until you turned it of & back on again & even then it wasn't right.
Then another month later the screen kept on flashing to the menu & she couldn't do anything about it we have given up on it because it's terrible I purchased her a d900 now & it's 1000 times better.
In our opinion don't even think about buying this phone it's shocking!

LG chocolate is the best phone I have ever had including a d900 chrome. It is just better all round except the camera is rubbish & the touch buttons can some times really annoy me. With the Samsung stuff you get using the USB cable doesn't always work due to the format but with the chocolate it works every time. Only other thing I can think of is the memory & loudness. Memory could be a little bit better or have a memory card slot like the Samsung & could have a loudspeaker so I can listen to my music louder. All in all I would have this phone any day compared to most phones.& another thing is that it is a lot more better & reliable than the Samsung e900 (my dad has one) so I would recommend this phone to anyone.

I bought this phone (cherry version) a month ago & for that time I had no problems at all. I dropped it maybe once or twice but it was fine afterwards & this was within the first week of getting it. I had no problems at all until today when I got to my locker at work & tried to turn it on & all that happened was the screen went white & then turns black every 10 seconds & then right back to a white screen. The keypad doesn't respond & I tried charging it but nothing at all. It's non responsive to everything I do to it. So I ended up going to the Verizon store to get a new one & they sent me on a wild goose chase because I didn't purchase the phone from them. So I went to the place where I got the phone (Best Buy, an electronics store), & they told me to go back to the Verizon store & then they were closed. BAD news. I rely on my phone for my job especially, so I was very upset with Verizon for this reason.
Well anyways, I called them up & I guess they already knew there was a problem so I pick up my new phone tomorrow morning, which is nice to know I don't get a rubbish refurbished one.
I would definitely paid $25 for it. So not bad :D
Good luck to everyone who is having problems & don't sweat about it too much.

I bought this phone in white 2 months ago & I love it! The good things are it comes with a dangly screen wipe & carry pouch, hang up button is on the side so you can't hang up on someone accidentally, all other functions are pretty good. The bad things about this phone are: no loud speaker, no memory card option, speaker isn't very loud (but comes with headphones), could only fit 10 songs with all the vids & pics I have got, which isn't a lot! I would recommend this phone a 9/10, & it looks great!

This phone has done nothing but hassle me from the moment I got it & NO ONE should be fooled by the design, it is the worst phone I've ever had in my life & I mean that. After just four months, the screen goes white, the keys have stopped working & I can't even type in my pin code to get into it. THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN.

OK, so it looks great until you start using it & your opinion of it goes straight down! I am now on my third LG chocolate on my 18 month contract! The first phone's screen suddenly started changing colour & then just went white & therefore I couldn't do anything with it at all! Then the next one's touch screen key pad was awful, it had a mind of its own & would constantly flash menus at you when you're trying to write a text message! Now on my third one, which however is now an LG shine as I've had enough of the chocolate, but looking at the Shine's reviews it doesn't look a lot better!

I went through 20-30 phones in my life easily, sometime using 2-3 phones at the same time. This has to be one of the worst phones in matter of functionality. Some $50 phone (without cam) can perform & handle better than this.

Looks wise this is a gorgeous phone. Features don't really mean anything to me, as long as I can send/receive calls & texts then I am happy. In all honesty I got this phone because of the way it looks. BIG MISTAKE. After much having my arm twisted I got TWO of these (1 black & 1 red) for me & my partner on contract. Within first 2 weeks I had to have mine replaced as the earpiece broke. Now 6 months on both mine & my boyfriend's phones have the same faults:
- Switching itself off when texting
- Screen going white in the middle of you doing something
- Earpiece just goes & you have to switch on/off to get it working again
- Even when slid down it just starts going through the favourites menu
- Won't turn off so you have to pop the battery out
I am currently considering sending mine in under warranty but I am so paranoid by reviews I have read, & that LG class it as misuse rather than electrical faults. These faults have now left my boyfriend unable to use his! Other things that are rubbish are the battery life (you have to charge EVERY night), signal is terrible (can't get none when it's been in my bag! ), when it gets cold it freezes till warmed up (not good when it's a winters morning & you've missed a bus & you need to call for a lift/taxi! ) So overall do not waste your money. Mines on contract & am stuck with it till April 08!

Firstly, fall all those struggling with the ringtone dilemma, look down the thread & check out the post from Rachael on 4th Jan - & it will solve the problem. I am just pleased I saw the post as it was driving me up the wall trying to find a solution - it is surely a bad technical fault that it won't change as the booklet describes.
This is my wife's phone. Personally, I find it a bit lacking in features & I find the touch screen thing frustrating. On a personal note, I would have dismissed this due to inability to expand on the 128MB memory.
However, to give it some plus points, it is all about personal taste. My wife is not so bothered about gadgets & the like. She just wanted a good looking phone that could be reliable & play her favourite tune as a ringtone. So far she is pleased although the whole ringtone issue has been annoying (& we thought was a bug that wouldn't be fixed) but I am about to tell her that the problem has been solved thanks to this forum! Her long-term happiness with the phone, who knows. ! (I'll tell her to avoid the rain judging by some of the other reviews!)

Other times it has frozen when it slides up so I have to work it without numbers so you can't text or anything & the touch buttons do not work when I slide it up.

I have to agree with the previous reviews.
While trying this phone out in the shop I found the touch buttons easy to use & the menu was easy to navigate, just like a Nokia which I always usually go for, so I decided to have a change & brought this phone.
BIG MISTAKE!
The signal is total rubbish I have sent it back for repair but it still comes up with searching all the time & when people finally get hold of me after trying all day they tell me it was saying phone was unavailable.
I loose the signal as well if I have the phone in my pocket.
The texting it awful as well, I have to use two hands to type my usually speed & with no mistakes but the keys still miss some letters!
The style of the phone is nice looking but that is all & even that is not 100% as it scratches easy because it is so shiny & you get loads of smears on it to.

I sent it to LG UK, but a fortnight later they sent it back with a letter saying it can't be fixed, & that I should take it back to the shop for a refund. Great! The other phone is still working, but the battery life is dreadful - 2 days - with no warning when it's about to go flat. Don't believe the specs claiming 200 hours standby, that's utter nonsense.

Sometimes it won't ring when someone calls, it just goes straight onto answerphone even when there's plenty of signal etc & also texts don't always come through until you turn the phone off & back on again. Very annoying as you don't realise this isn't working until you try & text/call someone as it doesn't let you do either until the phone is turn off & back on.

Although my PC is brand new & meets all the requirements needed, I can't send or receive MMS (picture) messages. It's good that you can put any sim card in it & it's very stylish. I know a few other people with the same phone & theirs does the exact same thing. Never mind. Let's just hope Carphone Warehouse will fix it for me. If it had no faults, it would be an amazing phone.

Overall I quite like this phone. The touch screen buttons are very sensitive - this takes a while to get used to - but it is easy to use & there were no faults with these buttons as I had expected. Disappointingly, however, the keypad is in complete contrast - it is slow & sticky. Texters will find the need to constantly 'pound' the keypad something of a strain. The camera is somewhat 'average'. It is far behind the standards I have become accustomed to. However, the display is very clear & a dark background is available (this is my personal preference), also the phone is very neat & compact. There are no vulnerable protruding parts & I found it very reliable. Do be careful not to drop it though, as the back cover is likely to fall off.

It's now back in for repair again because it just won't switch on. I had one of the original LG 3G phones about 2 years ago & it had to be exchanged 4 times in 12 months.

LG is bad.
Of course it has one of the best designs. By 'design' I (& LG too) means how it looks.
This phone has basic capabilities. Megapixel camera, MP3 player.
Camera is slow, horrible quality, MP3 is playable, only 128MB of shared memory & no memory expansion option on top of that.
The menu looks OK, but navigating it with the touch sensitive keypad is a pain. It is too sensitive & I can't set the sensitivity on my TG800 . Texting is terrible, because the phone seems slow to catch on.
No speaker phone, although MP3 plays on the speaker. Can't answer with the slide closed, although I can dial recent/phonebook numbers with the slide closed.
I went from the LG KG320 to this Chocolate. & both phones packs the same features & capabilities. The phones menus & stuffs are identical.
This phone should be named 'Blonde' instead of Chocolate. Looks good, but packs nothing inside.

Hi,
I've always had a terrible habit of re-incarnating old mobile phones that members of my family have discarded after upgrading when their contracts run out. I am not a cheap skate, I just used a phone for the purpose of its invention. Too make a phone call & send SMS. Last year my family all clubbed together to buy me a phone for my birthday as they felt it was about time I had a brand new phone to bring me into the modern century. They bought me the LG KG800 chocolate & I must admit, when I opened it I was gob smacked by its design, I hadn't even heard of it or seen it advertised anywhere. I charged it up & started using it straight away but within 24 hrs I noticed that the phone had a terrible habit of operating on it's own by going through the menus or clicking back to the main screen while trying to send a text. I contacted the carphone warehouse & explained what it was doing & they happily exchanged the phone for another of the same model. In all honesty I haven't had any other problems with the phone at all until a couple of days ago when the phone went dead on me suddenly for no reason. I believed the battery was flat so put the phone on charge, I noticed the phone didn't charge straight away so I kept an eye on it, after a couple of minutes the display lit up indicating charging so I left it alone to charge. About 10 minutes later I went back to the phone to check its status & picked the phone up, my alarm was raised when the phone had heated up to an unbelievable temperature that was only just bearable to hold. After disconnecting the power cord & leaving to cool for 15 minutes I tried to turn the phone on but it was as dead as a dodo. Fortunately the phone is still under warranty so has been sent for repair but all my contact numbers were in the phone memory so now I have no numbers to contact my friends etc & I haven't been given any guarantee that they can be retrieved from the phones memory by the manufacturer.
Having read this review I am not sure how long this phone is going to last & I am considering taking out an extended warranty to protect my bank balance against future repair bills. For the sentimental value of the phone I will keep it & too be honest it does look great. I can't compare it to personal phones except the sharp GX series that I have had & it does kick them up the back. I have had no other problems apart from the PC software not running on my PC but win XP has the drivers built in to do the file management of pics, MP3's etc so I don't bother with it.
By the way, I read someone's review about the screen going blank & not showing a message symbol with the slider closed. The screen illumination time can be changed in the settings unless you have the phone in battery saving mode when it is a definitely read the instruction manual but please do as it has helped me out a couple of times & I've discovered things the phone can do that I didn't know about either.
I like it but there is certainly room for a lot of improvements. Remember people, it is a phone. If you want quality pictures buy a digital camera, if you want quality video buy a digital cam-corder, if you want music buy an MP3 player. The battery is only 800mah so to run a camera, camcorder, MP3 player, mobile phone & let's not forget the tft screen with fluorescent backlight for two days is pretty good going really. I have seen loads of extra's on eBay including a desktop charger for great bargain prices. Check em out.
Thank you for reading & I hope I've maybe answered a few of your queries.

Had this phone for Xmas. Had several ghastly phones in the past, but this one takes the cake! It looks good but that's it. The various features, namely the alarm & the phonebook wouldn't do whatever I asked them to, & the quality of the screen was abysmal. The final straw came when I had to make a call in an emergency & the infernal thing shut down & wouldn't let me connect again! AAAAAAAARGH! I hate this phone. I bought a Sony Ericsson K800 & shot the Chocolate with a nail gun. The video of me doing so will be posted on you tube very soon!

HEY LISTEN - don't BUY THIS PHONE !
I thought this was a really good looking phone & was 'top of the range' for Features, that's what the TV ads would have you thinking. Nothing much to add to the reviews which are correct, it's probably worse than they admit though, even the ones who hate it. I had more features on my old phone which was a 3 yr old Nokia. I feel terribly ripped off, this is the last phone I will ever buy from Tesco or LG.

I was so happy when I got this phone after accidentally putting my Samsung e900 in the washing machine. Now, 4 weeks later I am fed up with it & would gladly go back to my Samsung =[ the touch keypads are terrible & never do what I want them to. Texting is horrible & has no punctuation what so ever! The battery is useless & I have had three new batteries in it. The only good thing about it is the looks. I tried to take it back to the carphone warehouse today but they wouldn't take it because you have to return it within 28 days to get a different phone or 14 to get your money back =[ & I was only three days out! Well. Onto eBay it goes! I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone, the Samsung is so much better. I hope people don't waste their money! Xx

Well I upgraded from my pink RAZR to this phone, & I have to say I love it. It's not exactly perfect, bit miffed you can't change the text alert from the rubbish 4 installed, but other than that, no problems. I had a few teething problems with the touch pad, accidentally dialed a couple of people, but after an hour or so I worked it out fine! It looks good, it works brilliantly, I don't have a problem with the speaker or ringing volume at all, I am glad I bought it. The battery life isn't wonderful but you have to remember that it is a noisy little phone, if you turn off the slider & keypad noises it only needs charging a couple of times a week as opposed to every other night! Overall I would recommend it, though I think it is a little expensive for an LG phone.

Disappointing phone, a bit of a triumph of style over utility. It looks great but its shortcomings, already mentioned by other reviewers here, come as a shock. To that list I can add an infuriating habit of turning its display off just when you don't want it to. Also when trying to add credit (Pay As You Go) it seems there's a finite amount of digits you can type in before you can't put any more in. So if you're half way thru doing this too bad. If you haven't got one already, do yourself a favour & get something else.

It's got a good amount of memory & if you want a phone that looks good as well as having some great features then this is a great phone 4 you. The only downside 2 this gorgeous phone is that it scratches really easily. Make sure you use the suede pouch.

Don't be fooled by the features or the slick design.
If you have cold hands, you can't use the heat sensitive keys & if you like punctuation in your messages, this phone is completely useless.
I was fooled by the features & design. I love the MP3 player & the ringtones but it is so damn quiet you need a hearing aid.
The phone has real trouble holding a decent signal too, my old phone could send a message from anywhere, but this one struggles & often the messages fail.
This phone also has a terrible dictionary. It will not recognise many words in our beautiful language & I am not talking about swear words or slang!
Go for a Nokia or a Samsung. Chocolate is bad for you.

In a nutshell
1. Can't add message tones & you will not be able to hear the ones it comes with.
2. The screen goes black to match the phone when closed, so unless you flip it up you have no idea if you have a message or not, no little envelope on the screen with the thing closed.
3. Great design, easy to navigate through, but if you text a lot & don't always have the phone next to your skin to feel it vibrate, forget it.

What an awful phone, I was really excited by its look but the touch pad is either over sensitive or gets stuck & does not respond & the push keys are not sensitive enough.
It's already gone back for repairs which were not satisfactory. People can't hear you & when they can it sounds like you are pushing buttons all the time. The camera is poor quality & the photos have to be a specific size to use with the phone book

I wanted this phone for ages but when I finally got it, I was a bit disappointed. The touch pad malfunctions & freezes sometimes. The good points of this phone are that putting files on is easy. Just drag & drop. Very efficient & was much simpler than using & installing a separate software. The music is clear. What bugged me was that when I texted messages the phone squeaked. The battery life for me only lasted about a day which meant that I had to charge it every night.

Hi, after reading all these reviews I thought I should help some people out with making there decision.
I recently got my LG chocolate & I love it 2 bit it's really pretty & as for any problems I have had none. I used too have the Samsung e900 & that was also an amazing little phone. Until it broke. Because of my e900 hundred experiences I am use to the touchscreen buttons but the buttons on the chocolate are well better.
They are both amazing phones although I must say the chocolate is much beta looking.

It's very slow to load up when you turn it on. Its very quiet, both ringing & call volume & it needs charging every night. Also the signal quality is useless, I've never known a phone to cut out or not receive signal so much & is useless if you want to make a call when it raining as the slightest moisture on the touch screen stops & it won't work.

I have never had a new phone before & was excited to get my first chocolate for my birthday. That excitement was short lived when the speaker packed in after a couple of hours. This was replaced the following day & the replacement worked for 4 weeks & then decided to switch itself off & on, resetting itself every time. This could be in the middle of a call or text or just when it felt like it. On a number of occasions had to take the battery off & put back on to make it work at all. Sent off for repair & came back stating it had a software problem. Once back from repair it had been switched on for one hour & the same faults arose. Sent off for repair again & now phones4u state that there is no fault found which I simply can't believe. I wish I'd read these reviews before purchasing mine. STEER CLEAR!

Hello
Came by this website to check out comments about microphone. Upgraded to this phone with O2 in July 06. Two months later & dropped it on the floor instead of placing in trouser pocket, & the microphone died on me. Am using my brother's old Nokia, & regret ever swaying from Nokia myself.
O2 shops want nothing to do with it because I upgraded via the telephone. I phoned up O2 & they cannot offer me a discounted phone or anything. The best that the Leeds-based call centre could suggest is that I buy a whole new contract (new tariff, phone & number etc). I asked if O2 still do the phone to which the answer was 'no'. I said that's obvious why, but the woman said it's because they have no calls for the phone anymore! The model is barely a year old & the manufacturer is still bringing it out in new colours. It would be foolish of O2 not to supply it anymore!
So now I have an LG Chocolate sitting in my room with a broken mike after 2 months' use. Not even the local phone repair shop can find the part!
Don't ever buy this phone over a Nokia. Even if you are upgrading!

This phone looks really cool when seen, but that cannot be said of the functions. The soft touch panel of mine is already giving faults & not even up to a month old yet. The back button at the right hand side keeps functioning without being touched. I am really not feeling too good about the phone. I prefer the N91 to it. Perfect phone & great design too. The usability is off the HOOK. Anyone knows if I can get a repair for my phone at the LG shop? Pls post

This phone is stunning, but I have never had so many problems with a phone before. I got mine in July & from the beginning there were problems with battery life (2 days at most using the bulkier battery & those are days when it's barely being used.) & the voice quality in phone calls is dodgy & it cuts out endlessly. The biggest & worst problem is the problem with the display, I can't use the phone without the screen going white. So I've taken it in this morning after months of problems, to be issued with that normal warning about the warranty being void if they find evidence of misuse or abuse in the phone, so now I have a couple of days of worrying about whether they will mysteriously find something to void my warranty. I've always had phones for about a year & a half on average & have always given them or sold them to family members. My last phone was an amazing little Sony that I paid $230 for & it had loads more features than this phone, & was a good few years older. This phone is not worth the hassles, you can find equally attractive phones with better features & no problems.

I started my contract 2 months ago. I saw the phone & loved it! But since then I have had two new ones. The first 1 decided it wanted to switch itself off every time I went to use it. There was a fault with the blue tooth & also the speaker did not work. I was given another & again the speaker broke. They have given me a 3rd two weeks ago, & guess what. You got it! The speakers have broken again! I haven't had a chances to upload music onto yet, so id hate to think how rubbish it would be if music was on there to. Not only has the speaker broken but now my key pad buttons don't work either. I have never bought such a worse phone ever. I certainly won't be buying any other LG Products. Personally I am disgusted. Id advise every one never to buy this phone, unless you don't mind it being repaired every 2-3 weeks! It might look good, but its rubbish!

Although the phone is not perfect, I am very surprised to see so many negative reviews. Let's face it, the phone is gorgeous, & in my opinion, the touchpad is revolutionary. Compared to the Samsung E900, this phone is so much better; the Samsungs touchpad is far too sensitive, doesn't look as good, & the menus are easier to understand on the LG. It could only be improved if there was expandable memory, & the alarm worked once the phone was turned off. Otherwise, I've found this phone to be pretty much perfect. I recommend this phone to anyone!

Well I got this phone purely based on the look & it really does score top marks on that one! However it pretty much fails on everything else-sorry but it does! I've sent mine back 4 times with manufacturing faults-its just not reliable! It switches off whenever I am about to send a text & the speaker just keeps going on it too! I really want to say its mint cos it's gorgeous but I wouldn't really recommend it! It also doesn't have a loud speaker which I think is a must for all phones-as basic as the clock! Pretty disappointed but hey only 10 more months on the contract-great! Wonder how many more I'll have in that time.

I am surprised to read so many negative reviews here, as after 6 months use of my Chocolate, it hasn't caused me any grief at all, & whilst it is perhaps not the fashion statement or 'must have' item it once was, it still draws admiring comments.

Only had this phone a couple of days.
The speaker is fab & I can hear loud & clear but the microphone seems to be in the wrong place & people can't hear me very well.
I haven't had any problems with the touch sensitive keys - they just take a bit of getting used to but the key pad itself is really small & a bit fidgety for people who text a lot. On the subject of texting, I got this phone because I really struggle with texting but I'd gotten used to the system on my old LG U8330 (very similar to Nokia & so simple to use). The LG KG800 however is a bit different & if you need to start a word with a capital letter in T9 mode then be prepared to press quite a few buttons to get back to smaller case.
The battery life has been a wee bit of a let down too - I think it could be a 'charge it every day' deal.
I am afraid I haven't really used many of the other functions except the music player which is ace - it's just that the memory (not expandable) is a bit small. The camera is just average.
I am going to return mine because of the microphone problem & probably get a Nokia 6233 instead (not a handsome but if it works I am happy). I hope this review helps!

I got this phone in pink a little while ago & it is fierce! It is great! The MP3 plays really well & you can hear it clearly the only down side is you can't have it running in the background while doing other stuff on your phone. The design is lush & everyone I know loves it but make sure you keep it in the suede pouch it comes wid cos it can easily get scratched (apparently) myn hasn't yet though & I have had it for a month. You can also connect the phone to the computer with the USB cord that comes wid the phone & put on loads a pictures most of the pics I have put on have been around 40kb & there is a thousand of these to 1MB & der is 128 mbs on the LG which is around 30 songs which I think is enough (but not for sum LG h8rz) plus it is an excuse 2 buy & ipod. If you buy it on virgin mobile from the carphone warehouse you get £40 airtime & virgin is the cheapest at the carphone warehouse costing £159.95. Before I go I got an accessory tip if you want the phone to look even better you should go to the carphone ware house & spend £20 on a pink leather case & not only make your phone look nice but also keep it scratch free!

I've not had any problems with this phone. I bought it as I had an LG1100 previously & that was problem free throughout the 2 years. A lot of comments about reception & all I can say is that I'm on Orange & this one has a better reception than my old phone - always had trouble calling from the office for some reason but much less so now. Great design. Touch pad takes a while to get used to. I guess you need to have some co-ordination & or patience... Only real downside is keypad, a touch small but this isn't so much of a problem for me as I don't text all that much anyway. Oh yeah, connecting to your PC can be a pain for sync etc or downloading stuff to the phone (pictures etc) it's quite temperamental (1100 was a doodle) but for getting stuff off the phone, using as a mass storage device it's great!

The Australian release is just as bad. First the T9 can only remember words saved in that msg. Try writing another & Poof! Everything's gone. Second if a delete 3 or more msg's individually then the phone calls a strike & freezes. Similarly if I'm playing with the settings or even just playing around with it during a boring lecture at uni it again says 'too much work here' & freezes. In the last few weeks the speaker has joined the same union because now there are days were it too calls in sick & people can here me but I cant here them. I have to say that after a lot of research on this many people have had the same problems, especially the T9 one. This phone is going back to the store at 9am tomorrow. Grrrrrrrrrrrr LG Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I got this phone as soon as it came out & within two weeks I had to have a replacement as the volume on the speaker was not working. Then, with the new replacement phone, I started having problems with the signal (dropping phone calls & switching itself off) & again, the volume. It was sent back to LG for repair which took three weeks. When I got the phone back, it had the same problems & new one of freezing after sending texts or disconnecting from the Bluetooth in my car. It was again taken back to the Carphonewarehouse & this time I refused a repair as obviously, sending it to LG made it worse. I was given a refurbished one which has better volume but it still has a habit of having bad reception in good reception areas. I am sick of it to the point that after just four months I am now having to buy myself a new one as T Mobile, LG & Carphonewarehouse (& my insurance company) are all refusing to replace it with a new one - even though I have never had a new one that has worked 100%.
Saying all this, my mum has it & she's never had a problem - but she's with Orange - so maybe it's a combination of network provider & LG...

I added a comment on 2 September about the problems I've been having with the phone. The phone was repaired by T-Mobile & was working for about a week, the speaker has broken again & the signal is still being dropped while my mate's phones have full signal. I've spoken to T-Mobile & they refused to do anything but try & repair it...again. They said "you've just been unlucky with your handset" but having read more reviews on the internet it would appear that LG just can't make a good phone.
Like I said, although this phone does look incredibly nice DON'T buy it as it flawed in so many ways, is unreliable & the networks (well T-Mobile) seem very reluctant to do anything about it which is a joke considering paying about £40 for it!

When I first saw this phone, I decided to buy it. I really like the phone. I have not experienced any of the problems mentioned by previous posters, but there is one major issue using this phone with a US based carrier (Cingular & TMobile). When a voicemail is received, the VM indicator is displayed, but a SMS from the first person in my phone book is also displayed. It happens with every VM. This has become so annoying, that I have gone back to my RAZR. Maybe someday someone will find a way to edit the software to fix the SMS problem. Until then, the KG800 will sit on a shelf in my pantry.

I have recently starting using this phone & it developed a fault from the start. The phone seems to have a mind of its own & jumps between screens rapidly. It makes anything impossible to do. It's almost as if there is something else controlling it. Because of the physical design of the handset, it also takes me a long time to send a text message & gives you thumb ache - so I've resorted to texting using two hands like my dad does. Form follows function. And this phone doesn't function well.

IT DOES NOT COMPARE WITH MY SAMSUNG E700 & SOFTWARE RECEIVED WITH THE USB DATA SUITE [CIRCA 2004]. IT LOOKS TO ME AS IF LG HAD THIS WRITEEN HURRIEDLY & AS SCANTILY AT POSSIBLE JUST TO GET IT OUT WITH THEIR NEW PHONE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF LG HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE & COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT COMPARES WITH MODERN SUITES AVAILABLE?? I GET NOWHERE ON THEIR SITE. ALSO HAVING SPEAKER PROBLEMS. TKS FOR YOUR ENLIGHTENING SITE

This is the best looking phone ever, no doubt about that ! However, being used to at Sony Ericsson, I find it a litle hard to handle. I dont need a lot of memory or a super-camera, but I do miss the voicedial, that almost every other phone provides.

AWFUL PHONE! Design, features, usability have all failed, LG have not thought hard enough about this phone. It is terrible.

I have had this phone for over a week now & really, really want to like it. BUT it simply is so frustrating to use, I have never sent a phone back before for a replacement but I will now. Please take my advice & AVOID this phone!
Mobile phones have advanced beyond recognition in recent years - whilst looking nice, this phone is a step backwards as far as I am concerned.

Well I've had my phone for 30 days & now am on my 4th replaced phone, I have just found out that the phone is faulty & that at times the earpiece stops working making to have to turn phone off to get it reset!! Don't buy this, phone looks good, but doesn't work.

This is an awful phone, not only does it not look that nice, but it is a technical disaster, cant even change the volume! LG, I am disappointed.

This phone is sleek, stylish & stunning. Everyone who sees it in my hand is super jealous.
But then I have to tell them that it's not as good as it looks. My comments are similar to those of others on this site: the message tones cannot be changed to anything other than the 4 they provide & the volume stays low; there are no wallpapers; if you miss a call, the voicemail doesn't show on the screen unless you physically go into voicemail to check; the text messaging is about 8 years behind Nokia...
If you want a phone that will make your friends green with envy, go out & get a Chocolate now. If you want a phone that you can text on, download stuff & generally enjoy using, steer clear.

Have to echo the thoughts of many reviewers before me. Buyers beware - don't get fooled by the good looks!
Having been given a list of replacement phones by my network's insurance company after having my trusty nokia 7610 stolen, The LG (as one of them) naturally immediately grabbed my attention.
Fortunately, I had the chance to play around with this phone before getting it & I found all the annoying quirks & oversights many reviewers have identified with this phone. I was shown the nokia 6131 as an alternative. It wasn't as impressive to look at & was cheaper by a long way, which suggested less features, Couldn't have been more wrong! - The 6131 has all the same & more - & caters for all the problems of the K800. So it was a no brainer.
Let's face it nokia is a frontier company & are a tried & true devoted mobile manufacturer. LG is not. Look elsewhere for a phone in the mid-range category for price & features.
Sweet to look at, but this is one overpriced "chocolate" that left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Reviewer: Mark - UK

Having owned an ipod the touchpad is not a problem to getting used to & pretty funky as it cant get dirt down the button gaps, fantastic design HOWEVER
Speaker is useless & a complete pain, already had two replacements & cannot hear people when they call but they can hear me. You cannot change the message tones which are very quiet & the battery is PANTS. Lasts two days max average usage. It looks real nice but ive used my girlfriends Samsung e900 which to be honest is leagues ahead. Go for the e900 & if the tariff doesn't have that then I would honestly stay away if you call people a lot!

Who ever designed this phone has definitely got style & taste. It is a great looking phone & being a musician the mp3 player is great. On the other hand the set up of the features is really poor. The fact that I can't change the home keys to something other than the internet button (which has been costing me a fortune) due to the touch keys extreme sensitivity is really frustrating. I can never hear my txts as it has no feature to change the volume & I really miss a speaker phone as I have just changed from a v3 Motorola. Also id like to be able to change my message tone to a track from my mp3 player & I cannot do this either... Overall the phone is cute but if you had a free site to download theme settings & access to changing message tones & volumes to update it a little more for the users of chocolate I think u'd have a lot less being taken back to the shop!!

Having used this phone for a week now, I decided that although it has amazing looks, it has nothing more to offer & has to go back!
I'm amazed by the usability ratings given by people on this site. I can only put it down to people wanting to buy the phone, rather than people who have actually used it (& from the comments I read that's partly true). The main problems I found are:
- Only offers 128Mb worth of memory, with no option to upgrade using a memory card!
- No FM radio offered!
- Texting is not clever enough
- Annoyingly operation quirks - which I guess one can get used to
- Synchronization with a computer is almost minimal with extremely buggy software.
- Very restricted contact record options (e.g. no more than 1 home number can be put in - unless you decide to name the second Fax or Work!).
- Backup of contacts does not work with current version.
- No speakerphone for calls
- Received messages tone is not loud enough & cannot be changed
I do agree the phone is stunning. Whoever is used to using their phone for something more than mere phone calls(!) should look elsewhere!

It sounded a nice little package, firstly I LOVE IT for its looks & its overall unique & individual design, was going to get an e900 but the 'chocolate' just sounded a little fresher & all the Samsungs are the same. Iv got a sony ericsson w810i & this phone is unrivalled & quite simply the best phone you can get in my opinion but the lg is fantastic. best looking, the texting is a little sluggish iv found & the keypad software is nowhere near as fast as id like it to be, there are no wallpapers that I can find so dunno if im just not looking hard enuf but apart from that, great!! gna have to see how long the battery lasts with the mp3 player etc oh & issit me or is the bluetooth unbelievably slow!!!
Love it though, its gna be huge & a classic phone to have. Glad to say I own it!!

I am so excited about getting this mobile. I just ordered a sim-free one off ebay, & I'm looking forward to using it. I have never had an LG before to I do hope its user friendly! I'm loving the design & the feature sound amazing!!! Well done LG cos you really have persuaded me to get this phone + thanx to this website, you've been a great help! Bye for now!

I am not sure what the craze is about for this phone as it lacks many features that you would find in other phones. It's very similar to Moto's SLVR L7 & yet it does not have a memory expansion. Furthermore, it's only a triband phone with only 1.3MP camera. The Bluetooth pairing with Bluetooth headset has huge problems & the text messaging is a bit laggy. The battery standby time is only so-so.
I definitely think this phone is overpriced & it gets a thumb down from me for sure.

My friend recently just bought the lg kg800 chocolate phone. This phone is absolutely amazing it looks brill it's easy to use & its memory is fantastic. It makes me really jealous of him because I have the Samsung e350 & the lg is just completely different class. All I can say is Del u r one lucky guy. To sum up this phone it is absolutely SUPERB!!!!!

The most sexiest phone I have ever had. It's gorgeous, stylish & very easy to use. The keys are quite sensitive but once you get used to it it's great! All I need to do now is figure out how to download music onto the mp3 player on the phone - any tips! LOL

I got my phone for the first time purely on look. I'd had LG phones before so I know the menu system pretty well & I tend to trust them. Never had a problem, I just felt like having an upgrade seeing as my last lg phone lasted me 5 years. yay!
First of all the touch pad does take a little getting used too. I find sometimes it's too sensitive while others it takes a few pokes to get it to agree. Over all you master it with time & I hardly have to press hard on it anymore :) Visually I love it. You get a few stylish wallpapers to start off with & later on I am sure more will be available to download but I can set my pictures up & they look great. However only ones you have taken by yourself. If you put a picture in it doesn't seem to want to be a full wallpaper. I may try making the resolution exact but it really didn't want to be my wallpaper on before trying. The USB system is fantastic. Saves me a lot of money in the long run because I can just shove my pictures, mp3's & such onto the phone rather than having to buy them. Hurrah!
I really like this phone, I've had it just over a week & it's bearing well :) Nice stuff

LG Chocolate is a great looking phone with all the spec I am looking for. I thought that LG phones were pretty dull until my friend told me that this was one of their newer designs. I am smitten by it & will be ordering one ASAP. The screens should be excellent & touch heat sensitive keys & navigation will be fun. I must have a camera on my phone & the LG Chocolate has a 1.3 mega pixel which suits me as I cant see much difference in the 1.3 mega pixel & 2 mega pixel camera. I will buy a Bluetooth headset for using in my car & the music player will be a new thing for me to have fun with, really excited about this phone & there are some great deals on it at the moment. Still cant believe it is made by LG.

My girlfriend has been going on about this new chocolate phone & I guess it is the LG KG800. She is desperate for me to get it for her as she loves it on looks & look alone which I find very strange. She is not even sure if it has a video feature, music player, Bluetooth & 3G. I will report back to her tonight the full specification, not 3G phone & see if she is still interested, but I already know the answer, yes get it for me. I am very impressed with the phones features & I am a more demanding mobile phone user than my girlfriend. Thanks for all the information on the site & I will get Kay to have a look tonight.
