LG KG810 Phone Review

The LG KG810 is a music orientated mobile phone which comes with a flip opening design. The casing is coated in a precious black coloured high gloss finish which gives the handset a smooth & polished look & finish. The handset is slim & slender which only measures 92 x 47 x 14.6 mm with the depth being only 14.6 mm it feels good to hold in one hand. The KG810 is a sleek & smooth handset which has dual screen for the user to enjoy when the phone is in its opened or closed position. The user can open their phone to reveal a large 262k colour screen & a well set out easy to use keypad. The user can close the handset & view an neat 65k colour screen & touch sensitive keys which glow when activated by touch but disappear when not in use & leaves a smooth clear exterior. The exterior touch sensitive keys allows the user to control their music whilst the handset in its closed position. The LG KG810 weighs 86 grams in total which is lightweight for the user to carry with them where ever they go. The KG810 comes with similar touch sensitive controls as the LG KG800 Chocolate which is from the same family as the LG KG810.

The LG KG810 comes with tri band technology which will allow the user to use their phone in the majority of Europe & in the USA which is dependent on the network operator.

The phone comes with a start up kit which includes a travel adapter, carrying strap, carrying pouch, stereo headphones & in line remote handset kit & USB cable.

This phone is rubbish. The software for it doesn't even work, I can't download music from the computer as the rubbish phone doesn't connect, it just times out. Memory is minimal. Stick to Nokia. LG can't produce good phones.

I love this phone. I hope they release it in 3G with longer battery life & the added 3G features as it would be a truly great phone to own.
I am a happy user of this product.

Very good featured phone, very classy looking better than the Motorola V3.

Strange software though, to get MP3 tracks on you have to go to Settings > Connectivity > Removable Disk > Data transfer & as it starts up plug the cable into the PC then the phone & it detects it as a removable drive.

Only transfer tracks not folders of tracks or albums as it does not recognise the folders. Quality sound & good interchangeable headphones.

I will be looking out for LG new phones as I intend to get another one.

Reviewer: Joe - Brighton, UK

Pretty but flawed. It feels awkward to hold against your ear to speak to people so it's not good for someone who uses their phone a lot. For texting it's awkward to use for someone that wants to properly punctuate their messages & use capital letters for the start of words. Also the dictionary is pretty naff & it doesn't choose the most common words first, for instance it picks he instead of if which is annoying.

No speakerphone so if you're calling a call centre you have to turn the volume up loud & keep your ear close to hear when you've got through to an operator.

Connecting it to your PC is a lottery as to whether it'll connect properly or not & I haven't managed to get a file off the phone yet & only a few files onto it & the memory is limited with no expansion ability so to try & call it an MP3 player is a bit of a joke.

Also when I send long texts it sometimes only sends the first part & cuts off the rest. Also it only ever stores the first 160 characters of a message regardless of how long it was. the battery life is also terrible & only lasts a couple of days & I don't even use it much & I turn the Bluetooth off. The camera doesn't have a light or a flash & it's slow so you have to hold it super steady to get an unblurred picture out of it.

Also it gets smudged & greasy fingerprints on it all the time because of the shiny plastic it's made of & that also means that it scratches & scuffs very easily & I am very careful to not put my phone in the same pocket as any change or keys but it still gradually gets scuffed.

Generally all it has going for it is the screen is clear & large & it's slim & light, other than that I preferred my old Samsung D500 to this. LG have made a powerful enemy, well not really but I'll be avoiding their phones in the future if this is the standard of quality you get.

If you change the selection on the option menu (found near the top of the mobile agent) then the PC can locate your phone - this took me ages to find out. But, even then I can't put any music on because it can't find any of my music files! Good phone - bad computer programme!
