Customer Reviews

Quality Wrapping, Not without it's faults!
First impressions of this new mobile phone were very good, the box is stylish, contemporary and well thought out, it even smells of chocolate! I had read reviews that stated that the battery life was poor so I charged it for a full 12 hours. I read somewhere that these types of batteries have a memory that remembers the charges, so the first charge was very important. When I switched the phone on I was very impressed with the quality of the screen which has 262k colours, most other screens are only 65k colours. The functions are easy to use and well supported and are actioned quickly. The settings on this phone are quite vesatile, you can change the screen wallpaper, ringtones very simply and effectively, even animated screensavers! The sounds from the speaker are clear and sound natural, not dull or muffled, I have not used the headset to listen to music yet. Overall the phone is a nice stylish peice of kit and I have only a couple of issues that dissapointed me which are :- When texting there is no option to start the text with a capital letter, the options are T9Abc, T9abc, T9ABC, 123, abc, ABC. I dont like using T9 it infuriates me, so with my previous phone I normally used Abc which starts a sentence with a capital letter and not lower case or T9. But with the 'Chocolate' I have to start the text with ABC and then change the type to abc which gets annoying after a few texts. The other issue is that there is only one game preinstalled on the phone which is Sudoku. When I tried to drag and drop Java games from my p.c. to the phone via the supplied usb cable there is no folder entitled 'Games' to put them into, so I put them into a folder called 'Other', these show up on the phone but they cannot be installed or played from that location. This is not the case when transfering music or ringtones to the 'Music' folder as they are installed and play as normal. This means that I have to either pay and download games via the internet or buy a bluetooth dongle for my p.c. and send the games from my p.c. to my phone via bluetooth. I queried this issue with L.G customer services and they could not give me a reason why there was no folder for games. So Yes I would recommend this phone but it is not the finished article from my point of view. It is however a beautiful looking phone and one which has impressed my friends. The phone is very trendy and cool but there are other phones on the market that will surpass the features of the LG KG800 Chocolate when it loses its trendy and cool status. I would give this phone a probable shelf life of about 6 months before it is found out to be just a good looker!

Fab Phone
I've had this phone for a week now and its absolutely great!! It took a while to get used to the touch screen but once you do it's really easy to use. It's also got great sound quality on the MP3 player and holds more songs than one of the previous reviewers said. Camera's zoom isn't great and overall quality of the pictures is a little shoddy but it's a phone and not a camera after all!!

i'd agree with the previous reviewer who said that it's impossible to keep fingerprint free and if you like things to stay shiny and new long after you bought you might find that a bit irritating!!

overall though i'm really pleased with the phone and so far i've got no complaints!!

I LOVE this phone!!!
Just received this phone as a free upgrade from O2...and I LOVE it!!! I'd read a lot of mixed reviews about the phone before deciding on this particular one, but I'm so glad I chose the LG. First of all, and most strikingly when you first see it, this phone looks stunning...think iPod but classier. It has this sort of lustrous, highly buffed finish that looks sooooo cool. I know, i know, it's shallow to rate a phone so highly on looks alone but, seriously, you've gotta see this thing to appreciate it. The touch-sensitive pad works brilliantly and is a stroke of design genius as it allows the phone to retain it's ultra-smooth finish. I've been playing with it for a couple of days now and everything seems to work very well indeed. I like the layout of the menus, there's no annoying lag between choosing a menu option and it actually appearing on the screen (as my V3 RAZR did - a HUGELY overrated phone), the camera and video camera both work well (and the lens is protected within the phone until it is opened via the sliding front), the playback on MP3s is very reasonable for a phone and, finally and most importantly, the Chocolate actually works as a phone extremely well too! The sound quality in-call is much better than my RAZR, as is the battery life, and just the whole build-quality in general. I know I must sound like a real fan-boy, but I genuinely am so impressed with this phone, it is a real masterclass in great design. I can't see the novelty wearing off any time soon.
