LG KG800 Chocolate - The Sexiest Phone On The Market

When the LG KG800 Chocolate hit the retail stands, it was the most anticipated phone in the world.

It is iPod-like in appearance and boasts a range of features that would make its competitors green with envy. Months after its release, it is still as popular as ever and has a distinct sex appeal about it, which is odd considering it is a mobile phone.

On appearance alone, the KG800 is simply awesome. Available in black and white, it is sleek and sophisticated, which is largely as a result of the simplicity of the colour scheme. It doesn't appear to be too fancy, instead drawing focus towards the internal capabilities of the phone. The perfect rectangular shape of this slider has universal appeal and is easy enough to use, even if the initial slide action is a tad more difficult to figure out than other slider phones.

Delving deeper under the surface

The Chocolate has some very nice features although none of them are necessarily innovative or unique. This just adds to its appeal though, because you know exactly what to expect. Images taken from the 1.3MP camera are bright and clear, with the KG800 displaying 256,000 colours. The 2" screen serves to enhance this function too.

Speaking of the camera, it offers a good range of choices for photos. You can have normal, fine and superfine images taken in one of five resolutions. The 128MB memory may limit how many superfine pictures you have though. It may also limit the amount of songs you choose to store because there is no memory card slot either. This is a shame because the quality of sound the MP3 player provides is excellent

The KG800's connectivity gives it a distinct advantage. It has a USB hub and bluetooth capabilities but without the faults that other phones tend to have. The reception also seems to be good, regardless of where you are.

The keypad of the KG800 is one of the very few negative points it has. It is touch sensitive rather than having the traditional buttons, and boy are they sensitive. Misdialling is quite common until you get used to it and text messages also prove to be a popular complaint. Unfortunately, lifting the phone to your face has the same effect. It is possible to navigate through the entire menu without touching the pad with your fingers! This not only proves to be annoying, but a complete pain when you are pushed for time.

LG - Looks Good!

The LG KG800 Chocolate is by far the sexiest phone on the market and, as long as you have sufficient patience to cope with the keypad, is a great phone to have. I can see why it is so popular but it wouldn't be my first choice of phone because of the keypad. Give me normal buttons any day!
