LG Chocolate KG800

This is not something to eat, in the early summer LG launched their black phone, now in late summer their white phone and I understand later in the year a shocking pink one is to follow.

Classy, yes. But is it a case of chic before practicality?

A new LG phone has hit the streets. The possible suspect is described as black, slim, sexy and most of all fashionable. Well then, we might just have some...

The Chocolate achieves its aim of being a fashion phone – it grabs the attention with the stylish combination of black and red, with a modern slider design, well-made and featuring a comfortable keypad. It's a pity that functionality suffers because of all the style – the display is almost impossible to use in bright light, the upper keypad is very inconvenient and mistakes are easily made, the music player is not what it should be and even the phone book is not good enough as it lacks basic capabilities like personal ringtone

The KG800 is a stunning entry into the market and combines a distinctive touchpad with sleek styling. A must have for its wow factor alone.

The LG Chocolate phone is a real head-turner -- some have gone so far as to call it the best-looking phone ever. From the glowing red touchpad to the glossy casing, this phone is the epitome of class and style. The feature list is somewhat underwhelming, but in design terms it sets the standard for the future of mobile phones
