If you value fashion over squeezing as many gizmos into a phone at once, then this is definitely the phone of the moment. On the whole it will give you a solid mobile experience that just oozes style.

The White Chocolate offering is not large in size but does make control easy. While there is a manual the getting started sheet should enable most to get up and running.

LG’s KG800 Chocolate phone is first and foremost a consumer fashion product. It looks great, offers a decent range of features for casual users, and is small and light enough to take anywhere.

Overall, if you can look past the LG KG800 Chocolate’s shortcomings, you are left with a great looking fashion phone that has an above average (in its class) feature set. It is with these caveats that I give the KG800 a Recommended rating.

The LG KG800 Chocolate is indeed pretty, but its feature set and performance don’t back up its trendy design.

We prefer Sony Ericsson’s Walkman models, which make enjoying your songs much easier. But if you want Verizon Wireless service and you can live with touch-sensitive buttons, the Chocolate might be sweet enough for you.

Overall 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.
