About this deal

It was released in China in April 2006 (GSM model KG90, CDMA model KG90c), [16] [17] and internationally as GSM model KG800 in May 2006, which had its marketing strategy planned and executed [18] by John Bernard, a marketer based in the UK. [19] A slightly modified version of the KG800, released as the LG TG800, was sold by Rogers Wireless and Fido in Canada, released on the market in November 2006. [21] Additionally, Bell Mobility has a modified version of this phone that works on their CDMA/ 3G EVDO network despite the offering of the LG Chocolate (VX8500) in Canada available there through Telus Mobility. Otherwise, as regards the technical side of the device, there aren't any posh features that would stun the regular tech buffs. The phone is mainly targeted at a market niche of expensive designer phones which have the main purpose of distinguishing their owners from the general crowd. And as such it should be viewed in its own right taking into account its marketing specifics. So if you are one of the people out there hoping that LG KG800 might turn out as the next Walkman competitor or the next beat-'em-all camera phone, we only have 2 words for you: Keep waiting!

The side mounted end call key sits next to another key – this opens a screen menu that allows you to use the built in music player or camera. The idea of a dual purpose key is, I suppose, to save on the number of keys around the edges of the casing. That said, I think I’d still rather have two keys as the arrangement that LG has chosen means that it takes multiple presses to get to either feature. The front part of the phone shell has a mirror-like finish that really makes it look classy. When closed, the slider has a rather monolith construction so there were a few people that tried opening it as a flip phone instead of a slider. That's really something since mobile phones nowadays are invading every part of our lives so to be able to produce something innovative really counts.

At the Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2006, the Chocolate won the award for Best Fashion Phone, and was runner up in Phone of the Year beaten by Sony Ericsson K800i. [27] It boasts a generally pretty standard set of features: a 2″, 256k colour display, 1.3 megapixel camera and 128MB memory. The pleasant surprises come in the form of its smaller than expected dimensions (9.5 x 4.8 x 1.5cm) and particularly light weight (approximately 85g). You may also have read about the “hidden LCD” screen which had us confused for a while. It turns out that the red buttons on the front aren’t buttons at all but in fact a touch-keypad section which lights up when you slide it open.

LG Chocolate KG800 - Q&A

LG‘s much talked about Chocolate phone made its UK debut on Wednesday to the popping of champagne corks and a flurry of excited LG execs. Tech Digest was invited along to the launch and what do you know? – we only managed to squirrel away our own handset to play with! The most we can tell about how pink chocolate gets it pink hue is from a patent that the chocolatier filed in 2009. According to the document's details, one can make cocoa-derived materials purple or red by simply minimizing the fermentation (3 or fewer days). The product is then treated with acid, and the fatty acids are removed by petroleum ether. If this process is closely followed, it's possible to create new hues which are otherwise lost in the extensive production process. Many companies file fancy patents, but not all of them are approved, are they? Talk: 3.50 hours (210 minutes) Standby: 384 hours (16 days) batteries were known to have a defect as they were released in December 2006. They did not hold a full charge. The battery cover is hard to disengage in fact. It opens with a slide after you press the release button. But you should press the button strong enough until it sinks in. The matter is furthermore complicated by the fact that when you try to slide the battery cover out you really slide out the phone itself first. The SIM card is easy to get in and out of its bed.

The phone we had was a test sample so we should warn you that there might be some differences to the final version, though this software version behaved perfectly alright and we didn't stumble upon any obvious bugs. LG Chocolate mobile phone has quite a lot to offer apart from its stunning looks. The LG Chocolate Pink has a rectangular shape that's vaguely reminiscent of a chocolate bar. The slider mechanism slips up and down easily but firmly; we needed only one finger to make it work. The numeric keypad is exceptionally good though with decent sized and well spaced keys that are very easy to distinguish even without looking at them.

According to the chocolatier, the chocolate got its pink color from an extract from the pink ruby cocoa , that's a unique and rare type of cocoa bean only found in Brazil, Ecuador, and the Ivory Coast. They say this cocoa bean was left undiscovered and unutilized. In over half a year, 600,000 Chocolates were sold in South Korea. [12] A total of 1.4 million units were sold in its first three months in the European, Asian, and Latin American markets. [22] In April 2007, LG reported that Chocolate sales had topped 10 million. [23] In December 2007, it reported 15 million sales. [24] It eventually reached sales of over 20 million units. [25] Legacy [ edit ]
