Speaking of cell phones, the Fedex guy just arrived at my door about an hour ago to drop off a package. I purchased a few things from eBay this past week, so I thought it was one of those items… but it wasn’t. The shipping label was addressed to Michael Kwan of MobileMag.com, so it had to be some sort of review unit. I tore the envelope open and discovered an LG Cherry Chocolate Phone. This slick slider with touch sensitive controls is pretty darn sexy, but it’s a fingerprint magnet.
I’ll be fumbling around with the user interface, call quality, and all that sort of stuff (I think this phone is EVDO-equipped) for the next couple of weeks. Should be fun. I’m also expecting an HTC P4000 from Telus Mobility on Monday, so I guess I won’t be using any of my own minutes any time soon. Good times.
Here’s a hands-on video of the LG Cherry Chocolate (KG800) to get your started, showing you what’s in the box and a brief overview of the controls. A full review will be written up for Mobile Magazine when I’m done.
Looks like a pretty sweet phone, Red’s not really my colour, though.
Nice little preview of the phone. Your review reminds me of a 3DGameman video review…no offense, hehe. 😉
seems to be a cool phone..
Are the LG 800 phones still considered to be “Chocolate” phones? Since, what do they call the Black LG 800, Dark Chocolate? 😛
A few of my friends bought the Chocolate Phone and hated it. They said the controls were buggy and they always ended up accidentally calling people in the middle of the night because they wanted to text or check the time.
Amount of memory? Does it support SD cards?What is the J2ME profile? Bluetooth?
I’ll be putting up a full review on Mobile Magazine soon, but to answer your questions:
1. About 140MB of on-board usable memory, give or take
2. No expansion slot
3. Site makes no mention of J2ME, so I’m not sure
4. Bluetooth, yes, including A2DP
