LG Chocolate KG800 Specifications  Editors' choice

By Jeremy Roche on 16/06/2006

More LG reviews , RRP: AU$799.00

The good:

  • Innovative touch-sensitive navigation keys under screen
  • Minimalist black design
  • Plenty of customisation options
  • Intuitive user interface

The bad:

  • Easy to accidentally press the wrong key
  • High-gloss case is fingerprint-prone
  • Too "plasticky" for some

The bottomline:

While Motorola's RAZR still manages to trigger ultra-thin fashion clones, LG has moved in a different direction with the Chocolate KG800, an understated and stylish mobile phone with a beguiling design twist.
