LG KG800 ‘Chocolate’ Unboxing

KG800 Unboxing 05The new LG KG800 ‘Chocolate’ phone showed up today, and while I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, I thought I would take some pictures of the incredible unboxing experience LG has provided. The black box with the pattern is made of very hard cardboard, and fastens shut with magnets. It is all very Apple like, and really makes you feel like you have something special on your hands.

The LG KG800 ships with a charger, USB cable, stereo headset with in-line music remote, a lanyard, software CD, and two batteries (standard and extended capacity) in the box.

All the photos after the jump. If anyone has any questions about the device, don’t be afraid to ask.

    I bought the LG Chocolate online at cellular-blowout dot com. It is supposed to be unlocked. I noticed on the box that it has Eng. printed on it… I have service with Cingular now AT&T. AT&T says the phone should work. So far it does not even work half way! Most of the time I get an emergency only notice when I try to dial out. Some text messages and calls come through and/or can be placed. I would say maybe 1 out of ever 15 to 20 attempts… Every outgoing call placed generates the “Emergency” message…

    I have called cellular-blowout.com several times. I have sent them several emails and can not get a response one from them. I paid a small fortune for this phone and it appears I am stuck with it. Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I can not afford to go purchase another cell phone. Thanks.

    Dawn – Do you have the KG800 model Chocolate? If so, it is likely that you are in an area where AT&T uses the 850MHz frequency band (the radio frequency the phone uses to connect to the network), which the KG800 doesn’t support. If you call AT&T and tell them where you are, they should be able to tell you what frequency is used in your area. The KG800 supports 900/1800/1900MHz frequencies.

    Brad, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have the KG800 model Chocolate (white) phone. I took the phone to my local AT&T store where they checked it out. They even game me a new SIM card. According to the service man at the store the phone should be working. The only thing I can figure out is it was manufactured for use in England. On the web site that I purchased the phone it indicated the phone was unlocked and after checking with AT&T the bandwidths are correct. So I am really at a loss at this point since I can not get any support from cellular-blowout where I purchased the phone. From readying the above comments I noticed others were having similar problems. I am not tech savy and have been searching the web relentlessly to see if I could find a place that could make any adjustments to get the phone to work! I love the feel and style of the phone and is the reason I bought it. I would hate to think I have thrown $243.00 down the drain! Oh – the phone came with the power adapter to change the charger for use in the USA . Thanks again. Dawn

    If you are SURE that the frequency band in your area is compatible with the KG800, and that you actually do have signal where you are, then it is a waranty issue with the phone. If you had received a locked phone, it would display ‘Invalid SIM’ on startup, not the behavior you are saying. Your options are to continue trying to get on to your retailer, or to contact LG Europe directly for a waranty call.

    @emily: you can transfer music from your PC with the Music Backup program provided by bell. Un fortunately, uploading music is the only thing you can do with this phone because Bell “played” a little with it. :(

    HELP PLEZZZ!!! I recently bought the Choclate KG800 and it has just developed a fault. Everytime I try to make a call, I get the message “failure to authorize”, and I do not get connected. I have put the sim card in another phone and it works fine, so the fault must be with the phone itself … any ideas ? I would really appreciate any help on this subject.

    Great! I should have done more research before purchasing this phone through ebay. I also have ATT and I hope most the areas are not using 850MHz frequency. Arggh! Well… my brother-in-law have T-mobile.. maybe I can just sell it to him. I really like the phone!!!
