History of cell phones: 2006 – LG Chocolate KG800
This is one of the first well-designed phones made for mass market use. It’s certainly a case of style over substance with the LG Chocolate phone, although there are some average mid-range features onboard. Multimedia highlights are a 1.3-megapixel camera, video recorder, MP3 player and a reasonably bright 2-inch 256K-color TFT display. MP3 files can be set as ring tones and LG pre-installs a range of polyphonic tones. Travelers will benefit from the Chocolates tri-bad connectivity, but real globetrotters will benefit more from the Motorola RAZR V3i’s quad-band. The KG800 is limited by its 128MB of internal memory, with no expansion slot for external memory cards. Still, with Bluetooth onboard and LG bundling a USB cable in the box, it’s easy to download your photos and video clips before running out of memory.
