LG KG800 European Chocolate Review

Phonebook:

The phone book has a capacity of 1000 contacts, while each of them can store a couple of numbers and an e-mail address. The additional fields are Caller Group and Picture ID and the latter is used with only images of 72x72 pixels and .bmp extension. The camera is capable of taking such pictures but you first have to set the resolution. Personal ringtones to different contacts cannot be set as you can do this only for whole groups.
The phone book displays the contacts as a list while the number of only the currently selected entry is shown. There is an icon to the left of the name, indicating which group the contact belongs to.

Organizer:

PIM functionality is divided into two menus – Tools and Organizer – we think these two should be combined in one, but LG have decided to separate them. The Tools menu includes Alarms, Calculator, World Clock and Converter. There is a capability of setting up to five alarms to be activated at different time and each of them can be assigned a name; more than one alarm can be used simultaneously. The World Clock shows a map of the world and you can move form one place to another by using the direction keys. The Converter has a lot of capabilities and we found the tables for Clothes and Shoes conversion especially interesting and convenient. The Organizer includes Calendar and Memos, while the latter are just notes which cannot be assigned alarms to. The Calendar is a standard one and it's very easy to add a To-Do item by only clicking a few times. This menu also contains Contacts which are not made as a separate option as with most other phones. You can only access it by pressing the down direction when in the home screen.

You can record voice from the Multimedia menu, but there is restriction of 20 seconds. There's no logical explanation for this, and we think it very impractical and see no point in using it.  

The internal memory of the phone is 128MB; however, it's a pity there is not slot for expanding it with cards and this is going to turn into a problem if you want to use your phone as a music player. It certainly cannot replace your iPOD.
