LG KG800 European Chocolate Review
Share this page:
The Home Screen is standard and is showing the time, battery, signal power, as well as small icons indicating different system information such as active profile or Bluetooth. The name of the operator can easily be hidden and you can add a line with a text of your own. Pressing each of the direction keys acts as a shortcut. Information that shows what each of them does can be brought to the home screen as icons, but they are pretty poorly implemented, just like the line with your own text.

The main menu consists of icons arranged in 3x3; they expand when pointed, but they are not animated and it would have been better if the menu was like the one used in the LG Fusic for example. Each icon has a keypad shortcut assigned (it is indicated with a small number). When an option is accessed, the submenu is visualized as a list, and the options have keypad shortcuts again. The title and nine small tabs can be seen in the upper part of each submenu, and the currently selected one is designated. They correspond to the options in the main menu, hence you can access the different menus by using the right and left direction keys.

You do not have the option to personalize the phone with themes but you can choose two colors for the menu black and grey. Wallpapers can be set using the ones stored by default in the phone, as well as different pictures taken with the camera, transferred from another phone or PC, while the size of the files is restricted as they should not be more than 100KB.

An interesting option is to color the number when entering one through the keypad; the numbers are black by default, but when this option is activated, each digit of the number is visualized in different color so that they can be easily distinguished.
