LG KG280 - User Reviews

  • Hi everyone i have used 2 years this phone, what can i say...is good looking, slide are working very good but thats all pluses i have observed in this device,poor battery, screen is very bad in sunlight, just 8 mb of memory, a poor camera, my opinion is that was better to be without camera at all ,or you put a 1.3 mpx camera as minimum or you put nothing.Sms typing is very hard becouse buttons is hard to press.So the conclusion a well looking mobile,mid range cost and low performance. Already your choise is to buy it or not !

  • my this here 7 years working PERFECTLY ok, most have bad taste

  • I cant make call

  • my touch pad is locked how can i undo this action?

  • very very poor battery facebook not working in this model

  • Trully!very fly phone but in all honesty tha battery life is very poor!if only u wuld improve

  • SOOOO basically, if you want a phone that you have to superglue EVERY week, and yell while you are on the line with someone, then get this phone. But if you want a normal phone that you can actually SPEAK and HEAR clearly on, then don't get this phone. I've had this phone for 3 years and it's been bad.... for 3 years. So listen to me when I say that although it may look cool, looks are terribly deceiving with this phone.

  • Very poor cell! A "drug" of cells!

  • BATERRY LIFE SUCKS. u have to charge it everyday. if the battery it 3/4 full and you go out for the howle day...by the time you come back at night your phone is dead.

  • VIDEO ------> YES, but we cannot transfer for the computer

  • Sorry for your badluck, but my phone is still working after 2 years. And I like it very much for the design, radio, photo and battery.

  • My memory is totally full,no pictures,no video's,no music,nothing,can anyone tell me how to fix this?

  • Is there any other LG phone that is currently available that uses the same battery as this phone?? I need a battery but this phone seems to have been discontinued.

  • I think that it's a great phone very thing about it is just great>

  • the battery is very bad. when you use the MP3 or camera, there is only 1/4 of the battery left. you have to charche him every day or more. xx sorry for my english,

  • i bought this phone thinking it was kg 800 choc and im a little upset.the phone has plenty of features like camera,bluetooth,usb,calculater,games,and calendar that work very well.Texting and calling aren't spectacular,but work pretty good.The major thing is the memory is only 8 mb.I can only hold 1 full song, a couple of ringtones, and a pic.Buy this if u dont need much memory

  • FM radio - yes

  • It's no touchscreen, when will people learn it has a ''touch sensitive keypad''? Anyway, I like the design of the old KG800 better than this one.

  • i just want to know if this devic (LG KG280) can browze? thanks a lot

  • i like to have one

  • this is the worst phone ever! it broke after 3 months... the touch screen stopped working the screen went green then of a weird color I got it repaired but it broke again. the screen also get easily scatched!

  • Oh no not another shi*te lg chocolate

  • i would like to know if this phone has on a handset portugues option? many thanks

  • This phone is NOT good AT ALL! I had that phone for only 3 weeks and it just stopped working. Everyone who I know who has had that phone has complained too. It looks good in a way but other than its appearance, its rubbish.

  • itssssssssss crapppppppppppppppppppp !!!!!!!!!!

  • its crap mine broke the first day i got it

  • it does have a speaker phone but I am not that happy abt this phone eather

  • Dear Sir, My phone is display "Touchpad lock" How to open lock Thanks Susantha [email protected]

  • I got this phone for my birthday and at first i was so excited! it looked cool and everyone was wanting to see it. But as I started to use it, i was noticing it look about 10 seconds for things to load. it will say "please wait" and then it will freeze and i will have to take the battery out and restart it, just because i wanted to send a single text message. The battery life works fine, there is no music, and for those of you like me, who like to personalize their phone with skins, and wallpapers, you do not get that option. the camera works fine, and the touchscreen buttons are very cool. but i have to say i am happy to be getting a new phone and for those of you considering buying this, i reccomend you look for your other options. this phone is more for younger kids than teenagers or adults. :)

  • i have had this phone for nearly 2 years and it is still in perfect condition other than the scratches. it keeps its condition really well as my freind droped in about 20 times and it never broke! thats one of it's good sides and the fact it looks god. go for a sony ericson tho cos the mp3 player is nicer on sony ericson. also this phone is weird with your answerphone messages. the texting is also very bad. i think its a good phone for younger people that odon't use their phone to much but bad for people that want loads out of their phone

  • so are u saying that this phone is not good ?

  • this phone is a nicec phone,but you must be extra carefull with it because it is extremely sensitive,the touch screen makes it easy,but the minute the phone falls its damaged in some way without you even noticing it.

  • I always thought LG was a good phone brand. Guess I thought wrong. Cons: -Very low volume (does not include speaker) -Types very slow text -Low memory for both multimedia & text -Sensitive touch screen that lags -Signal lags (always get disconnected) Pros: -Looks nice -Battery life I'm moving back to Sony Ericsson.

  • The worst phone I ever had. It broke after dropping it ONCE. I should mention that it also does NOT have a speakerphone or any kind of extra features. Just staight up garbage and waste of my money.

  • Looks great from the outside and the inside. Very durable phone. Very very low volume. Very little memory (1 song). It is just a phone. Works great if it is only used for taking and messaging.

  • This mobile is good looking on the outside and good on the inside

  • Don't play MP3 Don't Play others vidos Don't run java applicatios Don't run JAD files Don't run JAR files The camera is below 128k The sound video and video are noisy loss easy the carrier signal. only is a good loking phone

  • The phone is for kids, is a toy

  • This mobile is very good!!!

  • i have a problem with my phone is just keep on flashing the name kg 600 on the screen so i want to use it what can i do please help.

  • o really it is a sexy phone since i got this phone girls started taking interest in me i got value increased among my friends hey guys just try it once n i am sure it will change your lifesyle

  • my blue is not working whats the cause

  • this is awesome

  • i bought this phone and it was a waste of ma money it started turning off by itself in 2 months and den it didn't show time right den like in 5 months da camera didn't work it took pictures in an ugly green color this phone suck b3sides it doesen't hold much music like 25 only and to see the pictures u have to go out and in it trully sucks and now it doesen't even work at all

  • this phone is no good within three months of purchase the phone start giving problem, first the screen light went, then the screen face. this phone is a typical chocolate melts easily, just like a real chocolate. i HATE IT. big waste of my money!!!!!!!!!

  • do they have them in color

  • i hate this fone, i've had it since christmas now its like got a mind of its own,...i regret choosing it...:@

  • this phone is horrible. within a few weeks, it started turning off by itself, the touch screes stopped working and you could call anyone or do anything in fact, if the buttons dont work and the screen went blank. DO NOT EVER, buy this phone..

  • umm this phone isn't a copy of the "original" chocolate phone by Verizon... Verizon used LG's original chocolate phone, (it's sleeker and has a rectangle "OK" instead of a circle.) - and this phone is just a newer version of their first . (: But yeah, i could see where you got that.

  • is this a chocolate phone?please tell me

  • LG could have done way better. all this phone is, is another GSM version of the original chocolate from Verizon Wireless, but with less than half of the features. the only good thing about this phone is that it is small and it looks like the chocolate. P.S. this phone has a very small screen.

  • It's a bad phone: - touch keys doesn't respond well. - there is no direct underscore when inserting URLs. - bluetooth doesn't install JAVA apps. - WAV and AMR don't sound in JAVA apps.

  • this lg is not very good I've had it for 2 months and already the screen has gone weird and the buttons don't work at all! and the battery hardly last 4 days

  • I got this phone on my upgrade and have countless problems with it. First the screen shows double, then the buttons don't work, now my battery is not lasting more than two days. I kept sending my phone in for repairs until they gave me a new one with my old battery. The battery is not lasting longer than two days. The touch screen is wonderful, but the phone is too problematic. Its just a matter of time for my new one to give problems.

  • does this fone have much memroy

  • So i got this phone..i have had countless problems with it. wow! whoever made this phone must have been serisouly incompetent because it sucks!! the screen is all white.. i cant even see anything. when i turn it off and on it doesnt seem to help.. i can hear the phone making sounds but i cant see anything. this phone is way too sensitive to touch.. the engineering of this phone needs to be improved. everyone made it seem like this phone was so great.. but if i could turn back time i would never get it nor would i ever recommend anyone to get it.

  • tis phone sucks la.got the phone for only two weeks and it jammed on me for a few times ):

  • what are u americans complaining about, when u see a beautiful phone from lg(like dis 1) u should know it wont be available 2 u guys- only in d uk, and europe cause we love style. U guys love ugly phones like d n95. P.S: this is not realised yet!!!!

  • the venus is getting on my nerves.. last week it froze after trying to type messages so i had to take it back and get a new one! the camera lags as ell

  • i got this phone and the keyped spoilt the next two weeks..i change to a new one and also spoil then next one month...haih...this phone really sucks...pls dun buy

  • i got this phone and the keypad spoil the next two weeks...i replace a new one and the new one spoil the next 1 month....chocholate lg really sucks!!!! who read this pls dun buy

  • u know guys lg phones sucks except this 2 1 lg voyager and 2 lg venus

  • A stereo headphones will work? because it came with a freehands set for FM & call.

  • PS: it plays mp3 ringtones (8mb i know), white version available here in brazil (looks really nice), really low cost, 10X better than the V3, very good reception, enough battery.. Cheap fancy basic phone.. Why not?!

  • Mine`s white and I paid 25 euros on pre-paid! Never seen aa cheaper/nice phone!

  • why did lg waste a cool looking cell phone like this by not adding the functions all the modern phones got ... lg had wasted there time by doing this ...

  • the error u get of M506 is because of the bit rate of the music, check the bit rate at details, and compare it with the ones of a song that works, that fixed mine, i downloaded this bit rate converter and it worked. heres the link bye hope is usefull

  • is this the fone used by ashley tisdale in her video?

  • umm were do i start ... it looks good but thats it .... it wrecked 4 times i'm going to use it as a door stopper when i get a new phone ...

  • this phone is off the hook....if only my parentswould get it fo me for christmas

  • its one of the best cellphone that are easly unnderstandable,.i like it a lot ,'im using n70 and i will change soon to lg chocolate.i love it its the best fone ever for me.you should own one you wont regret it.

  • wat does error m506 mean i can play my music

  • This device its a really basic one. It's available in Brazil for a while now, and i think that its not all that bad, it's for those kind of people who want a phone to talk but wants to use bluetooth headsets.

  • it is the worst phone i have ever owned, ive had it for a few weeks and it keeps switching itself off also it freezes in the messages. there is noooo battery low warning it just turns off. i must be LG all there phones are no good.

  • chocolate for homeless people :)

  • it looks nice but not very suitable and main thing is that this phone does not have resale value and no satisfaction at all ib sold it to one stupid fellow.

  • its the poverty pack of the original chocolate which was a absolute flop. these are probably the doa (dead on arrival) handsets lg wants to get rid of

  • umm,is this an essential phone??

  • It has FM Radio, came with a MONO handsfree. And I think 850Mhz too.

  • @Simon just because chocolate here in brazil is about R$800 and this is a half-Price phone... need more? in My country Phones are too expensive... and this phone is avaiable here for about a year

  • This fone have FM Radio too. This is just a beaut fone, don�t have good functions.

  • Kg800 is much much better; it looks better and its specifications are better

  • you can get the original chocolate for 50 quid so why would you want an inferior phone?

  • This is the lg "chocolight" low-grade comparated to the well known "chocolate" and it's avaiable already

  • o.O This phone is weird.. same as kg800.. but worse features. :S
