LG KG810 - User Reviews

  • will this phone act as modem to my laptop for amasim connection?

  • Released here as "Black Safira" MG810c, was an excellent mobile! For that time, we didn't have so many options about a mobile with mp3,radio fm,camera,internet,java together! Better than Motorola V3, Safira still rocks!

  • i would like to know if i can buy it and if it is already in shop

  • Hi all--am considering this phone as a substitute for the LG Chocolate 3 (I have AT&T now, and the 3 isn't covered under their network for some inexplicable reason), so I'm wondering a couple of things that haven't been covered in the posts: is the keypad flat or is it a designated keypad (raised, tacticle)? And is the screen inside bright, w/ good resolution? (And are you able to adjust brightness? One review said no, another yes.) And if any of you have owned the 3, let me know if you think they're comparable. Thanks much! Kind regards, Annie

  • HI there Sarah just a question, Im trying to do the same think, i would be ever so greatful if you could tell me how. :) ThanX

  • Hi, all i want to do is put musik on my phone... i like the phone. i only came to this website to get help on how to put musik on my phone, and did anyone get help really??? Please help i im obsessed with musik and without it on my phone im gonna go crazy! I need help please?

  • stie ccineva codu de restrictionare pt telu asta? sa mearga si cu alte cartele!pls

  • battery life is shorter than i expected. also have had problems using the net. cant seem to get through.the touchpad on the external LCD needs a bit of work as well

  • This phone is sleek and pretty. But it gets easily smudged. I love flip phones, however, its lacking features that i want. Camera is good.(unnecessary to me) Radios, mp3s,etc..I dont need. BUT ANYWHO, what really bothers me is this: Every time I call my voicemail and it gives me options of what to with the message, my keypad DOES NOT WORK. Does anyone here have any advice or suggestion? oh and HOW DO YOU ENABLE SPEAKERPHONE?

  • within two weeks of buying this phone I had to sell it.After searching for an affordable, ok, goodlooking flip phone( I love flip phones) I ended up buying this one.I gotta say it's a good looking phone but the battery life is so short,I can't hear when it's ringing,it's smears easily-I have to be rubbing it against my clothes every minute.Overall it can work,it just doesn't work for me.

  • i want to put music on phone

  • I need help downloading my ringtones and putting music on my mp3 can some one please help with this as so as u can.

  • This phone is driving me crazy, Just don't have enough Volume and the battery life is to short.

  • Sorry about that question. Didn't read all the posts. Read it now and got the answer. sorry again.

  • Can you put mp3 to play when you recive sms, and if you can how? I tried and didn't know how!

  • Thanks Thassy. Should of read the previous post. Now I can play mp3's on my KG810.

  • to use the touch pad hold down the volume up button

  • Does anyones touch pad not work?

  • No, they cannot

  • No way to do that, sorry :( I've tried, too - but the official email from LG (yes, went that far!) I've received says it's not possible

  • caN anyone help me where can i find or download games that compatible for my LG KG810?please, i need your help,.this thing makes me crazy.,

  • Why did they put those music player based touch sensitive keys if the phone cannot suport a memo card and has ONLY 128 MB!!!???

  • Had this mobile for a week now. Battery life is not so great, but can last up to two days without a charge with minimal use. There is a problem with the installation disc. It doesn't install the driver for the usb cable. So I'm having trouble to place mp3s on the device. Contents wise were a lot for the low price. Included were the charger, headphones, cleaner strap, usb cable, manual, CD rom and of course the unit with lots of protective slips. Keypad is pretty easy to use making sms messaging easy to use. Camera picture on screen doesn't match the actual picture taken. Keypad cannot be locked.

  • Just got the phone in Australia... Charging up now... I've read about the issues on this site and decide to get it anyway. One reaso is the price drop. Will give more detail review next post.

  • Can mp3 ringtones be assigned to the message tone and/or alert tone?

  • does anyone have a problem with the ringtone volume?? I believe i have my phone set to ring at the loudest, yet i miss many of my calls cuz its so soft. I have tried numerous ringtones just to see if the ringtone i selected was the problem. Somebody heeelllppp!!! Also, the reception goes completely at times...Wats up with that??? HELPPP!!

  • I see bobbie having problems downloading mp3 to your LG KG810 phone. You need to select 'connections' on config. menu. Select Removable disk and insert your security code. (Default is 0000). Select data transfer. After this, plug the usb cable on your computer. A new window showing all that your phone has in will open. There is a music paste where you can put your musics. After this, you need to remove the phone safely and exit from the transfer screen on your phone. All the musics will be easily found at your mp3 paste on your phone. I wish it can help you.

  • I have used this phone in Canada for the past yr. or so. it works fine.

  • David_LM I have noticed on a blog site that you have had a problem with a cell phone purchased from the business Cellz4less. I am referencing the below blog: "bob, the phone I have is fully unlocked and unbranded. I have called Cingular customer support, gone to an official Cingular store and have gone to another cell phone store and none of them can help; they all say that my phone is defective. I put in my girlfriend's T-Mobile SIM card and the same thing, nothing. If any of you are using this phone with Cingular please let me know how I can get mine working!! The eBay seller I purchased it from (cellz4less) is not responding to me and I'm afraid I may have lost my $220!! Please help!!" I have also had a problem with a purchase made with this company. I have googled this company a lot, and see they have ripped off a lot of other customers. If you are like me, and never got resolution I suggest you also complain through the Better Business Bureau and E-bay. The website for the Better Business Bureau is: www.bbb.org - all you have to do is search for Cellz4less in Culver City, CA. Good luck, and I hope you reached some resolution.

  • runescape!!

  • Can I use this model in canada?

  • Yes; it has a micro SD slot; I have a 2 gig chip in there now.

However, When I tried to open the MP4 video files that I copied from the phone to my computer, I kept getting "ERROR 2041 � invalid sample description was found in the movie". Do you have any idea how I can transfer and open/play my videos???

  • To Mehreen. It doesn0t have a card slot,just 128 mb of internal memory.

  • Someone please tell me how to put the pictures i have in my phone to the computer. please please im really desperate

  • A few things: 1) Text Message dates and times are completely random. Anyone know how to fix this? pls email me 2) Apparently when reception isnt great the other side hears a loud buzzing sound. Perhaps hardware issue or something. 3)Wish i could assign mp3s to sms alerts 4)Complete lack of support from LG. There rnt even any firmware updates which could fix alot of the problems ppl have mentioned

  • how to i download music and what format of music should i use on my phone

  • ive had this phone since november and i have really liked it up until recently. the date and time of all of my text messages are all wrong. i cant get mp3 songs onto it. the battery has been running out quicker. and now i have no signal, anywhere. downtown, in my house, outside, anywhere. and it is really annoying. if anyone knows how to fix any of these problems. let me know, please.

  • How do you receive Multimedia text msgs?

  • there are two problems: 1.- I can not syncronaize te outlook to my phone 2.- I can not hear the phone when I receive messages, is there a way to chnge the tone when the messeges are received? Pls send me a mail helping me. [email protected]

  • i was wondering if anyone knew how to make your text messages go into the outbox after sending rather than always in the sent folder?

  • Still no memory card.....?

  • Err, never mind about the touch screen, figured that out, but if anyone knows about the windows logo testing, could you please let me know.

  • Does anyone know if the software for this phone has passed its windows logo testing, also i cant get the touch sensitive playing keys to work, any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Ive had this phone for 4 months now at first I was scepitical about it but now I find it really cool.The only problem I have with it is when am using the internet it sometimes switches off by itself.It would be even cooler if it came with a phone cover to minimise on scratching.Am from Zambia

  • I like this phone . I think that its a very nice one, infact im considering getting this phone.

  • Need help... my phone posts an incorrect time and date with every text message I get. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • I've had this phone for about three months and its really good. The only problem i've had is that the battery runs out pretty quickly. however, ive been able to live with it. the mp3 player is cool, and the camera isn't the greatest, but it works!! it's also easy to connect to the computer. just plug the USB plug into the phone (not the computer yet) go to settings, then connectivity, then removable devices, data transfer and then plug the usb plug into the computer and voila!

  • hello, i've had this phone for about a month so far, and i can't complain. looks sleek, simple features that get me by, considering it's main function is a phone. anyway i found out how to read incoming text messages on the external screen. if anyone is interested in knowing, you can email me at [email protected]

  • Hey, well i love this phone it is very slim and really cool. But parents think its a waste of money!!! I was just wondering if it is worth the money and if it has day to day features like music that sounds good like not crackly. And if you can lock the keys on the top of it because i have heard its very easy if its in your pocket to accidently hit a call button or something else. Please if you know the answers to this question just answer by email where it says email at the top of this message/question Kind regards Steff

  • I have this one till january and I think it is good enough for the money I paid for it no major problems,except the poor ringing volume,short battery life(small capacity)and the fact that thil beautyful one gets dirty very easy :) go for it,STYLISH

  • this is a nice and sleek phone . igive my props HEY

  • the only thing i am wondering about this phone- these touch screen buttons.. am i able to lock them up so they wont be active when being in my purse??

  • Cheap ideas taken from moto!! why are all of Lg's ugly??? none of them look like I would to buy,

  • If this is the same as LG MG810 here in Brazil, I�m very disappointed with it!! First of all, it doesn�t have camera Flash, as you can see in its picture! The signal is so poor, tha I�m constantly without service in the middle of downtown, banks and other areas, the service is available only in open areas; It only registers 10 dialed, 10 missed and 10 received calls; It simply doesn�t support setting MP3 for alarm sound; We can�t minimize the MP3 player, the only way you can have a GIF image in your phone is by receiving it from MMS messages,the phone software doesn�t support this function, it doesn�t support screen themes, it has only one alarm, and has no snooze; only MP3 files are accepted,no wma; No voice dialing, and my phone has a "BUG" - The text messages always come with wrong date and time, besides it passed a "time" in the tecnical assistance! I bought this phone must because of its look, it really is a beautiful phone, but the lack of signal gets me peaced off. I payed a very expensive price and of course I should have choosen the SE phones.

  • does it come with a usb lead????

  • this mobile is very beautiful but not SD CARD, very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ammmmm......i had this phone bout 4 months now and i still cant get my WAP set up can i get some help

  • you missunderstood. SETTINGS on you mobile not on the pc and than when you do all the things that i wrote below than go to my computer and there you will see icon of usb drive and touch screen is activated when not in audio player (external lcd is on,when it is off just press volumen boutton for 3-4 sec) simply by pressing any of the two volumen bouttons twice and when is activated press play twice and that will take you to the list of your songs and again pressing play will activate your audio player

  • Denis post wasnt helpful to me i was unable to find settings anywhere on my computer i dont have the classic view of microsoft so i couldnt find it. I only have microsoft xp but i still cant connect my phone to the computer and it so annoying. so if u know how i can connect another way

  • I just got this phone and cannot connect the phone to my computer to transfer music onto it. I've tried uninstalling and installing it. And i've read and re-read the instructions and even tried the net. I just can't get my computer to recognise the phone. Any ideas on how to do this?

  • Hey guys, ive had this phone since october, and i have many gripes about this phone. 1. Lack of Speakerphone. I think they should have incorporated it since you can listen to songs on the speaker prettyy loud, why not just add a little bit of software support for speakerphone? 2. i dont know if this is only my phone, but every time someone calls me when im already on the line with someone else, the phone automatically shuts down. VERY annoying. 3. Lack of individual ringtones. You can only assign one ringtone for everyone, you cant personalize ringtones for each individual person. 4. The speaker when youre talking to someone is not very loud, the loudest setting to me is still very hard to hear for me. 5. Text message dates and times are random and theres no way to change it. 6. Included software for contacts and what not do not work, ive used 3 differant computers. The only thing i really like about this phone is the mp3 player, decent battery life, and the design. Overall, i give this phone a 3.5/10

  • i just got this phone recently, (gsm version) and i have to say it's looking pretty good even though it has few features, but a phone is a phone, and it will always be a phone regardless if it has a 10 megapixel camera or high-quality mp3 player. anyway i've heard that one is able to read text messages on the external lcd, and i've seen it done on my friend's phone once(verizon version) when the phone receives a text you just push the play button the outside of the phone and it automatically opens the text message, you can scroll up and down with the volume buttons. ok well anyway i tried this with my phone and it doesn't work, it just opens up the mp3 player. anyone know if it is possible to read text messages with the gsm version of this phone??

  • ok if you are having trouble using the touch buttons .......just go tothe mp3 player then shut the phone....it keeps plaing press in the middle of the volume buttons on the side and hold while pressing the buttons on the front.....big thank you to me........reffer to denises comment to upload songs.

  • when i install the software to connect it to my computer it just wont work any ideas at all there, i have installed it and uninstalled it, just wont connect and has time out etc, its a real hassle

  • omg i love this phone its by far the best looking at the moment and it has awsom features !! could do with a flash for the camera more theme colours better message tones and a little easier to down load songs onto !! but over all its great i havnt had any trouble with it yet and ive had it for 4 months !! im a big fan of the LG phones and i would buy another one of these f something was to happen to mine !!

  • Hey everyone!! i have had my KG 810 phone since october n i absolutely LOVED it!!! but My phone completely snapped in half about 2 days ago cuz it got stuck in a recliner chair and i was SOOOO bummed. I tried lookin at buyin a different phone but i just couldnt do it. But like all of you i had difficulty using the USB n downloading MP3s. I still to this day only had ONE song on it that i received from a friends phone by bluetooth. anyways, Im really interested in getting this phone again, if someone has a solution to how i can get songs downloaded to it, I will be MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP ANYONE TROUBLE SHOOT ANYTHING ELSE. (SINCE I HAVE HAD THE PHONE FOR SO LONG I KNOW ALL THE TRICKS AND STUFF.) so OVERALL its a great phone.. very sexy slim, but the software i think should be upgraded somehow so its easier for people to download music.

  • hey everyone. Iv had the phone for nearly a week and i wouldnt buy it. Its missing sooo many little features like personize message alert and volume adjusted, speaker phone. Its hard to work out the mp3 down load. The battery life is a day and a bit with one or two quick phone calls. But it looks great and its light but thats it. Not happy.

  • hey just got this phone- so far am loving it - but the user bookelet doenst seem to explain much - like how do i set caller id pictures? and also i found out how to activate the touch sensitive keys ont eh front - but after a while they turn off and i cant activate them again... please help

  • Hey guys. Just got the new kg810 but how do I put my own ring tone as the sms alert tone?

  • Denis, thanks for explaining how to use the phone as a usb. Every other method left me at a dead end. The phone clearly works w/o playing mp3s and stuff, but there's no point in having the features if they aren't utilized. Thanks again

  • Did anyone notice failure on Picture ID caller function. When you set few numbers on speed dial and set the picture for one of them, that pictue will show for all numbers in speed dial list !!! For all calls income or outgiong calls !!!

  • Hey, I got this phone and generally i like it very much so. But i have two questions: Does anyone know how to get the phone to automatically save outgoing sms'? It always asks if i want it saved but is there a way of making the phone do it automatically? And also.. Can u get new msg tones for the phone? They are pretty crappy... do i have to download one? how do i do that or can i upload music and select one of those as my new msg tone?... sorry.. i'm not very phone savvy. Thanks!!

  • come on it's the sexiest phone around, who cares about the features, which are still great, but hey, its looks surpass all other phones

  • .....and i just discovered how to use touch screen. you just have to press the volumen button about 3 sec then touchpad will show when using the audio player

  • For downloading pic mp3 from pc dont install nothing. first plug cable on the phone only than go to settings, connectivity, removeable disk: enter 0000 then chose data transfer, whait a few seconds then plug in the cable on computer, your computer will recognize the phone as a USB drive,

  • overall, is this phone a good phone? is it worth it tradng in sony ericsson W550i with this phone?

  • I'm also having problem accessing the touch pad...Anyone can help me?...noted with much obliged

  • i need help in trying to use the touchscreen part... pls help

  • i have tried to download music onto it but i cannot can someone please help me

  • I've read through the post and many have the same trouble as me with uploading/transferring mp3s to phone. I've followed the steps and whenever I enter data transfer after menu-9-5-2, the phone simply says 'Not Available'. My computer reads it as a usb device, prompts me to install device driver. Once it successfully installs, the computer no longer reads the phone. I can't even make the initial connection from phone to cpu. If anyone can post or e-mail me with a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Good looking phone Nice software Nice muzic play but slow (also all sounds are played slow) Missing Voice calling and posibility to use another card.

  • I heard that this one is clamp version of the first chocolate...Is that true? Same soft/menu? can someone tell me where I can find games compatible with this one? And final question:how many colours has the menu? The manual said 4 ,I have only 2 (black and silver)... Thanks!

  • So, I am reading a lot of peoples' problems with the phone and Cingular. I just bought the phone off of eBay, and I just want to see if people are still having problems with the phone on the Cingular network. Thanks!

  • Just got the phone for 2 days..so far its pretty decent but here some features its suppose to have but i'm yet to discover 1. Battery life of 200h (haha try 48 hours of standby no talking maybe 72 if u dont touch it at all) 2. Flash (dont even see a flash light) 3. Touch screen doesnt work all that well (both software issues and hardware problems)...a brief scan of the manual doesnt really explain how to use the tocuh screen overall however its a pretty good phone

  • Can this phone sync with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003? Especially the Contacts.

  • hey..ugh...i just got my phone like a week ago..and i still have no idea if thid phone is capable of being set on "speaker" while speaking with someone..if it can be achieved...please tell me how to do it..

  • I have a problem when i'm trying to download any aplication from internet,i've a restriction of 200kb per download.There's no network restriction,i've another model and it's no problem downloading

  • i just bought this phone last week in the states and it is unlocked but the sim card that i put on and i tried many simcards there arent any signals or NO NETWORK, and ive been trying to download the USB and the featured from the cd to the computer but the installation doesnt want to go through, i need help and im getting frustrated... please help..

  • Hi i got this phone for $225.00 off www.cellular-mobile.com awsome phone im not into the features if it looks good its good with me.. cant wait till i get mine!!

  • Similar problems to other users - I can't download any MP3 files from my PC to the phone. Tried everything!! Can anyone help? Please can anyone send some instructions? Many thanks. PS Bought the phone at the weekend in the UK - if this is of any use?

  • hey im thinking of getting this phone.. does anyone know whether you can plug earphones in it to listen to music?

  • hi what sort of software thing do you need to connect the phone and the computer?

  • I'm here to the rescue. First off - if you cant get the phone to recognize the cingular network: Go into settings, connectivity, network, band selection. Choose PCS This should light the phone up on cingular. If you are getting poor connectivity, that is because this phone doesn't work on the 850mhz band. It operates on the 1900mhz band for cingular, which is worse. But still usable. Basically you may experience shoddy reception and straight to voicemail issues when you are in buildings. Outside its perfect. Copying files to the phone: - Install the software/driver - *before you plug it in* go to: settings, connectivity, removeable disk: enter 0000 then chose data transfer, wiat a few seconds then plug in the data cable, your pc will recognize the phone as a USB drive, except the defaults for the driver installation - then just open the drive like a normal usb drives, and copy movies, sounds, and pics to the appropriate folder. - make sure when you are done to safely remove the device from teh pc, then hit exit and unplug Setting up MMS took me about 4 hours to figure out, so if you need that walkthrough just e-mail me. If you have any other questions you can e-mail me too, and i'll try to answer.

  • Through some random act and calling Rogers yet another time the phone is now working on their network. Using the PCS band(1900), which I had tried many times earlier they were able to allow access. My new issue is actually getting the phone to charge. Plugging in the travel adapter (Model STA-P51RD) with the North American plug attachment does nothing. There is no indication of charging for the past two hours, the phone is still Out of Battery and will not turn on. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  • Sirc, I talked to someone on the Cingular user forum and found out that in my area I need a phone that is GSM 850 compatible and this phone is NOT. However, I just heard back from the eBay seller I purchased it from and he will be issuing me a refund. I would check to see what GSM setting is required for Rogers in your area and mess around with the Band settings some. I was messing with the Band settings and actually was able to connect to the T-Mobile network with my girlfriend's T-Mobile SIM. Hope you get it working!!

  • Like David_LM I am having the same problem except my carrier is Rogers AT&T in Canada. The phone is unlocked and I did manage to connect manually to the Rogers network by chance and I made several test calls, however once I turned the phone off and on I am no longer able to automatically or manually connect to the Rogers network. When I called them they were able to see the phone but were unsure how to connect it. Another representative says the phone is just not compatible with their network, but if it wasn't then how would I have been able to make calls? I am going to try another SIM card on the Rogers network see if that perhaps is my problem, but I am guessing it may not be. I am hoping that I don't have a $400 paper weight now. I see that there are a few people with this problem and I am wondering if any of them have found a solution?

  • I got the phone last week and it's a great looking phone. I'm a bit out of touch with technology recently and can not work out how to load music onto the phone. I've managed to load music onto my MP3 Player before but am having no luck doing the same onto my LG KG810 mobile. I should probably read the manual more. Also did anyone have any luck using the software disc that comes with the phone, my computer was warning me about loading it onto my computer, although i still did. Cheers!

  • bob, the phone I have is fully unlocked and unbranded. I have called Cingular customer support, gone to an official Cingular store and have gone to another cell phone store and none of them can help; they all say that my phone is defective. I put in my girlfriend's T-Mobile SIM card and the same thing, nothing. If any of you are using this phone with Cingular please let me know how I can get mine working!! The eBay seller I purchased it from (cellz4less) is not responding to me and I'm afraid I may have lost my $220!! Please help!!

  • david maybe your phone is locked on verizon so u can only use verizon with it

  • man! this phone only video records for 15 seconds!am i wrong or right? i thought maybe a good 50 mintues to an hour like my old samsung d500.and i want to put songs on it...what will i need?give me specific brands and stuff. and i also was wondering if i can use the sounds on my voice recording as my ringtone?

  • the manual says it has email but it doesnt have it on the phone! how do i use the email feature?

  • HELP !! I just received this phone today, popped in my Cingular SIM card and ... NOTHING!! It doesn't automatically detect my Cingular network and when I do a manual detection it says "Fail". Cingular is the #2 network on the "Preferred" list of networks so it SHOULD work. If anyone has Cingular and uses this phone or knows of how to fix this problem I would love your assistance!! Please e-mail: [email protected] THANKS!!

  • I love it. It's so easy to use its great. I love the coloured nubers for dialling, they're awsom. If it had a flash and loud spaker also more theme colours that would just top it off, but it's definatelty worth the money as is. I'm a big fan of LG phones, they're great.

HELP..

  • super design :)) good phone if is free :))

  • okay the whole process: before plugin it, go to Menu -> Settings (9) -> Connectivity (5) -> Removable Disk (2) -> dial 0000 as the password -> Data Transfer (1) and wait a lil bit until it appears "Removable Disk" as the title. Than you plug the USB to your phone and Windows will recognize it as a normal storage drive. Put your music in the music folder. And that's it!

  • yeah, how can I change the numbers color? the default colors are so gay... its weird how a classy phone can do that

  • hey ok i got this phone n i found out that it does not have the card slot i mean that sux bt i still like it but can anyone please tell me how to upload mp3 i mean the whole process like after connecting the phone n usb.........then wat u do....plus it doesnt even tell u abt it in the book....u can email me the whole process plz i need help

  • The MP3 player works fine. You connect it to a comp. then open windows explorer and drag the music you want over to the music folder

  • U need to use the connectivity - Removable Disk function to transfer music and pictures taken from the phone ... took me a while to find it out but its all good... The transfer of music and picture files work like a thumbdrive... if it doesnt work the first time try again and the default password for the removable disk is 0000

  • Hmm... Very simple... I am not an employee or whatever for LG or any phone place for that matter... This phone is my fave... One...There is a speaker which you can hear your mp3's... I heard someone comment about that... Here's the big one... Mp3 transfer is simply done with Bluetooth to Bluetooth... Either get a new comp with bluetooth or two get a bluetooth to plug into your usb... Then connect the phone to pc and you're set... ^_^ Aloha!!!

  • Daniel, here's what you have to do to get mp3's from your PC: MENU> 9 > 5 > 2

  • It looks great BUT, when it rings it's not loud enough, it's impossible to get the pictures from the phone to the computer using the USB cable and there's no way to load mp3 songs if not from another phone using the BLUETOOH option. After a month of use LG had to give me a new one because mine was already presenting technical problems. Really wish i could return it.

  • can somebody, anybody from LG pleeze enlighten us on how to transfer MP3 songs from PC to phone?!

  • thanks will, but is there a way to change the colours or the size of the numbers?

  • Just got this phone, great design, but a few problems which are important; no snooze-button on the alarm! very little memory no speaker multicoloured numbers on display when dialling-no option to remove I'll probably find more as I get to know it better. Can someone please tell me if there is a snooze button!!?

  • I have the same problem with trying to get my mp3 songs from my pc to hp. I tried evrything with the mobile agent. Someone please help!!!!!!!!!

  • hi, would appreciate if someone can tell me how to transfer mp3 from pc to hp and how to save pics in hp to pc. the LG mobile agent doesn't seem to be able to do that. thanks.

  • tali, the reason for the giant coloured numbers when u type in numbers is so that you can distinguish what you're typing easily. Number with duplicates can be hard to figure out sometimes.

  • hi, where do you change the characters for when dialing to make them smaller than the standard ones that come with the phone.thanks

  • is this phone in any other colours? white maybe?

  • I WANT THIS PHONE i think this phone sounds great. i havent got it yet but i cant wait to get it isnt it a bit expensive though? can anyone say if this phone is good for the money? thank you this means alot to me x x x

  • Hi i just got the phone today and it doesnt have fido on its network list. Does anyone know how to add it or what i have to do to detect the network. Thnx

  • i havnt got this phone yet but it sounds great i think i might get it. i hope moor people can tell me what else is on there.

  • Hi! I LOVE THIS PHONE! But there seems to be a defect with the phone!! How to tell if you have this defect: If you load up the Zoo Zoo game, and the song that plays in the beginning just cuts off and goes directly to the main menu of the game, it is a sign that you may have this defect!!!

  • is it true that the camera can zoom 20x?

  • Bought my KG810 from ebay for A$360. Its a very good standard phone - it does everything well (mp3, camera, bluetooth). What it lacks in camera megapixel functionality or storage it definitely makes up in sexiness. I love how it USB charges! and the Zoo zoo java game is addictive!

  • this phone roks!

  • Hi, I am wondering if any of you have the same problem that I do with my LG KG810. When the default game Zoo Zoo Club loads, the introductory music does not play all the way while the other game Sudoku does. I am wondering if this could be a possible defect of this phone!! Please, could somebody check if they have the same problem! I'm not sure if it's just my phone that does this. Thanks!! It would be much appreciated!

  • received my kg810 yesterday and am pretty happy with it. the cover is a fingerprint magnet so i find myself wiping it often. Interface is okay, sound is okay, camera okay, but definitely very sexy :)

  • can mp3 tones be message and ring tone??

  • do they have it in pink? :D

  • This phone is tight I jus bought it the camra is fantastic

  • the design is quite trendy and no longer have the sensitive heat sensor touchpad problem in KG800. Check out the review at

  • cute... ;)

  • does the phone come with a photo phonebook? as in, can people see who is calling on the external screen?

  • The KG810 is a good phone with a few problems letting it down. First off, it gets smudged and scratched easily after very little use. Secondly the battery life is terrible. I think it should also have more built in memory...

  • The KG810 is a good phone with a few problems letting it down. First off, it gets smudged and scratched easily after very little use. Secondly the battery life is terrible. I think it should also have more built in memory...

  • Hi, anyone happen to know if the USB cable provided might be able to use as USB charger as well?

  • I like a simple phone like this. But its too expensive! It doesn't has speaker phone & can't expand memory! Y ?????????? I was dissappointed to hear the price :(

  • well i had the kg800 it was driving me nuts@#$. I use my phone alot and the touchpad really sucked. so i sold it after one month use for 100 less, then i got the kg810 its better but i am having problems i cant use the call waiting. when i am on the phone and get another call the shuts off and reboots i did not know playing phone tag was so much fun!! the vendor of this phone told me, i need to not over charge my battery, so i got a new battery and followed the charging instruction to the tee. well!! problem still exist..love the phone hate the problem! does anyone else have this problem? please let me know if you do? reply is welcome.. thanks for reading.

  • my mistake. it doesn't even have EDGE at all. ROFLMAO!

  • wow. NO memory card slot, NO speakerphone, 1.3mp camera? weak EDGE? extremely horrible battery life? tri-band? what a pathetic effort on LG's behalf at mimicking RAZR. for the same price you can now get the motorola KRZR K1. 2mp camera, microSD slot, excellent speakerphone, class 12 EDGE, quadband world roaming and a battery with 6 hours talk time (tested myself). nice to see moto for once topping the koreans instead of the other way around. : )

  • damn, i really want to get this phone, just like i did with the chocolate. the features are somewhat dissapointing though, my old phone has a 1.3mp camera (SE S700i), and seeing as the 3mp sets are coming on to the market now, do I really want to have the same camera again? Im on the fence with this phone, SonyEricsson and Samsung offer similar phones to the "chocolate" style phones, with higher specs and lower prices...though the design on the LG phones keeps me from coming back...

  • this phone sucks!!!!!!i put my simcard in and NOTHING!!!!!WERE IS THE NETWORK?? no settings?? helllllooo??i got it free anyways new in the box so guess what lg fans i smashed it with a hammer and was a blast to see it shatter and all the insides to pieces!!! my moto razr was better anyways!!

  • Does this phone have a built-in hands free speaker? Should I go for this or SE Z710?

  • just got this phone on an upgrade, its awesome, really beautiful, and I would honestly recommend it to anyone looking for the pinaccle in styling and features.

  • excellent

  • less features then my old SE K700i ... and crapper battery life then my even older Nokia 3310... looks like a winner we have on our hands here.. late 2006 !! LG should maybe stick to making appliances... or fire some of those female desingers ?

  • how can any one listen to the radio when this phone isnt an a speaker phone wow! wat a great accomplisment by Lg..

  • Features may not satisfy those gadget lovers, but i think these days cellphones should be evaluated on how unique and stylish they are-since most of the phones pretty much have similar functions... Cameras.. 1.3 or 2... i don't think it really matters cuz everyone has digital cameras nowadays, it's not like anyone's going to take a picture of Grand Canyon with his cellphone... 810 looks great~ easy to use, last but not least amazingly stylish...

  • i guess this was made after the slider chocolate so i dont know why no memery card slot or even a speaker phone,the camera stays at 1.3mp where as lg do 2 mp camera phones this could of been a great improvement on the chocolate but it isnt.

  • How about the sound or speaker quality of this phone? It is a stereo one??

  • How to download mp3 from pc to cell phone

  • Could any one tell me about the camera or pictures quality?

  • can y'all find the flash light?? I'm wondering where is it???

  • It's OK, but the battery life is always the problem for LG. Please LG release 1000 mAh battery for this beautiful device.

  • IMHO, it is a very stylish phone. However, like the KG800, thats all there is to it. I think that around this time, if a cellphone were to only have a 1.3MP camera then it should at least support video conferencing. Too bad though, if LG had released both the KG800 and KG810 at the time 1.3MP was as good as a cellphone's camera gets, then I'd actually acknowledge them as very good phones. For a cellphone of these specs to be released at this day of time it is very sub-standard.

  • Hope it was a little cheaper in USA because it is beautiful and the best looking phones

  • to bill, How come you know the downsides of this phone? Do you have it or do you actualy used it? or maybe you are only comparing this phone to lg's old model phones. Gosh! take a break, please be true on your post. I had a old lg phone and UI is as good as any other major manufacturer and the alarm tones can be customized with downloaded sounds except with the sms tone.

  • I was very close to buying the KG800 but a few things put me off which will likely remain the same for the 810. Firstly, the design is drop dead gorgeous. And in Malaysia the 800 came with a very nice package. 2 batteries, desktop charger, screen protector etc. However, the downside to the phone is its features. In this day and age, for a phone lacking in basic functions like speakerphone and assignable ringtones for alarm and sms is pretty much a given. Unfortunately this phone didn't have any of those. I think it really depends on what you want in a phone. I do not mind that the camera isn't great but I do emphasize having a speakerphone and I love to wake up in the morning to some good music. Someone from Brazil mentioned this phone is going for 500USD, which comes up to about 2k in Malaysia. That is very pricey. I could get the 800 for 1.2k and I doubt the 810 will cost 2k in Malaysia. Just look at its functions. My quest for a new phone continues ...

  • If you look at the features on this phone compared to some of the phones coming out, they aren't all that great. LG have put in the standard fixtures which you would expect in this day and age, but if you look at some of the Sony phones that are coming onto the market soon, this one kinda pales in comparison. That said though, the design of this one is awesome. No denying that. Much better than the 800, in my view.

  • Lookz Like an Oreao Cookie from the front bottom

  • yeah right!!!!!

  • Perfect !

  • Hi all, In Brazil the KG810 is being sold at around USD500.00. It came to the market recently and it seems like it is going to be a hit! I love it!!! Is it being sold in Singapore? Do you think it will be cheaper than this? Thank you!!

  • dimension are awesome,no other remarkable thing

  • NO speaker phone??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!.........

  • the best of the best.......

  • The design is great... But I still prefer da chocolate... Melt in your hand. One big drawback on LG phones, FiNgErPrInT are easily seen on da phone...

  • the bad thing abt chocolate is dat they dont have loud speaker...anyway the design is cool.

  • in my opion this is a relly cool phone i really like this phone it is something driffent.and for me it is a sexy phone i would recomend this phone for anyone

  • No not at all you only have to go onto ebay to see the LG chocolates selling at around �200. I think of LG like samsung, samsung wasn't really that popular with cell phones or TV sets for that matter until they made the T100, but everyone wanted T100 back in 2002. Since Samsung made the t100 its seems to have catapulted the company into a higher consumer class and ubiquity status. I remember i was in a electrical store and i wouldn't buy a Samsung DVD player over a TOSHIBA one back before 2002, now i rank SAMSUNG very high on my list, much higher than TOSHIBA now ironically. The same to is happening with LG with their chocolate range. I never thought much of LG phones till the KG800 came out i knew they invented HDTV and are the no.1 LCD flat panel TV manufacturers but now i notice they make other high quality electronic items also, TV's, DVD recorders etc. Its all about branding and style if a company gets that right they will be successful and be able to comand a market price and the KG800 and KG810 is all the latter.

  • ppl, heard tt LG phone r v low value when u sell in sg. is tt true?

  • Does the 800 and 810 have speaker phone?

  • It looks so pretty, if adding card slot I will give perfect 10.

  • Mmmm.... Chocolate! But freakin' LG insist that it ain't gunna be in the choccy series... not that that'll stop me. Seeing as it's about the same as the "Choccy" phone, I'm expecting it be be around the same price, which is $550 here in Australia, It would be better if it was a bit cheaper though. I can't believe that it's being released as a CDMA in Korea, that sucks!! Really hope it comes here soooooo soon, I'll be hanging out for it big time, i can't wait!!! ;)

  • i love lg mobile phone

  • it will cost around the same price as LG KG800.it's really cool,but i prefer KG800,it looks a bit better.software and all the componenets re the same in both mobile phones.

  • this phone is sooo amazing! it's so cool! i want 1! i hope its not gonna be too expensive... if it is i wont be able to get one but im craving for one! its the best phone in the world! does anybody have any idea when its coming oout in australia?

  • Men... This phone is da bomb. See all features... It's gonna cost alot i guess. Well i'm waiting for it to Get on sale so i can pick mine up... Friends would love it... Hehe

  • It's a extremely sleek design, it reminds me of a beautiful modern car, however when I flip it open I feel a slight letdown; I don't like how the keys are presented; color and touch, it just seems out of place... it's like finding knobly bits of plastic in a hot car when you're expecting metal and black leather. The gray-and-black keys go against the color scheme - black body, glowing red and silver trim... gray makes it seem to dull.

  • I think this phone is soo nice! I live in the UK and I'm sure it isnt out here yet otherwise I definitely would have grabbed it. Does anyone have any idea when it could come out? I really want a super slim clamshell phone and I don't know which is best..design as the most important element but obv a good phone too.. any suggestions?

  • LG gettin better everyday

  • this is my PERFECT DREAM hp. With everything i want! When is it coming out in Sg? Hope it's not too exp...

  • wow~ Slim N stylish~ I wanna get one..

  • LG is really pushing the design envelope aren't they? Just been told that this model has been launched in Europe and China, yet ironically, I live in Korea - home to LG - and it has yet to be released here as a CDMA model!!! Personally, I think the KG810 is more stunning than the the KG800 Chocolate... Awesome design ~ no doubt it will fare well against other black / slim clamshells such as the Moto RAZR and Samsung D810. Well done LG!
