Before we ponder LG’s “Chocolate” moniker, it’s the novel design of the KG800 that sets the it apart from anything we’ve seen before. It has an innovative touch-sensitive navigation keypad, which is inactive when the phone is closed and locked, but glows vibrantly red when you slide the screen up. Alternatively you can access these keys by unlocking the phone with two presses of the volume key when slid shut.

This sexy slim handphone comes in four colors – deep wine, cool black, pure white and sexy pink. It has a touch sensitive keypad and comes with 1.3 mega pixel camera with video recording. Now that’s Chocolate KG800 by LG Mobile also has Bluetooth connectivity and MP3 player.

Other characteristics of the phone include a black-and-grey checkered keypad and camera shortcuts on the side, and a USB port that doubles as the headset and power connection — you can’t listen to music while charging the phone. It’s a rather petitie phone, too, measuring 95 x 48 x 15mm and weighing 83 grams.

While Motorola’s RAZR still manages to trigger ultra-thin fashion clones, LG has moved in a different direction with the Chocolate KG800, an understated and stylish mobile phone with a beguiling design twist.
