im thinking about getting the white chocolate unlocked GSM phone
and ive heard good and bad things about it
the problem is, its almost evenly split with the critisims
50% like it, 50% dont
so i was wondering, i plan on buying it tomorrow afternoon
although it does not have a memory slot
is it still worth buying?
if you have one, or know someone who has one what do they think??

thanks

i personally like the chocolate. i have the black one and i enjoy using the touchpad. it sucks that the korean one doesnt have a memory slot as you mentioned.

hmm this might be a bit late but i would say dont get it

why?

cause everyone is gonna have it...just like the razor
as well, if u resell it back out? the value is low because this phone is known to have many problems.
ive been trying to sell my chocolate for the past 2 months and no one wants it and the values going down sad.gif

Well what everybody has is the Verizon version, not the GSM/Korean version. My friend has a white choco(GSM version) and everybody is asking where in the world he got it from at my school, lol. I'm pretty sure he's the only one who has a GSM version of the choco at my school besides this other Korean dude I know... But yeah, my school is huge, so he gets a lot of attention when he takes it out.

The phone isn't worth it at all unless you got it for free. If you're just in for the looks, then it might as well be a waste of money to buy something just because it looks pretty.

I suggest you to buy phones base on it's features and what it has to offer rather than looks.

Get it. Why are you worrying so much about memory expansion? Are you planning to use it as your main mp3 player? It wasn't really marketed to be that way, but Verizon showed off its version as a music player.

I say it's only for looks. So, if you are a fashion type of person and MUST HAVE all the cool looking stuff, then get it.

if u want a full featured phone i say skip the chocolate

pros
1. it looks clean and nice, can be a fashion statement (according to this one salesperson)

cons
1. 1.3 megapixel camera. thts pretty outdated in present terms
2. i personally dont like the touch buttons.. some ppl have no problem with it though


why dont u try a chocolate phoen out first... like try one of your friends or maybe a store tht has one.
itll make it alot easier to decide


oh and its true tht many ppl mite have the chocolate phone.. but if u really like the phoen it shouldnt stop u from gettin one.
look at the ipod... eveyrone has it. its not stoppin ppl from gettin something else :"]

i dont really like it.

it looks nice but its scratch heaven.


plus spec wise, its pretty outdated already. if you're going to spend money, at least find one that is relatively modern.

I got it a while back in pink
At first, the looks of the phone won me over (it looks really sleek n shiny!)
but i should've checked out the specs...the camera isnt too bad though, but if you wanted a good quality camera invest in a digital camera...
but the phone REALLY LAGS A LOT and its annoyin me so bad
typing a msg takes SO long and sometimes when you press back it freezes? i dont know why
maybe its just my phone...also it gets finger smudges and scratches really easily...and to answer your question you cant expand the memory

it IS an attention seeking phone..everyone always wants 2 play with it and theyre like "oh its got a touch pad!"

....its a unique phone and like any phone it has its pros and cons
but yeah its up to you really...

(im might be a bit late with this reply)

i have the white one and its ok. the battery life sucks alot though. i charged my phone until it said fully charged, but it died after 6-7 hours. the touch pad is cool, but sometimes when you touch it, it doesnt work or takes to long. in my opinion, the white one is better than the black because you can see all the nasty fingerprints on the black one.

Does the American/Korean one share the same model name KG800? Or is the American one the TG800? (with the round thing touchpad) ?

not many people in the us will have it so that's a plus. the people in us only have the ugly verizon one (gag). as others have said it's not really a feature filled phone. it's just a phone that looks pretty. i think it depends on what type of person you are. if you are one of those people who needs a phone for it's features then i say don't get the chocolate but if you just want a sleek phone then get it. also, depends on how much you can get it for.
