LG U830 3G Phone
The U830 is the follow up to the original LG Chocolate, the KG800. That phone’s slider format has been replaced by a flip design, but still has the black and silver colouring and touch control buttons for music playback.
The LG U830 is a 3G handset and it supports HSDPA. As a flip phone the LG U830 does itself no favours by being somewhat large in its closed position. It is 49mm wide both opened and closed, 98mm tall when closed. When you flip it up that 98mm becomes 180mm, which is pretty sizeable.
The camera has also been hiked from 1.3 megapixels to a more respectable two and despite occasionally suffering from over exposure, the photo quality is decent enough.
Internal memory has been given a welcome boost, but LG has again neglected to include a memory card slot. The rise from 128MB to 180MB is encouraging, but this still limits the potential of the music player. 180MB won’t hold many tunes and don’t forget you will have to share this with other multimedia gubbins.
Still, the U830 comes packed with music functionality including A2DP support and a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. However, it does feel like a wasted opportunity, especially as you have 3’s extensive music store on hand for full-track downloads.
The U830 plays out much like the KG810 with a keypad that’s festooned with shortcuts galore, including access to profile setting, mobile TV, contacts, messaging, video calling and the 3 music store. And it’s straightforward to use.
