Most of us - when thinking about cell phones - think first at the usability factor and leave the good looks on the second place. But there are people that aren't thinking this way at all and I'm talking here about the LG team that has proven us, by releasing the Chocolate series, that good looks beat any other feature in the mind of today's mobile phone buyer (the huge sales that LG got with the Chocolates are the best witness on this subject). Rumors say that LG is going to live up to our expectations and it's going to release the Korean KV-6000 on the GSM networks under the name of LG KE800, so everybody can enjoy such a well crafted device.

The most impressive feature that this handset boasts is its gold or platinum layer that will surely leave lots of people breathless at the first glance. This luxury feature comes together with the very well known black glossy case that we have all seen at the Chocolate series mobile phones.

They have also implemented a Chocolate touch-sensor keypad, a 2 megapixel digital camera, a 256k colors main display, 128 MB of internal memory that can be expanded with the help of the microSD memory card slot, so you can have enough space to store all your favorite multimedia files that you can play on the built-in media player which comes with MP3, AAC, AAC+, AAC++ and WAV file formats support and, as the cherry on top of the cake, an FM receiver module.

On the connectivity side, the KE800 also looks pretty promising, being a GSM tri-band and working on 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks, with added data transfer power through EDGE and GPRS, and also with wireless Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

The future looks very promising and now we'll just have to wait and see if things are really going to stay this way.
