What is it: Clamshell version of the Chocolate phone with HSDPA (3.5G) connectivity
What we think: Another luxurious offering from LG that oozes style but it's a shame there's no expandable memory slot

We like:
HSDPA connectivity; glossy front section; stereo Bluetooth; audio quality during calls; keypad

Lack of expandable memory; external music controls can be fiddly to use
CNET UK judgement:
LG's U830 looks almost identical to the stylish LG KG810 from the outside, but on the inside it's got HSDPA (3.5G) connectivity giving you high-speed Web access on the go. Our only niggles are the fiddly touch-sensitive music buttons and the lack of expandable memory
