long lasting phone

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: I liked this phone very much and it lasted very long for my use. I would recommend it to anyone!
Review: I got this phone three years ago in replace of a crappy flip phone I had. It was a very nice phone and I was excited to get it. It had the slot for an extended memory card which you could store your music on. I used it a little bit for that, but I...

LG CHOCOLATE VX8500

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't get it. Its not comfortable.
Review: This phone is a complete waste of money. It may look cool on pictures but the phone itself is terrible. The first day that i got it, i could not wait to use it. By the second day one of my touch sensors did not work. The phone is not something that...

A poor excuse for an LG Phone

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: Avoid this model. It is plagued with problems and will only cause you headaches.
Review: When the LG Chocolate phones came out, I was extremely excited about their sleek design, yummy colors and the fact that it was an LG. I've been a firm LG believer for quite a number of years now, and this phone was meant to be my next escapade into...

The LG Chocolate's beauty is only skin deep

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this phone as it is hard to dial and Just annoys me all the time.
Review: When your mother told you Beauty is only skin deep she wasn't kidding. I originally bought this cell phone because it looked oh so cool and hip. It reminded me of an ipod and I just thought the style was very sleek. Well that's about the only thing...

Voice Synthesizer Volume Problem

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2008
Review: While the Chocolate is attractive and I was able to learn to use it fairly rapidly it had a fatal defect at the design level. When one is using a bluetooth device and the phone says "Say a Command" the normal response is something like
"Call...

The Bottom Line: This phone is easy to set up for the newer cell phone user. It sounds clear, works well and transports easlily
Review: My husband and I are new to using a cell phone with lots of options. We had always used the pre-paid cheaper phone, that is basiclly just used as a phone. We are actually quite happy with this phone. We are in our late 20's and having no problems...

LG VX8500 Chocolate: As Its Moniker Would Suggest This Phone Is Bad For You

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Chocolate is bad for you. This one may not rot your teeth, but it won't work as a phone either.
Review: My fiance and I have been Verizon customers for years. We're both happy with the service and enjoy taking advantage of the "new every two" program. How could two tech geeks resist the prospect of a new handheld gadget every two years? Often we put a...

The LG Chocolate (Verizon): They must hold their customers in contempt.

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Verizon and LG must hold their customers in contempt- this is a poorly engineered and executed pile of garbage that they both screwed up.
Review: Recently, my iPhone fell out of commission. While I was waiting for it to be replaced, I had an old beater GSM phone. For fun, a friend of mine offered to give me his lightly used LG Chocolate VX8500, as my iPhone was also my music player (and...

LG Chocolate VX8500

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2008
Review: A little over a month ago, I was due for a new phone under my Verizon plan. I had my options narrowed down to two phones, the Blackberry Pearl or the LG Chocolate. I went with the Chocolate because I had no need for the mandatory internet use that...

Great look Not so great on preformance

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2009
Review: I am on my second LG Chocolate and to be honest it is just ok. It looks amazing but when it comes to the music player it freezes frequently. It is also too sensative. You wil mute incoming phone calls and not even realize it.
Good if you want...
