LG VX-8500-Chocolate Red Cell Phone User Reviews

Cons: If you slide it up and down a ot it will break in 2

Summary: I like my phone a lot but it is sort of hard to use sometimes, you will get the feel like after a week. very elagant and stylish. I really like it alot!!

Cons: The keys are way to small even for my small fingers, and it doesn't do much.

Summary: Okay, this was my first phone and i regret it. it is way to small to do anything with and the memory is slow. and battery life sucks.

Cons: You have to keep it charged frequently and it loads kinda slow sometimes.

Summary: Overall its a great phone for anyone. If you don't have an iPod you can use this to play your music and awake to it with an alarm! It's truly a well built phone. If anything, you kinda get tired of it after a while, but its still awesome.

Cons: breaks eaisly very flimsy

Summary: I've had the chocolate for about 18 months and i'm sick of it. I'm switchng to the enV 2, but i slid it up and down to much and it broke into 2 pieces. when i press the back button on the phone it starts dialing #84 the charge adapter where you put it in on the phone, broke off. You can change the sensitivity level of the touch pad but it is still eithr to sensitive or not sensitive enough. When you talk to someone on it your face touches the pad and it will go to different menus. Ths phone has terrible battery life and the speakers are not good at all. the phone isn't easy to use.The phone had good servie when i first got it and i could get service anywhere and after about two or three months it all went down hill. Overall this is terrible phone i would reccomend to not get it

Cons: Battery life just below average
Display malfunctioned after period of time.

Summary: The Chocolate is a new elegant look with a sliding keypad that is great. You can listen to music from your computer onto this cell phone. only problems encountered were battery life is not so great, and this is my 2nd chocolate phone because of the same display malfunction. Other than that, I would choose this phone over any Razor or touch screen phone.

Cons: Unfortunatly Not Going The Way Of The Symbian OS Like The Sony Ericksson. Flash or lack there of and needing to catch light from another source which can be a pain at times..

Summary: I dont know what everyone is complaining about, i go through approx. 5 phones a year at least if not more. This has to be the most functional phone i have had to date. Not to mention if you get a tad bit into the inner workings of your phone like i do myself (which is why i suspect i go through so many phones) get the USB adapter for it and BITPIM the hell outta that thing, modify applications, add new software etc... it makes the use of the phone alot more interesting. Just A Thought=]~

Cons: Calls numbers at random.
Flimsy.
Overly sensitive touch or not enough.
Hate this phone.

Summary: Too delicate - the battery charger jack came out of the phone. If you're checking voice mail, or talking to someone, your fingers are right on the side keys and it just starts going through menus while you're trying to carry on a conversation.
Just not meant to be used.

Cons: hard to use touch screen
slider feels like it is going to break
just a very delicate phone

Summary: Dont be fooled by the name "cherry chocolate"-this phone is not as sweet as it sounds.
The phone looks good ill tell you that much. The slider adds style to the phone as well as the large screen and the cool red cherry color just tops it off. Another good thing about this phone is you can use it either slid open, or shut. To use it shut, there is a lock feature since the phone has a touch screen on the outside. It is easy to unlock, simply press the outside buttons on the side of the phone either once or twice (depending on your settings). The last good thing about this phone is the music player. It has loud speakers. The music player is also easy to use. However, this phone has some bad features. When you slide the phone open, it almost feels like the top part is going to slide completely off. You could the say the phone is "delicate". Also, the top of the phone under the screen is a touch screen which i find extremely hard to control despite the setting changes you can make with the sensitivity. It is hard to manage with the touch screen because it is either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. I reccomend not getting the phone and getting a different phone even if it does cost more money. I would have bought a different phone if I knew just how bad the quality of this phone is.

Cons: Touch phone doesn't work correctly, battery life is terrible, keypad meant for very small fingers

Summary: 1. I got the phone 10 months ago and the battery no longer keeps a charge. I practice good battery life skills: mostly charged but will drain it once a month. I've had other phones that can keep a charge for years. This one didn't even make it a year. I'm needing to buy a new battery.

2. Depending on the environmental conditions, the phone will call all by itself. I will open it up and then it will either call the last person who I called or called me or it will call the first address in the contacts. I'm sure Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago, IL is getting sick of my phone calling them once a day without me knowing.

3. The whole touch thing takes a lot of getting used to and it's not worth it. My wife has buttons on her phone and now I have button envy.

4. The camera is almost impossible to whip out and get a fast photo. It just doesn't fit in your hand well.

5. I like the sliding feature and the GPS. The GPS system's not too bad for a phone.

6. I don't have huge fingers but I don't have twigs. It's very difficult for me to speed dial while holding down a button. It takes too long.

Please don't waste your $ on a chocolate phone. Just go get an iPhone.

Cons: memory sucks!!

Summary: The Green one I bought in March i had to get a new one in June and July and its Aug and i have to do it again. The phone's memory is crazy it doesnt hold as much as it should for all the features. now when i look at my pictures my phone cuts off and back on again. the previous two wouldnt come back on so i lost all my numbers, pictures, and ringtones...that sucks

Cons: touch screen can be kind of a pain
my vibrate seemed to stop working

Summary: Overall, i like this phone. I love how it comes in my favorite color...pink. I just dont like how the vibrate stopped working. It has a lot of internal memory which is cool. The music player has really good loud volume and sounds great... you can also change the setting depending on what style music you are listening to, in order to make it sound better!

Cons: OK button is TOO small, even for my little fingers. number pad is small. hard to open to use with one hand.

My phone started to vibrate really soflty then died out all together. I took it back to the store and they had to send me a new one. while i was there the other person in line had a chocolate. when i went back to get my info switched over the other two people also had chocolate with problems. now my BRAND NEW phone doesn't like to stay on. I am about to kill it. I am going t

Summary: It was great for the first month. It appears that this phone is unreliable. I am very dissapointed. (enough to write a review online!)

Cons: Camera has no flash. kind of hard to take a picture, if your hand isn't really steady, the picture will come out all warped. only complaint here is about the camera.

Summary: If you're using a mini sd card, make sure you transfer the files to the phone, if you don't, the battery life will drain because the phone will constantly read from the card. This is the reason why I think so many people are having complaints about the battery life. I use my phone very often and talk for at least and hour or more a day, i have gone 2 at least days without having to charge it.

Cons: barely ever works right. freezes all the time. battery dies FAST!

Summary: ive had my chocolate for about 5 months now. i loved it for the first 2 months. but the past 3 have been horrible. my battery dies extremely fast and i charge it every night. it randomly shuts off when im talking to someone. if im using it for more than 10minutes it shuts off and wont turn back on. i then have to take the battery out for about a half an hour. then when i put it back in if im lucky it will turn back on and over half the time it shuts back off as soon as i try to do something with it. it turned all my pictures into white screens and now if i even try to look at my pictures it restarts my phone. my contacts have randomly been deleted and it changes they names to weird symbols. it is hard to understand the person i am talking to because it either echoes or makes their voice crack. this phone is NOT worth your money. any other phone would be better than this one!

Cons: soft keys are a pain
expensive accessories needed to complete performance

Summary: I am so sorry I wasted my money and time on this phone. I truly wish I could just toss it, but I have not had it long enough to upgrade. HATE it with a the hugest HATE possible. Don't waste your money any phone is better.
