LG VX-8500-Chocolate Cell Phone
The LG chocolate phone was made and released for Valentines Day, hence the name Chocolate phone. The phone got very famous quite fast because of the design and futuristic look. Although the LG chocolate phone is more famous, the Samsung E900 is a direct competitor, but which is better for you? Even though the phone is called chocolate, it sure doesn’t taste like it!!
The LG chocolate is a slider phone and when open it reveals the keypad. The best part of the phone is the touch sensitive buttons. When the phone is on standby the lights of the buttons are off so you cannot see them. When lit they have a red backlight which looks cool, but also very annoying at times!!
Sometimes when you are going through the menu you accidentally press the wrong button because the side of your finger brushed the touch sensitive button. Even more annoying, the touch sensitive buttons freeze at times and you have to pull out the battery to fix the issue. This happened to me once so far but I have heard of others having the same issue. Overall the design of the phone is cool and many people prefer looks over functions.
A new version of the chocolate phone has been released too. The new version has the exact same specs but is in pearl white color. The price is a little more than the original chocolate phone but is worth the extra buck.
Read full review » It’s that time of the year again when we all try to find that perfect gift for that special someone. With all of the major carriers offering either a new red or pink version of their most popular models a new cell phone may just be a good alternative (or addition) to the standard heart shaped chocolates and two dozen roses that we’ve all come to expect.
Below is a list of the latest cell phone releases geared towards the Valentines Day... Did you guess the iPhone or maybe the Chocolate by LG? Both would seem likely contenders to take the top spot, but unfortunately they didn’t even make the top three!The infamous Motorola Razr V3, yes the original version out sold all other consumer models to take the top spot for the third quarter. Part of its staying power has to be attributed to the fact most of the carriers offer the V3 for free with new service.
Motorola actually faired... Reports have surfaced that Verizon will be selling the LG VX8550 music phone staring July 9, at a price of $99 with a two-year service agreement.

1. Motorola K1 KRZR - Verizon/Alltel CDMA (K1m) and Unlocked GSM (K1)The successor to the RAZR is taller, curvier, and gentler to the touch. Where the RAZR was all about hard edges, the KRZR's built on... Pros: Its very easy to use and has great service 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!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: It's cute, small, and slim with a comfterble feel to it. 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. Pros: it fits in your pocket really well and it's easy to use. It has a perfect size and plays music perfectly through a really small speaker. 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. Pros: style and big screen 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 Pros: Easy Use, portable, great multiple function. 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. 9 out of 15 people found this review helpful This is Keith Mayer from South Dakota. If you have the 1st chocolate cell phone then you are in luck, this trick should only be done if you know a lot about phones, I almost messed up my friends by doing this. Ok, so you go to the menu. then just press 0, 7time.(ex. 0000000) a little screen should come up that have 7 question marks. You then can change just about anything on your phone. BUT I REPEAT, DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO MESS UP... Hey could you please do a review on the LG Chocolate VX 8550? I have been trying to decide on which phone I want to buy, but I'm not sure and your review would greatly help me with the decision. I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure others would, too!
