LG VX 8500 RedThe display on the Chocolate phone is very decent. The display is 176x 220 pixels and is capable of displaying 256k colors. When you take pictures on the phone the viewfinder does not display them properly on the phone display. It seems that when you save the picture or later view it on the computer it seems wider than it did in the viewfinder. Overall he display does a fine job in displaying various colors. 

Although the Chocolate phone is meant to be an mp3 phone, it does lack some key features. In my opinion the most annoying part is that the when you are listening to music and receive a call the music does not resume after the call is ended, instead the song starts from the beginning. Another annoyance is that you can not multitask while listening to music. When you are in the music player you can not exit without the music still playing. The Chocolate phone does not have stereo over Bluetooth built in, but should have in order to make a better music phone. The Chocolate phone also does not have expandable memory, so you can not load up songs via expandable memory.
