Update: $129 after rebate with two-year contract, available Sunday July 13 The heat's getting to me, but I still managed to unbox the LG Chocolate 3 for Verizon Wireless. LG went from slider to flip for this latest Chocolate, and VZW threw in support for Rhapsody music subscriptions. Check it out ... and don't hold me accountable for my not-funny jokes.

Saturday, August 23, 2008The worst and dumbest thing about this LG C3 phone is that you CAN NOT access and dial your contacts from the front display using the wheel while you are using BlueTooth. How dumb is that?

Sunday, July 20, 2008Noah can you do another review showing us things like how well or not the FM transmitter works. That's something I could get alot of use out of in the car. And was wondering how well the music sounds in the car.

Hands-On: Unboxing Verizon's LG Chocolate 3

At any rate, the UPS man showed up this morning with LG's new Chocolate 3 for Verizon and we've got pics here and a video on the way.
