LG VX-8500-Chocolate cell phone, specs, user reviews, images, user manual, and more...

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.

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

Chocolate Review

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.
