oh hah duh, thanks!

another question, would u be able to put a background picture on the front? these are all really minor details, but its the little things that keep me excited to keep the phone around for a while...

i come from using the vx8600 (the older flip chocolate, lol) only cuz there really hasnt been anything ive been interested in until now. the dare is the backup choice if the choc 3 doesnt turn out to be everything, hehe

thanks in advance. :)

[Anomalies]

The questions are no problem! haha

Jsut like I said, get them all out today, cause I'll be gone for a month after 6:30pm tonight!

Anyways, I'm going to copy and past what the chocolate3 manual says about how to change the wallpapers. It's cool, it says you can choose album art for your background in the main phone!

Anyways, the manual says:


5.3 Wallpaper - Allows you to choose the kind of background to be displayed on the phone's LCD in standby mode.

1. With the flip open, press OK[MENU].

2. Press Settings & Tools.

3. Press Display Settings.

4. Press Wallpaper.

5. Highlight a Wallpaper submenu and press OK.

--Main Wallpaper/ Front Wallpaper

---1. Main Wallpaper - My Pictures/ My Videos/ Fun Animations/ Album Art

---2. Front Wallpaper - My Pictures/ Fun Animations/ Visualizer

6. Select from available screens then press OK.

ive waited for a long time and i am so glad to hear this.

i cant wait, i hope its all it truly claims to be.

thanks so much for the answers. :)

[Anomalies]

No problem of course!

Choose LG from the manufacturers' drop down menu.

Watch it daily, once the chocolate3 guide is available for customers to see, it will be there first.

Since the phone is out on the 14th, it should be up within the next few days.

Any other questions you could think of?

[Anomalies]

ACTUALLY!
