Perfection

19 Nov 2009 Suzanne

10 out of 10

I've had my phone for over a week and for the money the quality is excellent. Great sound, I have a 4mg SD. Can convert most of my itunes music to mp3 and download with UsB provided. Love the FM Radio. Did not even know it was on the phone. Touch Screen responds quickly and easy to dial without hitting wrong key. Have ordered a purple case to match
the purple back with a front panel.

Glad I waited until Nov to look for a phone.

Pros

Sound with headphones rivals my ipod, Good resolution, Has all
the features I want plus some for someone not into using the Internet
and email features

Cons

None so far

I Love This Phone!!!!!!

12 Nov 2009 touchreviewer12

10 out of 10

I had the LG Chocolate II (VX-8550) in Blue Mint when it first came out, and I wasn't really impressed with it at all. Then I got a touch screen phone and wasn't really impressed with it, exchanging it for 4 other of the same phone. For my upgrade, I chose the LG Chocolate Touch (VX-8575). It comes with 2 battery covers (I have the black one on right now), and the same physical sized screen as the LG enV Touch (VX-11000) with a little bit lower res. screen, but it doesn't bother me much. It also has a 3.2MP camera that takes great pictures and videos, as well as 1GB onboard dedicated space for music storage, as well as a slot for up to 8GB memory of a micro SD card (I have my 2GB SD card in there). It also has the same design as the LG Dare (VX-9700), which I love, and an excellent battery life plus Dolby Mobile and an FM radio with 3mm headset jack. It will also work the voice command/control system when it is plugged in. It also has the improved music player that allows you to play along with your tunes via either a bongo drumset or keyboard (piano). All in all, this is a GREAT phone, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great music phone with a touchscreen, or a current or previous LG Chocolate (any series) owner who wants to try it again. This is the best decision I've ever made on a cell phone.

Pros

Music player, touchscreen, camera/video recorder, storage space, 2 battery covers, great screen resolution, excellent battery life, soft touch and chrome finishes, asymmetrical design, too much to tell

Cons

Nothing at all

Incredible! Best phone I have ever had.

I had the EnV Touch for the last month. I returned it because it was just too bulky for me. Exchanging it for the Chocolate touch was the best phone decision I have ever made. This phone is small and powerful. The QWERTY keypad has spaces between the buttons that help reduce miss types. It is very accurate. Though the screen is not as high a resolution, it is surprisingly sharp and very vibrant. The music player is excellent. I used to get frustrated with my album art not showing up, but with this phone, if you put the album art in the photos folder on your SD card, when playing a song that doesn't have album art show up, you can manually put it as the album art. Also, the FM radio is another amazing feature. It comes through crystal clear. Drawing pad, note pad, better touch screen, incredible battery, very compact, no required data package; the list of positives of this phone go on and on. I have extensively used the EnV Touch, Versa, and DARE and I believe the Chocolate Touch is simply the best non PDA phone available for Verizon.

Pros

Can manage album art on it, Extremely long battery, touch QWERTY very accurate, tons of features, update EnV Touch software

Cons
