horrible phone

31 Jul 2008 by doug

3.8 out of 10

4 of my friends have (had) this phone. 3 of them have completely snapped in half, the slider began to wiggle and just fell apart. All of my friends went through at least 2 of vx8500s. I am the only person I know of to still have their original chocolate for almost 2 years. The only thing i replaced was the battery. Never get this phone, thank god its discontinued. My touchpad takes 15 seconds to load with all of the buttons. It always calls the last person i talked to. Now I am finally eligible to upgrade and plan on getting the LG Dare.

What a Phone!

I dropped this phone down a waterfall (accidentally), then stepped on it a couple of time (accidentally) and various other accidents... and the phone still works great!! It is amazing, the buttons all work and are very responsive. I've never had any problems with this phone, I've never accidentally disconnected a call, but will ocassionally will push a wrong key on the pad because they are small. I wish the memory card capacity was higher than 2 gigs but it will do for now. I love this phone, and have had it for 2 years now. It is time for an upgrade, but I almost don't want to upgrade... almost!!

wow,

worst phone I've ever had. The screen would always become unlocked and it would call people all the time, WHILE IT WAS IN MY POCKET!!! the "wheel" thing sucked too. you had to push it maybe three or four times for it to work.

It played music really well though, so i thoght to let it just go,
but then the phone broke! It just kept turning off when I pushed the music button. So I got a new one from our insurance company. And then that one, the two sections came apart! and then the phone after that one, froze.

so three phones later, I got the Chocolate 2, much better phone.
