I went to Verizon, switching over from T-Mobile, to get the LG Chocolate I VX-8500. When I got there, they said it had been discontinued even though it was still on display, so I was talked into buying the Samsung u620, I told them I wanted the Chocolate, so they said that all they had was the all-new Chocolate II VX-8550, and it was better than the VX-8500 it replaced. I said OK and got it in Dark Blue for $149.99. It is OK, but in July of 2007, the screen broke and I got a new Chocolate II for $50.00, same color and all. I like this phone, but it is prone to scratching, and when I move the charger plug to a different outlet, I have to plug the smaller end back into the phone after unplugging it to charge it again. I am getting an early upgrade next month, but this phones even OK until May 2009, my annual 2-year upgrade.

Pros

call quality, speakerphone, lock switch, screen size, slider won't break easily, music store/player, fully-featured, great price, 4 colors (I chose Dark Blue), chrome around edges, slim and sleek, more

Cons

Charger port problems, screen cracks easily, just-OK battery life, it's no Juke, scratches easily, I need an upgrade, can't feel touch controls

I have had this phone since September 2007. It seemed exciting at first, but now I am sorta tired of it. The music player is great, and even for a cheap speaker, the sound is surprisingly outstanding. The keypad font is easy to read. But, I've had some problems with it since then, here they are:

 

-March 2008: Phone intermittingly shutt off, software update 3.0 installed.

-July 4, 2008: Cracked screen, sent back to LG, new phone for $50.00, contacts/pictures transferred

-August 23, 2008: Won't charge sometimes, charger sent back to LG, free new Home charger

 

I want an upgrade. This phone is OK, but if you don't mind maintenence, get this phone. If you hate maintenence, buy it.

 

 

Pros

VCAST Music/Video, GREAT Speaker/Speakerphone, GREAT Keypad font, GREAT text messaging capabilities, Get It Now, Scroll Wheel, Music Store, Apps Store, Slide-Up Design, Color, One-Piece Battery, GREAT Clarity, People Can Actually Hear Me, Quick To Charge, Touch-Sensitive Controls, RED Controls, Vibration Feedback, Too Much To Say

Cons

Bad Battery Life, High-Maintenence, Fingerprint Magnet, Charger Port, Slide Design, Screen Cracks Easily, Needs Frequent Software Updates, Too-Short Owner's Manual, Scratches Easily, My Fingers Are Too Big For The Buttons, Hard-To-Remove Battery, Touch-Sensitive Controls
