I got my chocolate, and was very happy at first but overall i noticed several disapiontments-
>pieces fell off
>my screen contently frooze
>disapionted by some of the features that i thought were going to be amazing.
>charger sucked horribly.

However,my friend had the phone and hers never had problems at all, I tried it out and it seemed to be much more better then mine. Sorry,but I'm not going to recomend it, I'm probly going to buy the Dare now. I think that phone seems to be a better chioce but it is really pricey. So, if you can't get the Dare get this but if you can get the Dare get that

I hate it

I had the old chocolate and it broke so many times that verizon was nice enough to switch it with the new chocolate. The new one isnt as bad but it still isnt worth the money. It works wonderful for about a month then you start having problems. I am in a verizon store about every week or two. I am a teenager so i understand that I can be kind of ruff with phones but I have never had any problems with phones until now.

Good phone

I really like the way that this phone looks, when i got it, it had only been out for about a day or two so there were no reviews of it yet, so i kinda bought it just for looks.

Pros:
good design

great sound quality

pretty good camera

probably the best phone for music on verizon

Cons:
scratches VERY VERY easy

sometimes the touch sensitive buttons start acting weired on me.

Over all a great phone, but i have had a few problems with it, it was just shutting off randomly by itslef but i took it into the verizon store and they fixed it for free. And now sometimes when i answer a call it just hang up by itslef after 1 second. Besides that im happy with it , it is much better that my old phone ( a Motorola v276 ), but looking back i kinda wish i would have gotten the enV instead, but im still happy with this.
