Published on: 26 June, 2006 by Nanko Rusev, Crossblade

Back in May, we reported about the latest phone manufactured from LG to be part of the Verizon line of high-end phones the VX8500. The only photo available at that time was of low quality and even we were not sure if it will be a slider or a clamshell. However, the latest information and images show that the VX8500 is a black glossy slider, part of the Chocolate line. On the upper part of the phone, it has a large navigation key, similar to the one used in the iPOD music players. Similar to the European Chocolate, the VX8500's keypad will be flat in surface for keeping it slim, and the black color of the housing will be combined with white and vivid red.

There is no official date for launching the phone as neither Verizon nor LG have announced it, but some rumors say it will start shipping on Oct 7 this year, as this is the date that the phone on the images displays.

THE WORST PHONE AVAILABLE

Last Sept '06, I bought the Chocolate. Like everyone else, I LOVED MY NEW CHOCOLATE PHONE!!!" That was short lived. Within a week the display screen died. It was llieing on my nitestand when I heard it power-up. I grabbed it to see what heck was going on and that's when I noticed the screen was completely white & not a single thing on it. I called VZW and they replace it new. Actually 3 of them in 3 months. It would have been 4 but I had them just deactivate it instead. They would only replace it with another Chocolate. So I had them reactivate an old one I found that I upgraded from. A buddy of mine also had exchanged 3 ChocoFones because they wouldn't hold a charge.

Verizon is not a good company because if it were any other company i bet it wouldn't have done that.My phone did that once and wouldn't come back on and they made us pay to replace it with the same ugly phone and it still doesn't work that good the outer screen won't show.So it's probably not the phone as much as it is the company trying to get all of the money out of you as they can...Verizon isn't the best network in my opinion Alltel is.

retards

ok listen up, verizon is just a carrier of the LG phones first of all. second of all verizon asks politely everytime if they would like the optional insurance and most people say know even when they should know they are hard on their phones. Also with the wont hold a charge thing. The razor and many new phones and ipods are having that problem because of defective powerstrips bough from the same company, i mean it doesnt take 400 companys to manufacture power ribbons and when a buttload get ruined at an inconvenient time it makes a bad name on the product
