70%7out of 10
First of all i cant get service in my own house!!!! Thats retarded because every one else in my house has verizon and gets service. Second of all when did it become ok for calls to drop . Third, one day the circle button on the front just randomly fell off. WHAT THE HECK!!! Fourth, it snapped in half.....and i haven't done anything to it. My screen is now disconnected from the keypad. And now i cant text because my phone broke. The weird part: the kepad still works ( the battery is still is shape) Fifth, It shuts off by itself when im talking to my friends. And it doesnt charge. one minute ill look at it and it will say four bars....i turn around for two seconds look back and the battery is low.
I HATE THIS PHONE and i am patiently waiting for my time of upgrade.....November Ninth

I don't know what half of you are talking about this phone is great! I have had my phone for almost 7 months and it hasnt freezed on me. Sure the front screen is a little scratched but thats because I'm a clumsy person and i drop it, so people if you don't drop it you won't have any problems with scratches! The keypad is excellent! it's very sleek and you can move you fingers across it for faster texting, sure there might be a little finger print problem but it doesnt bother me too much.I love this phone and I think you should be patient if theres one little glitch and not go running to Verizon saying this phone sucks like a lot of other people have.
great keypad
easy to handle
you can view pictures,texts,music,calendar, and take pics from the front
good calling qualitya little scratching problem

I have had this phone for not even 6 months. It was good in the beginning but now it is to the point I have no reception in my house at all. My boyfriend and sister do, and we are all Verizon customers. When I close the phone it makes this annoying high pitch buzzing noise. It drops calls, incomming calls go straight to voicemail. the phone randomly shuts off sometimes in the middle of a text or call! the reception is horrible I have to go outside to send a message or to talk on the phone, thats even getting worse. The newest thing is my battery it will be fully charged, I'll send a message and it will say low battery. then I'll look again and it will be fully charged. I can have my phone on silence all, and it will still ring, and it won't viberate, or it will have one very looooong vibration. my mom was having similar problems with the same phone. (we got them on the same day) they replaced hers and not mine....needless to stay it still has issues. this phone is not a good investment, they are on sale again and i would not reccomend it at all!!!
cute and sleekeverything else

I have had this phone oever one year. I have had to swap it out 4 times for the same problem. I like the phone in general, the color, the size, and the userbility. However, when I first got the hone the calculator worked fine. Now it doesn't work at all. The phone shuts off whenever it feels like it. It becomes very annoying after a while. I'm going to move up to a blackberry. Good luck everyone, I hope all you owners of the chocolate 3 don't have the problems I have had.
sleek, nice color (blue) easy to navigate around keys and other features, size is right.shuts off whenever it feels like. (I never turn my phone off) The calculator doesn't work and I need it very often.

Alright so i used to have the Chocolate 2 but it started acting retarded so i called Verizon and they sent me out a Chocolate 3 to replace it. I loved the phone at first, it is a great phone. It fits well in your hand and is a good all around phone... for a while. After about a month it started shutting down and turning back on randomly throughout the day. It would do it maybe once a day and slowly got worse to 10 maybe 15 times a day!! Now it is sitting on my bedside table... turned off... it won't turn on at all!!! It goes to the Verizon screen then freezes or it turns on, goes to my home screen, then shuts immediately upon me pushing a button. This phone is totally not worth its hype. I loved it but now it won't turn on. Now i have to call Verizon and get a different phone... Yay customer service =/

6. GREAT PHONE!!!!

I got the LG Chocolate 3 for Christmas this year, and I can tell you I wouldn't be any happier with any other phone. Here are some of the things I enjoy about this phone.
- It is a very slick phone. Fits into my pocket nicely, and looks really nice
- It never fails: I have seen reviews that people say it always messes up while texting. I can say I have never had this problem. I have only seen it freeze up once and that's when I was taking pictures and I was receiving a picture message.
- The Keypad: The key pad is a really good size. Almost impossible to hit the wrong key.
- Dual Screen: There are two screens on the LG C3. The main screen you see when the phone is flipped open and the front screen that you see when the phone is closed. I like that you can view your text from the front screen instead of having to open you phone like a lot of phones. You can also view your photos, music, calender, and your camera from the front screen.
- The Spinner: I didn't know exactly what to call it but if the Chocolate 2 had the same thing. It is located on the front of the phone and it spins around kinda like a Ipod and you use it to scroll through your front menu screen. It comes in handy for viewing your images on the front screen and viewing text.
- MP3: The MP3 player on the LG C3 is great. Has great sound quality through the speaker and you can also hook up your ear phones to it. It has 1GB of space just for the music player and if you have a SD card you can store even more. You can listen to your mp3 player with the phone opened or closed.
- FM Transmitter: The LG C3 comes with a built in FM transmitter. If you don't know what that is, a FM transmitter allows you to play your music on your MP3 player on your car stereo or any radio with FM. I thought it was pretty cool it came with that, and the quality ant to bad.
- Camera: Has a nice 2.0 MP camera. Most phones are a 1.3MP. If you close the phone you can use the front screen to take self portraits.
- The Front: I see in a lot of reviews of the LG C3 that the front screen scratches easy. Mine hasnt scratched yet but I am very careful with my phone. I guess if you are ruff with your phones the LG C3 wont be the best for you. The front screen is very shiny and very fancy looking.
- Performance: The all and all performance of the phone is great. It is very fast, the call quality is great, the battery is really good.
Here is a few features that the LG C3 has:
- MP3
- Calculator
- Tip Calculator
- Calender
- Blue tooth compatible
- 2.0 MP Camera
- SD Slot up to 8GB
- Alarm Clock
- World Clock
- You can use it as a USB drive
- It comes with a cord to hook up to your computer.
- The front screen locks automatically so you don't press buttons by accident.
That's about all I have to say about the LG Chocolate 3. I havnt really had any problems with it. I would recommend this phone to anybody. If you have any questions about this phone, feel free to email me.
Thanks,
Jeff

I've had this phone since October and so far it's been nothing but great. the sound quality is really good. I've taken it many places and have never had any issues with signal. My only grip is that the front display can scratch pretty easily...
great speaker
good battery life
front display functions
slim
Finger print magnet

I first bought the chocolater 3 in October of 2008 and as of today march 17,2009 im on my 4th (3blue and 1 black) LG chocolate 3 and about ready to go get another. I keep taking back for the reason of restarting while in the middle of a phone call or recieving a text message or just checking the time. In addition the phone would make a loud beep nosie when closing the flip after a phone call. When i went back the last time Verizon offered to give me a different model, but i told the guy the chocolate 3 was the only model i like thats out right now. Well today the phone decided to reset itselfs and not read the micro card so none of my pictures were coming up. So when i turned it off and back on it froze at the verizon screen and i let it sit about 2 hours and no change. So i took the battery out and it did the same thing again and after about and hour of leaving the battery out it finally came back up. I think now it is time to change my mind and break down and get a new model. I dont recommend the phone the only real good think going for it is the FM transmitter and i think thats why i cant get away from it.

I loved my phone for the most part, except the whole "scratches easily" should be taken with extreme caution. this morning, after NO drops but a few scratches from my keys and purse belongings, half of my screen went black (the front screen). Now i'm seeing green and red lines on the side, & the color is changing. it's getting worse by the minute. I'm going to verizon and DEMANDING a new phone- they PROMISED this phone was excellent- little did I know. The flip part is actually starting to feel a little loose, and the turnwheel on the front scratches SO easily and doesn't respond half of the time. When I transfer songs, sometimes it will only transfer HALF! I love the fact that it's a music player, but this is OUTRAGEOUS. The phone SIMPLY will not last. Wait for a later version, folks.
music player, camera, T9 Word, color, front screen displaySTUPID SCRATCHES, BROKEN SCREEN, HORRIBLE!
