LG VX8500 is Verizon's Chocolate phone
Share:
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.

 LG VX-8500 Chocolate Phone |
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.

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.

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

This phone s*** A**. i have it and i have had 3 of them because they just stop working. on the one that i have right now, none of the touch screen bottons work so you cant call anyone. i am going to be getting a new free one soon but i am not exactly thrilled... because the phone is terrible. i must admit, that it is cute, but it doesnt work as well as it looks.

I got my strawberry chocolate as an upgrade from my old phone. There are some things i love about it, but others i hate. I love the fact that it looks nice and also it's very easy to use. It has alot of cool features, ecspecially if you take advantage of the mp3 player. I love the high quality pictures and vidoes it takes. I hate that it calls random people, and sometimes deletes my contacts. The buttons on the front are so sensitive that when i'm talking on the phone my cheek will brush up against them and start erasing things. You just have to be very careful. Whatever you do, don't drop it and get a plastic shield for the screen.

This phone makes me long for the days of my very first cell phone. Is not durable, it is very sensitive to humidity/water damage. I have the newest version (third chocolate I have had in 4 months) and it just isn't designed well. Each time you press a key on the side or on the number pad you have to wait 5 seconds before putting it up to your face. If you don't wait your face will trigger annoying screens to pop up with an accompanying beep. Once this screen pops up you cannot press any keys, you have to repeatedly press the "back" button. As soon as my contract is up I am leaving this company. I had to go postal in the store (literally) to get a new chocolate. It turns out I needed a seminar on how to use it due to poor design. No one offered me the info. until I was picking up my third phone. Each time I went in I was met with smart alec confrontational sales people (manager and associates). I'd still have the original phone had they let me know about the design flaw and how to navigate it. KEEP yours dry!! if the sensor inside is pink it voids the warranty even if it is a design flaw.

I've had my chocolate 3 months. I tried 2 batteries and am on my second phone. Sitting idle, no usage, the phone will not hold a charge for longer than 24-36 hours.
