LG Chocolate isn't for this chocoholic and phoneaholic.

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: I'm required to put in who the cell phone is best for and wanted to say no one.
Review: When we changed phone services I bought a Blackberry Curve 8330 and my husband got a free LG Chocolate VX8500. For a variety of reasons I have had, unfortunately, to use his cell phone. Why do I say unfortunately?

LG VX8500 Chocolate: As Its Moniker Would Suggest This Phone Is Bad For You

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Chocolate is bad for you. This one may not rot your teeth, but it won't work as a phone either.
Review: My fiance and I have been Verizon customers for years. We're both happy with the service and enjoy taking advantage of the "new every two" program. How could two tech geeks resist the prospect of a new handheld gadget every two years? Often we put a...

The LG Chocolate is a Girl's Best Friend

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this phone because I have had no problems with it, and love it!
Review: I am not going to lie to you, the ONLY reason I picked the LG VX8500 Chocolate phone in the first place was simply because I liked the way it looked-I did no research on it, I didn't know anything about what it's capabilities were, I simply thought...

The LG Chocolate (Verizon): They must hold their customers in contempt.

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Verizon and LG must hold their customers in contempt- this is a poorly engineered and executed pile of garbage that they both screwed up.
Review: Recently, my iPhone fell out of commission. While I was waiting for it to be replaced, I had an old beater GSM phone. For fun, a friend of mine offered to give me his lightly used LG Chocolate VX8500, as my iPhone was also my music player (and...

LG Chocolate vs. RAZR

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: This phone is quite user-friendly for the average cell phone user and is very easy to understand.
Review: I recently switched from the verizon RAZR to the chocolate. The battery life is MUCH better on the chocolate, but the RAZR is smaller. The LG chocolate also advertises its ability for you to put your music on the phone, but not only do you need a...

Cell Phone Nightmare!!

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: This product is a waste of your time and money!!!!!
Review: The LG Chocolate cellular phone is not worth a dime! When Verizon first came out with the new chocolate phones i couldn't wait to get one. But within a matter of days it was aparant that it was a complete waste of my money.

Durability of the Verizon LG VX8500 Chocolate, its superman in phone form

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2009
The Bottom Line:

People who use a phone all the time shouldn’t get a chocolate. if you don’t use it often it’s  ok. if you play sports its real light and won't break

Review: When I had gotten my phone I hadn’t really cared what phone I was going to get... my mom picked it out for me….. I had gotten a chocolate slide, the black one. At first all I wanted to do was play with my phone but I’m not allowed to play games or...

long lasting phone

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: I liked this phone very much and it lasted very long for my use. I would recommend it to anyone!
Review: I got this phone three years ago in replace of a crappy flip phone I had. It was a very nice phone and I was excited to get it. It had the slot for an extended memory card which you could store your music on. I used it a little bit for that, but I...

A poor excuse for an LG Phone

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: Avoid this model. It is plagued with problems and will only cause you headaches.
Review: When the LG Chocolate phones came out, I was extremely excited about their sleek design, yummy colors and the fact that it was an LG. I've been a firm LG believer for quite a number of years now, and this phone was meant to be my next escapade into...

The LG Chocolate's beauty is only skin deep

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this phone as it is hard to dial and Just annoys me all the time.
Review: When your mother told you Beauty is only skin deep she wasn't kidding. I originally bought this cell phone because it looked oh so cool and hip. It reminded me of an ipod and I just thought the style was very sleek. Well that's about the only thing...
