Save Your Money - - - Avoid This Phone

Date of Review:  May 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: Stay away from this phone, and all LG Chocolates. The only real Pros are its looks. You can find all of its features in many other better phones.
Review: I purchased this phone when it first came out. Let's just say it had very good marketing, and I just had to have it. Plus, it's release conveniently coincided with my "new every two" from Verizon Wireless.

To begin with I was pretty happy...

LG Chocolate: Choose a Different Phone

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't get this phone. Something is bound to break and you will be forced to purchase a new one. In this case, style doesn't beat reliability.
Review: In choosing a new phone I wanted something sleek, new, and innovative. I choose the chocolate because it possessed all of these qualities, and had all of the features I wanted in a phone (camera, video, texting, internet access, ringtones etc...)...

A waste of money

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't bother.  You'd be better with a phone that's not so chic and provides reliable service.
Review: I wish I had paid more attention to other reviews before I bought this phone.  It was available as a free phone from Verizon when we were eligible for a new phone.  There's a reason phones are given away for free: their old, something new is coming...

Voice Synthesizer Volume Problem

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2008
Review: While the Chocolate is attractive and I was able to learn to use it fairly rapidly it had a fatal defect at the design level. When one is using a bluetooth device and the phone says "Say a Command" the normal response is something like
"Call...

LG Chocolate VX8500

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2008
Review: A little over a month ago, I was due for a new phone under my Verizon plan. I had my options narrowed down to two phones, the Blackberry Pearl or the LG Chocolate. I went with the Chocolate because I had no need for the mandatory internet use that...

phone fits our family well!

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: This phone is easy to set up for the newer cell phone user. It sounds clear, works well and transports easlily
Review: My husband and I are new to using a cell phone with lots of options. We had always used the pre-paid cheaper phone, that is basiclly just used as a phone. We are actually quite happy with this phone. We are in our late 20's and having no problems...

The Chocolate

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great phone if you like music otherwise it's a little bit above average
Review: The chocolate by LG is one of the best music cellular phones out there. It had a music player which is very to use and understand. The music player has a built in theme-effect gig going on. With the theme-effect gig, you can add a Piano, Hip-hop,...

Don't be fooled by its appearance!

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this phone. You'll have to replace it multiple times, and it never worked well to begin with.
Review: The chocolate is the worst phone I've ever owned. I bought it in within the month that it was released, and was impressed by its sleek design and interesting shape. As c-net notes, the learning curve for using this phone is steep. The buttons are...

LG CHOCOLATE VX8500

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't get it. Its not comfortable.
Review: This phone is a complete waste of money. It may look cool on pictures but the phone itself is terrible. The first day that i got it, i could not wait to use it. By the second day one of my touch sensors did not work. The phone is not something that...

Great look Not so great on preformance

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2009
Review: I am on my second LG Chocolate and to be honest it is just ok.  It looks amazing but when it comes to the music player it freezes frequently.  It is also too sensative.  You wil mute incoming phone calls and not even realize it. 
Good if you...
