Summary: Don't buy! Seems cool, but NOT great!
Comment: I bought this phone and immediately noticed that the sound quality of my voice was poor based on people on the other end of the line constantly saying "Huh? What? You went out? or "I can't hear you!" I believe this is bc of the flat area around the phone speaker. Sound diffuses everywhere vs. into the phone speaker. Also, I the screen gets filthly every easily. If you are a woman and wear make up, it will be ALL OVER the screen after one use. Lastly, owned this phone for about 5mons. It no longer works right. Poorly made phone imo. There are better ones out there--stay away from this one.

Summary: Worst Phone Ever!
Comment: DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!!!
This is the worst phone I have ever had. When I first got it (day one)it sounded like you are talking through a muffled blanket and the person on the other end can never hear you due to the poor sound quality and poor microphone. I have had my phone serviced and replaced three times due to malfunction of the microphone and the touch keys. I have had this phone for about a year and if you get it with a two year contract you will get screwed since it will not last you two years and the warrenty only last a year. I just recently passed my one year mark and my touch screen stopped working once again, and my mircophone has completely died. No one can hear me on the other end but I can hear them only. This is the worst phone I have ever had. Please be advised, do not purchase this phone.

Summary: Yall R Crazy I Love This Phone!!!
Comment: IS it 100% perfect No...
But LG listened to the peoples complaints about the 1st chocolate and fixed a lot of the issues. I love the scroll wheel. and all the new features. It is better than most phones and EVEN THE I-PHONE! All the I-Phone has is the stupid touch screen cuz this phone has lots of features the IPHONE doesn't.
One issue for me was the CLR button gets in the way sometimes other than that I didn't have problems moving songs onto the phone and YOU CAN DRAG & DROP!!

Summary: Chocolate sucks!
Comment: I wish I read these reviews before buying this phone.
Yes, it's pretty but the it's a pain in the a** to use!
As others have pointed out, the scroll wheel is way too sensitive even on "low" setting. If you make a call and have to dial an extension or if you have to make menu selections i.e. "press 1" "press 0 to call the operator", the touch screen turns and you get some random menu selection. It's thinking you're trying to do something else by pressing numbers after you call a number.
You CAN turn the touch off after making a call by using the Lock feature. BUT, this feature turns back on when you dial extensions or enter numbers after placing calls. It's annoying having to hit lock every single time I want to do something.
Oh! and FORGET about taking fun pictures of yourself with friends!
When you try to take your own picture by flipping the phone around the touch pad turns on. So you have to make sure you ONLY touch the center of the phone. If your finger touches any other part, the super sensitive touch feature goes into a menu. You can't even use the "Lock" feature to turn off touch for camera. Annoying.
Oh, and the texting! What's the deal with no symbols? If i want to add an exclamation point or dollar sign I have to go into some symbol menu to add it to my text. Huh?
I returned this phone after a few days of use. When I returned my phone there was another customer returning his chocolate too!
This chocolate will leave a bitter taste in your mouth!
Wow, that was cheesy. Ok, I'm done.

Summary: Returning to Verizon
Comment: I'd just like to echo the points made above:
1) The scroll wheel is difficult to use and inefficient.
2) When you make/receive a call and your cheek hits the phone, the touch buttons activate, which can sometimes prohibit using the keypad until you figure out a way to get out of the menu.
3) The face of the phone scratches easily even when you are very, very careful.
4) The voice activated calling is a disaster and almost never calls the right person.
The phone is on its way back to Verizon today for something different.

Slimmer, lighter and sweeter than ever, LG updates its Chocolate slider phone to the VX8550 with improvements including a new metal navigation wheel (which traces your finger's movement with a small light), vibrating touch keypad, and the ability to run the music player in the background while using the other features of the phone. But many of the much vaunted features of the original Chocolate remain: silky-smooth slider design support for V Cast Music, an integrated music/video player, a 1.3 megapixel camera/camcorder, stereo Bluetooth capabilities, and a microSD memory slot for up to 4 GB of storage. In addition to Verizon's V Cast Music feature, this phone is also enabled with the Get It Now service, which allows you to easily download ringtones, games, and applications. It runs on Verizon's CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies and EV-DO high-speed data network. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) Imaging and Entertainment
