The much ballyhooed touch sensitive controls on the VX8500 Chocolate are high on my list of the Chocolate's greatest failings. While the sensitivity level can be adjusted, it is far too easy to double hit a key or have what you thought was a keypress be ignored completely. The 5-way d-pad controller, the two softkeys, the call send button (which is not green on the Chocolate), and the dedicated back button all make use of this system, and all are infuriating. These controls literally had me swearing when I was working with the phone.
The numeric keypad that is exposed when the device is open, however, is very nice. The 1.3 megapixel camera on the back, and its self-portrait mirror, are also exposed when the Chocolate is opened up. The microSD memory card slot and power/headset port both have attached covers that work pretty well. The ringtone speaker is located on the back of the device, and is aided by a few plastic nubs that keep it from resting directly on the surface of a desk or table, ensuring that it can be heard.
The overall build quality of the LG VX8500 Chocolate is superb. There are no creaks anywhere, the spring loaded slider mechanism works flawlessly, and the finish is perfect. But a good looking design does not a good mobile phone make, as sad as that may be.

It's a new phone by LG(formerly GoldStar) which packs all the usual features- mp3,etc.
Adds something new to the "Candy-bar" genre, no pun intended.
It has a luscious Black-Brown colour scheme with a red tinge and is priced somewhat highly, it's ok as a fashion accessory but there are better things out there.
Hope this helps!

A chocolate phone is simply a cell phone, mp3 player and such put together. It is brought to you by LG. They are very expensive but worth it. Good Luck.

the strawberry chocolate is the older one. The newer red one is black cherry. You should get that if any at all. Chocolate is a better phone, also. If you just want a cheap one, get the juke.
