    Pros: Slim, sleek, FM transmitter, 3.5 mm headphone jack

    Cons: Slower browser, no flash

    Summary: I owned the LG Voyager for a good 29 days and decided to trade it in due mainly to the touch screen and the slight delay the phone seemed to have.

    So far, I'm pretty impressed by the Chocolate 3. I love the 1 GB memory for music. The FM transmitter has pretty good quality, there are a few times when it's fuzzy but that's what you get with most transmitters. Putting music on the phone is straightforward and fast. I have not used Rhapsody and I don't plan on adding another $15 to my plan.
    One neat feature about this phone is Dashboard. It's fast and easy to use. The one channel I use the most is definitely Weather.
    Call quality and reception is fine, no problems with that. Texting is good, just took a little getting used to coming from the Voyager but now it's easy as ever. Battery life is definitely better than the Voyager, I charge it every few days.
    The menus are a lot more customizable and user-friendly than most Verizon phones. There are 4 display themes and lots of ringtones. The front screen, "click-wheel", all great, especially for viewing texts and controlling the music.
    VCast Videos has decent quality.

    Basically my only complaint so far about the phone is the browser-that isn't comparable with the Voyager. If you want a phone with a fast and easy to use browser, you may want to think twice about this phone. It's not slow but isn't 3G, and typing into a website can sometimes be difficult.

    Otherwise it's an easy to use phone with plenty of features. Any questions? Just ask.

    Quick question... how does the Chocolate 3 organize texts? Is there the option to organize them by conversation? I'm extremely interested in this phone, but I am mainly putting it on hold because I don't want to have another phone that organizes texts just by Inbox and Outbox. Thanks in advance!

    I agree. i personally think the chocolate 3 is wonderful. it does everything i want a phone to do and i think it is ALOT better than its predacessors. especially the original chocolate! that thing was junk! it completely tore up on me. thats why i hace the chocolate 3 now. the chocolate 2 was ok. i had that one too. i loved it and it was alot better than the original but i screwed up when i traded it to my bestfriend for her pink original chocolate. however, the chocolate 3 is way better than both of them!

    reply to utjsh83, keylock does need to be used, and comes on automatically when the phone is closed

    Do you have to use the keylock to keep it from pressing buttons when it is in your pocket? Thanks!
