"Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to hard to do!" on by sdlawhon
Pros: Pretty--my favorite color!
Cons: Don't try this with long nails!
Summary: I admit--I'm not a techie, so much of the options on this phone are wasted on me, so from that perspective, maybe not reflective of the cell phone user. However, since my son bought me the phone as part of his family plan, I wanted to give it a shot. First, not intuitive for the basic phone user. Reading the book is intimidating and time consuming--I don't have free time, so that adds stress. The key pads are smaller than I like and the print on the side applications tiny. Last, I have long finger nails and constantly hit the wrong part of the front key pad--strangely, I have to lightly tap with the pad of my finger instead of just poking it with my nail. It doesn't respond to the nail poke no matter how hard I push. So, I'm putting it back in the box and buying a simple phone. Know anyone who wants a good deal on a new, basically unused pink chocolate???

"I had so many problems with this phone." on by Brittany01169
Pros: I did like the keypad, it was hard to get used to but once I did it was nice. I also like the touch "screen," it was a unique but nice feature. I enjoyed the design of the phone as well as its organization with the menu, it was easy to use.
Cons: Overall, a TERRIBLE PHONE! The battery life is very short, if you're a texter it runs out in about a half a day or less. Depending on the phone, response can be very slow.
Summary: I really dislike this phone overall. It was nice at first but there's too many problems with it. My current phone (6th in 2 years) is the 3rd to have the charging unit broke to where it won't charge anymore. Bad battery life, speakerphone is too quiet. Depending on your phone it can have slow response time. Keypad numbers are so close together that if you text alot your hands might hurt. Other than all of that the phone was great, the layout and style I loved but the drawbacks can make you hate the phone.

"Cute, easy-to-use, durable phone." on by XoMusicoX
Pros: Pretty colors, nice screen graphics, good camera, durable, music, and touch screen
Cons: Called people in my pocket, and scratches easily.
Summary: This is a great phone that just takes a little getting ussed to with the touch screen. The only things are that it calls people in my pocket and it scratches(but it never breaks). LG fixed the calling thing with an unlock thing on the new chocolates, and I should be more careful, so it's all good now.

"Good phone" on by madmadi
Pros: Good picture quality, good video quality,
Cons: to touchy, small keys
Summary: I got the LG chocolate about 7 months ago. We were very excited since the Chocolate was the In thing. After about 1month of having the chocolate I noticed that it is very touchy. If im flipping through the contacts and my hand budges a centimeter it goes straight on to another area. It is very hard to text because the number keys are so small...
The camera on this phone is great though.
Takes great clear shots. The video is also great. It has great sound. You can also record a song under sounds then text the song to your phone then set that as your ringtone. It is great.
All in all, the phone is to touch for me but someone else might enjoy it. Not the best phone but not a bad phone -
"Most certainly does have a speaker phone" on by rmac200
Pros: Everything
Cons: no flash for camera
Summary: The Reviewer of this phone says that there is no speakerphone. They might want to read the manual, because it does have one. Once you make a call and it connects, the camera button is now the speakerphone button.
