The Bottom Line	The LG VX8550 Chocolate is definitely a big improvement over the original Chocolate, with a beautiful yet functional design plus a host of impressive features to boot.	Despite our issues with the browser and the uninteresting design, the LG Chocolate Touch is a terrific music phone for Verizon Wireless.	The LG enV Touch's combination of great design and top-notch features makes it one of the top Verizon Wireless phones we've ever seen.	Though its performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price.	The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.
