LG VX8500 Strawberry Chocolate Phone (Verizon Wireless)

Summary: Don't Like Mine
Comment: I do not like my Strawberry Chocolate. The touch sensitive buttons do things when you don't even touch them. When I receive or place a call the mute screen pops up on its own. My camera quality is poor. If it wasn't so expensive to get a different phone I would.

Summary: TOOK ONE YEAR TO GO CRAZY!
Comment: I bought the Strawberry Chocolate one year ago and now it's starting to do things it never did before. It dials number out of my contacts when it's in my purse at least once a day.... When I'm out, I hear the voice command mode turn itself on and it's telling me to "say a command".The touch screen in getting harder and harder to touch...I loved this phone up until a couple weeks ago. Now I hate it and have to wait one more year to get a new phone......ARGHHHHH!

Comment: I love this product. Very easy to navigate. Sometimes unlocks keypad in pocket but other than that it is awesome and I have not had a problem with service yet.

Summary: Pretty Good; It Has It's Pros and Cons
Comment: I'd have to say this phone is pretty good overall; it has it's pros and cons, however.

The pros: The sound, camera/picture quality and the Chocolate's video are amazing... not to mention it has a bit of musical capability and looks like a little pink i-pod.

The cons: The keys have to be pressed somewhat firmly to get them to work properly, which is a hassle if you're a multi-tasking type of person and, if pressed too hard, the key could break and refuse to preform properly.

Also, the design is incredibly not break-proof. Let's see... the sliding keypad design could easily break even from a simple drop; seeing as it isn't very well attached.

I have to say, it has about as much cell-phone capability as an i-pod...maybe even less.

If you want a long-lasting cellular phone, DON'T buy this one!

Summary: faulty product
Comment: I got this phone less than a year ago and it has already broken twice. Verizon has given me a free new phone twice because the product malfunctioned. They told me the last time that they have had a lot of problems with this product and they recommend a different phone when I am eligible. I have a few friends who have had problems with theirs also. Apparently the reason LG came out with the new chocolate is because this one was so bad.
