Description:

LG Chocolate 3 is a clamshell. Although it has the same model name, it is not slider as the first two generations (VX8500 and 8550). It is still a music-centric device with large control keys on the front, when closed. It also features a 2-megapixel camera and two color displays, as well as microSD slot for memory.

99% love it...

I've had this phone since DAY ONE and love it. I only have two MINOR issues with it....The lock button on the side should be able to be disabled. Everytime you close the phone, it locks. I would like to be able to unlock it when I know I'm going to be using the phone for a period of time. AND when I add items into the calendar, it automatically defaults to ABC mode (instead of Word) with no way to change that. Kinda ANNOYING when you are in mentally in WORD mode for everything else and then have to switch.

The sound quality is excellent. I've never had an issue with that at all.

Pictures great. Music mulittasking feature great.

OVERALL EXCELLENT PHONE!

Pros

Good screen size
excellent sound
solid phone
good music multitasking ability

Cons

lock button
calendar entry choices

This is a good phone! The front is actually a blue/black color. The FM Transmitter works pretty good. If you want to see the FM transmitter working go onto Youtube. I posted a quick video of me using it in the car.
I havn't had any problems with this phone one bit.

I had this phone for about a month. I'm a heavy user and the keypad got hot after only 20 minutes of use. The sound quality is not that great, I can hear my echo. It's a good size phone, larger than I thought. It has great features but, is not a phone for a heavy user. I switched back to the second generation Chocolate VX8550 and I'm very happy with that phone.
