LG Chocolate VX-8500 / User Reviews

i've had this phone for about 2 and half years and so far it hasnt been that bad. WHen i bought it I thought it looked pretty good but nowdays it looks pretty crappy (compared to those iphone 4s) but i dont have any problems with the function of the phone. Oh my battery broke off too; I thought... More

this fone has a nice design great features good camera, but telus gave me 2 many problems >:(

I had this phone for 2 years and 7months. One juice spoill killed it, this was the best phone I ever owned. I would have replaced it with another if I could have got it through my provider. If I had the opportunity I would get it again in a heartbeat!!

I'm pretty much echoing what the other people are saying about this phone being a piece of trash. I went through 3 of these until finally the last one I had has held it's end of the bargain-somewhat. The only positive thing i can say about this phone is that i could drop it off of a building... More

Do you hear something? Umm...not after 2 years. My earpiece died. Now I either have to use the external speaker or a Bluetooth earpiece when making/answering calls. Horrible. The LG Chocolate is known to have this problem and typically it will appear around 2 years. It's related to the drivers in... More

I dont know what everyone is complaining about, honestly. I have owned my phone for over a year and no real issues. I actually really love it, best phone ive had =)
My Chocolate has been through drop after drop after drop on every surface imaginable, and its still kicking like the day i bought it. Besides... More

i'm on my 8th replacement chocolate. EIGHTH!! my younger sister went through 3 before someone gave her their spare phone. i have never in my life had to get a replacement cell phone with any other brand except for the LG Chocolate. It stops charging (the people at the verizon store said that it... More

this phone is terrbile.....i mean i loved it at first but than it got to the point where the battery died every day and i was always running on a dead battery.......((hint:waiting to get a text and phone is like dead....turn it on and call your voicemail**from your phone** youll recieve the message)... More

got it since March 2008 and in just 2 months, i started to hate it. first of all, it's not using SIM card. secondly, the touch pad is either too sensitive or insensitive at all. if you have a wet or cold hand, the touch pad can never sense the touching because it's based on body-heat.

this phone is a waste of hard earned cash! this phone is the worst phone ever. my old razor was better than this junk.

its design is terrible, 1) everyone thought it was an ipod. 2) it slips out of your pocket easily. 3) it isnt a great looking phone. 4) the slide screen gets stuck, stuff inside it.... More

So I had this phone for over 2 years. Overall, it's an okay phone, has its pluses and minuses. I hadn't had any big problems with it, no broken battery, cracked screen. I got it from a Telus store, not second hand.

So..

THE GOOD:
-very sturdy (dropped it like at least 5 times, maybe even... More

Bought it in August of '07, haven't had any serious problems with it so far. Sometimes while trying to flip open the phone to text, I'd hit the call button and accidentally phone the person I'm trying to text, I fixed it by locking the keys in the options. I bring my phone everywhere... More

i've had this phone for about 3 years and its been working perfectly since the day i had baught it. Only this i find wrong with it is that the sensor is a bit to sensetive, Other than that its perfect for me

Ive had this phone for about a year now. Everything was working good until about 2 months ago. It started randomly turning itself off and calling people on my contact list. Then about 2 days ago the whole touch pad stopped working. I can still recive calls but i cant make them because the touch call... More

I go my chocolate Christmas 07 (I think). So far I had 1 issue with the battery and 1 issue with the charger (partly my fault). My phone has lasted many falls to hard cement and took the blows with very little markings. The phone is in ok condition and very able to finish with my 3 year... BUT I'm... More

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE...YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Battery broke after a year and I had to take it. By the time my 2nd year was up, it kept turning off and not holding a charge. Other then that I did like this phone, the touch is great, not so great for text.
Looking for something new and still have 1 yr contract left....ughhhh

I just bought a Chocolate phone on E-Bay for $79.99 two weeks ago and the battery broke. No chance of getting my money back.

I've bought many phones in the past and this is the way worst i ever bought!
The battery broke like 1 month after the buy and i had to tape it because they told me it was my fault.
Chocolate isnt compatible with my computer and also 3-4 other computers i've tryed to connect to.
So I'm... More
