 Worst Phone Ever! September 13, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!!!
This is the worst phone I have ever had. When I first got it (day one)it sounded like you are talking through a muffled blanket and the person on the other end can never hear you due to the poor sound quality and poor microphone. I have had my phone serviced and replaced three times due to malfunction of the microphone and the touch keys. I have had this phone for about a year and if you get it with a two year contract you will get screwed since it will not last you two years and the warrenty only last a year. I just recently passed my one year mark and my touch screen stopped working once again, and my mircophone has completely died. No one can hear me on the other end but I can hear them only. This is the worst phone I have ever had. Please be advised, do not purchase this phone.
 Yall R Crazy I Love This Phone!!! July 14, 2008
IS it 100% perfect No...
But LG listened to the peoples complaints about the 1st chocolate and fixed a lot of the issues. I love the scroll wheel. and all the new features. It is better than most phones and EVEN THE I-PHONE! All the I-Phone has is the stupid touch screen cuz this phone has lots of features the IPHONE doesn't.
One issue for me was the CLR button gets in the way sometimes other than that I didn't have problems moving songs onto the phone and YOU CAN DRAG & DROP!!
Chocolate sucks! June 9, 2008

I wish I read these reviews before buying this phone.
Yes, it's pretty but the it's a pain in the a** to use!
As others have pointed out, the scroll wheel is way too sensitive even on "low" setting. If you make a call and have to dial an extension or if you have to make menu selections i.e. "press 1" "press 0 to call the operator", the touch screen turns and you get some random menu selection. It's thinking you're trying to do something else by pressing numbers after you call a number.
You CAN turn the touch off after making a call by using the Lock feature. BUT, this feature turns back on when you dial extensions or enter numbers after placing calls. It's annoying having to hit lock every single time I want to do something.
Oh! and FORGET about taking fun pictures of yourself with friends!
When you try to take your own picture by flipping the phone around the touch pad turns on. So you have to make sure you ONLY touch the center of the phone. If your finger touches any other part, the super sensitive touch feature goes into a menu. You can't even use the "Lock" feature to turn off touch for camera. Annoying.
Oh, and the texting! What's the deal with no symbols? If i want to add an exclamation point or dollar sign I have to go into some symbol menu to add it to my text. Huh?
I returned this phone after a few days of use. When I returned my phone there was another customer returning his chocolate too!
This chocolate will leave a bitter taste in your mouth!
Wow, that was cheesy. Ok, I'm done.

I'd just like to echo the points made above:
1) The scroll wheel is difficult to use and inefficient.
2) When you make/receive a call and your cheek hits the phone, the touch buttons activate, which can sometimes prohibit using the keypad until you figure out a way to get out of the menu.
3) The face of the phone scratches easily even when you are very, very careful.
4) The voice activated calling is a disaster and almost never calls the right person.
The phone is on its way back to Verizon today for something different.
 disappointed January 6, 2008

I am definitely disappointed in this phone so far- specifically the mp3 features. The phone does not appear to allow you to list songs on an album by track # on the phone- it arranges each album alphabetically. Major design flaw. Especially when you are listening to musicians who match beats across tracks or live recordings. I can only imagine what a pain it is for audiobooks.
For those who purchased this phone, not to use the mp3, was it a status symbol purchase? I don't get it- was the phone free?
As for the point by point counter to Pamela's post- some of the info is helpful- thanks. But I agree completely with Pamela- this phone was designed with teenagers in mind who would be likely to be purchasing single tracks through the vcast service.
The marketing campaign has been definitely designed to lead consumers to believe that this is a pared down competitor to the iPhone- it is clearly not. And for the suggestion that verizon stores are going to help you understand the limitations of the device- I am still laughing. I have been back 3 times (2 different stores) with issues and have yet to come across a competent employee. Friendly, yes, but knowledgable (or forthright?), no.
