LG Chocolate 3 for Verizon - Review Roundup



The LG Chocolate 3 (aka VX8560) is quite different from its predecessors in that it is a clamshell-style phone instead of a slider. Can it still be considered a Chocolate? Let's take a look at what this phone has to offer, and if it can shine above the others.

Mobiledia

They finally got it right
Spacious keypad
The FM transmitter sounded great through the radio
Download speeds extremely fast
Camera's okay, but needs flash/mirror
Call quality great, volume great, voices sounded natural

Laptop Mag

Happy with 3.5 mm jack
Soft spin wheel still on front cover and functions as navigation pad
Doesn't like the spacious keyboard (too spacious)
Voices not crisp through speakerphone
Talk time 4.5 hours

Unique Features

In addition to the typical stuff, the Chocolate 3 offers:

1 GB internal memory with expandable MicroSD slot
FM transmitter that allows you to listen to music on the car radio
2 MP camera, better than the first two; includes self-timer

LG CU500/CU500v


The LG CU500 is another 3G phone from AT&T. It features Cingular Video, Music, MP3 player, MicroSD slot, 1.3 MP camera (that swivels, no less!) and stereo bluetooth capability. The CU500v, which came out May 4, also adds video share, a brand new concept from AT&T. There isn't much information available on the CU500v as of yet but I will update when more resources become available.
