Verizon welcomes new LG Chocolate.

The LG Chocolate was the first eye catcher in Verizon's line-up and it would only seem right that they would either release an updated version or a follow up to combat with the changing demands of cellular consumers. With that said, we're now presented with the LG Chocolate (VX-8550), the update to the popular Chocolate that is now available via Verizon's website. The updated Chocolate boast new features such as a new keypad that uses touch feedback and a new feature that LG calls "Trace Motion" with uses light to determine the input. Besides the addition of a few components, the phone stays relatively unchanged and users can expect the standard features to include stereo bluetooth, a microSD slot for up to 4GB of storage and so on and so forth. The LG Chocolate is available through verizonwireless.com and was released on the 9th of July so go out and get your oven new and sort of improved LG Chocolate.

LG Chocolate 3

I picked this up last week and this is a top flight phone.

Pros:
Fast - It has an incredibly fast processor with 140 MB of ram... more than triple of any other non-smart phone I've seen.
RF - EVDO is about 50% faster than my ENV and the voice codecs are crystal clear, even in only 1 bar areas, like my living room.
Rhapsody To Go support - Subscription service to the Rhapsody library for 14.95 a month.
Size - Its a long, wide phone but fairly thin. Because of this the keypad is great for bigger fingers. In fact the tactile feel of the keypad is the best I've used.
Screens - Both screens are very big, bright and clear. Because both screens are backlit, you don't have to look at it at the right angle, like the Alias aka Samsung u740. The exterior screen is larger than some interior screens.
Battery life - charged it the first night, 5 days ago. I'm still at 2 bars and I've been using the C3 as my dedicated mp3 player with the FM Transmitter.

Cons
FM Transmitter is adjustable, its only preset to 88.1, 96.1, and 106.1 but it's incredibly weak. My car is an 05 M45 and if there is any type of other signal, the transmitter washes out. It needs to be more powerful, which is something I expect they will fix in an update sooner rather than later because this will be a selling point for alot of people.

The Wheel navigation is a bit quirky. Sometimes you rotate it, sometimes you move it up and down. I personally think the wheel spins a bit too freely.

Memory and Rhapsody needs to be fixed. Some LG Chocolate 3 accessories that I would recommend would be a memory card so you can transfer files to your computer. It cannot detect the internal memory and my 4 GB card at the same time. I have to pop out the memory card and authorize the device a second time to use the internal. Not that big of a deal but it is irksome and I'm expecting that to be fixed in an update as well.

Conclusion
I really like this phone. Its incredibly fast, with a very good feature set. It does need a couple of updates which I'm fully expecting them to fix within the next couple of weeks.

LG Decoy

I think this is the best phone next to the 8300 that lg has put out for a slider phone it rocks. I have had alot of lg phones and samsung and this one is the best so far the sound quality is great the screen size easy to read the phone slides easy and they now have a holster for this phone that you can open the phone with out having to take it out of the holster which is a big plus for me. I dont use the bluetooth I took it out and put in the cover that comes with the phone it does come with a separate charger for the bluetooth so if you dont want in on the phone that is a option the battery life is great on this phone I went from the samsung u 620 which battery life was very bad and this one is great I have nothing bad to say about this phone. you can customize this phone to your liking. There are also LG Decoy accessories to help with the cell phone like cases, batteries, and much more.

LG KF700 ready to strike

Slated for release this month is the LG KF700 from LG Electronics. The said mobile phone made a lot waves and noise during the Mobile Phone Convention last month and stirred a lot of excitement and anticipation from the mobile communications community. At a clear vantage point, the overwhelming buzz over the LG KF700 is pretty much justified. One of the probable reasons is that the LG KF700 is one of the mobile phones poised for launch since LG's announcement that they will now only cater to the upper crust of the market. Quite a pressure, if you would ask me.
Obviously, the LG KF700 and the LG cell phone accessories that come with it are still on the works so it is quite unsafe to make a verdict just yet.
So for now let us all be content with our Nokia phones with their Nokia accessories or our Motorola phones with their Motorola cell phone accessories.

LG Aloha for Virgin Mobile

The LG Aloha sports a sleek design and a beautiful exterior finish which is enticing to the eyes. Or rather so minimalist that it could be regarded as a so-so mobile phone. But judgments are really subjective, so here's my subjective view of the LG Aloha for Virgin Mobile. Now that we are past the outside, let's go check the features and how they fare on my personal meter.
The LG Aloha is not a highly-advanced mobile phone with complicated features. The Aloha is basically a phone. So for those who are looking for flip phone with camera and stuff, you are in the wrong hole. Otherwise, the Aloha weighs in at 2.7 ounces, practically light. But the plastic feel that you get once you hold the phone will turn you off instantly.
But if that won't throw you off, then the goodies will come, think. The Aloha commands a decent performance for phone conversation. Call quality is good but not spectacular. One can actually hear some background noise but not loud enough to disrupt the entire conversations.

If you are thinking of getting this phone and have it customized with cell phone cases, cell phone covers and other mobile phone accessories, you are wasting your bucks pal. Even if Virgin Mobile offers it at $19.99, it's not worth it.
The LG Aloha is a sucker for a mobile phone. No more, no less.
