Expert Review for the LG VX8500 Chocolate (Verizon Wireless) Cell Phone
Expert Review    3.8
by Joni Blecher -- August 14th 2006
Yes, the LG VX8500 "Chocolate" is being dubbed a music phone and its cool exterior slightly resembles the U2-inspired iPod, this cell phone isn’t just about the music. It’s got decent battery life, impressive audio quality, expandable memory, a 1.3-megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Despite all the music features, the LG Chocolate is a cell phone first with some nifty extra features. If you want a cell phone that turns heads and can keep you entertained while on the road, check out the Chocolate. But if you want an MP3 player that can make a few calls… keep waiting. What you want hasn’t been made yet.
