LG deserves heaps of applause. It has discovered the scroll wheel, along with force-feedback touch keys, and Verizon's latest high-profile music phone is much, much better for it. In fact, the new Chocolate is Verizon's best music phone yet...

The new Chocolate is Verizon Wireless's best music phone, meant for folks who intend to use their phones for multimedia. For other uses, I have other picks. Text-happy Verizonites will probably be happier with the Env VX9900, stylish voice callers...

I don't have this phone yet but I really really want it. I've done so much research and this phone really is the best. And it's free on verizon! I'm really excited to upload my mp3s onto this phone. My ipod broke so i've only been listening to the radio recently.

I go through phones quickly, I have a two year old daughter that is extremely hard on my phones and I work all the time and I need a durable phone that can put up with many beatings. I own the Chocolate Blue Ice and I love it so much I talked my husband, mother and father into getting one. My daughter has thrown mine in the bath tub once and the toilet twice... and it still works! This is the best phone I have ever owned! Great Job LG!

I had this phone before I got my Maroon env3, and it was by far the worst phone I've had. It locked up by itself and wouldn't unlock. I wouldn't recommend this phone for anyone.
