When the LG Chocolate was launched in 2006, the stylish phone in the shape of a chocolate bar became the "It" phone of the year. The new version, the LG Chocolate VX8550 for Verizon, looks just as sweet and packs more functionality into its minimalist slider design.
Chocoholics will find the phone slimmer and lighter than its predecessor while enjoying many of the same features, such as the phone's 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, Bluetooth capability, and access to Verizon's VCAST multimedia at ultrafast 3G connection speeds. The designers added a much-needed speakerphone function to their updated version and fitted it with a user-friendly scroll wheel for easier navigation as well as a vibrating touch keypad.
When not taking calls or streaming video, the phone transforms into a MP3 player and includes a micro SD expansion slot that takes up to a 4 GB card.
Combining beautiful design with rich functionality, the LG VX8550 won't disappoint fans who have sampled the first LG Chocolate and are eager to come back for a second taste.
