I have had this phone for six monthes now and have had the time to learn all of it's quarkes. First off let me start by saying I love this phones sleek styling and all of it's great features. I love Haveing music at my fingertips wherever I go and I love the Micro SD expansion port to hold more songs. I also love the ability to adjust the key control sensitivity so people with colder fingers (like me) can still use the phone. However recently I've begune having a few problems. My phone sometimes will just randomly dial somone off of my saved Numbers list for no reason. I have woken up at 3am several times to one of my friends cursing me out over the phone laying on my side table. Verison told me the phone just needed a software update and it spent an hour being downloaded and then it happened again two nights ago... also the screen scratches very easily and you have to constantly clean the phone as every finger print stands out and looks awful on such a beautiful phone... over all I like the phone and will probably replace it with anouther of the same phone and hope for the best... also verisons representatives and phone people suck

The phone is very easy to use and to learn to use. Is a very attractyive phone and is the perfect size for anyone. I broke my old phone and bought this one becasue of how other people felt about it. The menus are set up very well and the sound is excellent. Two thumbs way up for this phone!

I like the slider function. It is user friendly. I also like the size which allows me to fit it into any of my pockets without having to carry a holster.

Better built and more solid than the first LG ChocolateThis phone is built better than the first LG chocolate or VX8500. All the buttons are positioned better. The answer and End button has been moved which is good because on the VX8500, the screen is too sensitive and annoying.
I would say it's good for the money

I think I prefer Hersheys....LG Chocolate VX550Review created: 02/05/08
by:
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Pros:
If you don't drive a car to commute,it's a great mp3 player.....
Cons:
Of course you'll need to shell out the price of the phone,service,memory card,accessories oh and the special music service extra....otherwise guess what!?!?
No music for you!
The touch pad and wheel are too sensitive with unnecessary lights that you "customize". It's fun to use it at night for a mini light show but I'd rather have some other features instead.
The slide mechanism is cool,but the phones out now (that are only $20 more after you pay for all this crap) have better features as far as sliding up or out or open or all three!
Wish I had waited for a month or two for a new phone but when your celly breaks what are you to do?
Im looking forward to getting a keyboard touch screen something or other......
as long as I won't need to spend an extra $250 just to use my new phone's features ya know.
IT'S A SET UP.
