LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on

by Darren Murph posted Jul 11th 2008 at 1:31PM

Wait, Verizon actually decided it would be a good idea to make official a cellphone today? Oh yeah, that's right -- the Chocolate 3 was announced with a Sunday availability date today, but for those hoping to see the wrapper unfold a few days early, today's your lucky day. The cats over at Laptop were able to acquire the new flip and test it out ever-so-briefly, and while initial impressions seemed rather positive, we reckon it's the photos you're really after. Dig into the read link for the full gallery.

Why would I want an iPhone when I could have a much smaller device that has Stereo Bluetooth, that I can record a video with and then send it via MMS, just like taking a picture and sending it via MMS, that actually HAS turn by turn navigation, that I can swap out my battery and memory card, and also works better as a phone?

The iPhone is not that great of a phone when I can get better devices out there for the same price, or cheaper. The iPhone sucks, plain and simple.

sounds to me like this "tony gal" is either a random bot, or is just another in the long line of "if it's not the iphone, then it's crap". such a sad mentality.

and I agree with you, Junk - why, when you can get so much more? and on a better network to boot!

the chocolate 3 also has a built in fm transmitter so that you can listen to your mp3s on your car (or wherever) stereo w no extra equipment. dont know if the stations are preset tho.
