Now that the successor to
LG's Chocolate line has been available to
Verizon Wireless customers, we thought it would only be fitting to put the latest addition through the paces and see if the
VX8550 is a worthy successor. From a quick glimpse, both the LG
VX8500 and the VX8550 both share the slide up form factor both sporting a hidden keypad. LG has kept the camera on the back of the slide on the VX8550. This allows for safe storage of the camera when not being used while also decreasing the amount of fingerprints, smudges, and scratches on the lens.
