My daughter wanted a simple phone for mostly texting. She's had no complaints. Verizon slammed her account with a $10 extra fee per month so I had to call to get the fee refunded and removed from the account. Always watch your Verizon bill. They have been more concerned with their profits than accuracy. They have never mare a billing error to my advantage that I know of.

Pros: Good feature set for non-smartphone with email, Facebook, Twitter, Opera Mini, and has touchscreen; touchscreen is pretty accurate; 3G is definite plus; bubble-style texting interface is handy; includes predictive text feature for a decent keyboard. Cons: Touchscreen can be a pain when scrolling through menus; Hello UI hard to get to, therefore kind of useless; keyboard layout not great; game selection sucks unless you are willing to pay; data plan priced like smartphone; Sprint's network; camcorder Summary: Verizon has its Envs and Sprint has its Rumors. LG and Verizon obviously have a decent partnership, because the Rumor Touch is not the Env Touch. However, the Env Touch was an editor's choice, so it's pretty hard to be as great. That being said, the Rumor Touch is pretty decent in its own right. User Interface (Touchscreen): The touchscreen is not bad for a resistive one, but it is still resistive. Scrolling through menus often results in the accidental selecting of an icon, and keep your fingernails long. All in all, though, it is responsive enough for all but those who have been using capacitive screens since 2007. And let's face it, if you have been using capacitive screens since '07, you're probably not going to buy this phone anyway. Overall, the UI is simple enough to understand and navigate, and the menus are easily customizable in an intuitive and simple way. The Hello UI is cool, but it's really hard to get to, and so I, for one, never use it, which is a real shame because it is a great concept, just poorly executed. Still, BREW (Qualcomm's OS, used on the phone) is simple and straightforward and will appeal to the heavy texter, and even the average one. Features The Rumor Touch has a great feature set for the most part, with dedicated Google Maps, email, Twitter, and Facebook apps. It also has both a default browser and the excellent Opera Mini, which is speedy and easy to use and great over a 3G connection. The email app is far from spectacular, and only works with Yahoo! and Gmail (so I couldn't hook up my Verizon account), but hey, it's there, and most people I know use Yahoo! and Gmail anyway. Still, it's really not a Blackberry. The Twitter and Facebook apps are similar to the email in that they are far for great, but they're there and that's a bonus any day on a feature phone (P.S.--I don't use Facebook and Twitter, so I really haven't used them except to see what they were--you should get a second opinion on them.). Google Maps is an awesome app that works as a GPS; it's kind of slow, but it will help if you are completely lost and need help, which is really what it's supposed to do. Media There is a microSD slot on the phone that can support up to 32gb microSD cards, so if you use it, you can put all the music on it you want, provided you buy the card. The multimedia is not bad. Sound quality is good, and videos are pretty much what you would expect from a 240x400 screen--kind of watchable. Wrap-up There was really nothing about this phone that really blew me away, but there was nothing that made me cringe either. The good things about this phone definitely outweigh the bad, and the few bad things are really mostly minor and hardly deal-breakers. For everyone except heavy smartphone users, this phone will be great.Read full review
I purchased the LG Chocloate because it looked like a phone that I would enjoy using. I used it to replace my LG env touch (which I loved). I have tried many different brands of phones and LOVE the LG brand so I felt this would be a good fit for me. When I first got the phone it worked great. However in the last two weeks the screen started to freeze up and I was unable to really use it. I am thankful I had and old phone around so I could continue with my phone service. The phone itself was easy to use. However, I would not purchase another LG Chocolate Touch. As This is the second one I have had and both of them had problems. However, the problems were different. I don't know if it was a fluke or that the phones themselves have problems or the companies off ebay that I purchased them from. I tend to be a little leary. I gave the phone an overall good rating as when it was working it was good. It has good features and easy to use. The battery life is good and for the price it was not bad. I am disapointed that it started having problems.Read full review
This is an awesome little device. All the functions you need in a phone and mp3 player. Especially for the price, compared to owning both seperatley. Although, like usual, there are few features that could be tweaked. For instance; when you use random on the mp3, it doesn't do a great job of remembering which ones you've heard. Some days you'll never hear the same ones, some days you hear a couple of songs a couple of times. But you can always hit next so that's not a huge deal. When I first recieved the phone I was immediatley reminded of the RAZR with it's size and style. And it basically is the same only upgraded exterior and speedier interfacing. I am disappointed in the toughness of the phone. It is a little flimsy, and if you left it open and stepped or sat or whatever, you would probably break it. But that's what insurance is for! I am also pretty hard on phones so this may not apply to you. I decided to buy the LG Choco 3 because of its dual pupose and my active lifestyle. Very convienent and more affordable than buying a new phone and a new IPOD plus song prices.Read full review
