| bigsipe27's Full Review: LG CHOCOLATE VX8500 Cell Phone |
I got this phone three years ago in replace of a crappy flip phone I had. It was a very nice phone and I was excited to get it. It had the slot for an extended memory card which you could store your music on. I used it a little bit for that, but I have an Ipod so I didn't really need the phone for that use. The battery lasts for around 3 days unless you are heavily using the web or applications like that on your phone. ONE THING I MUST SAY...do not charge this phone, or any phone every night for it will start to lose batter power. I didn't listen to what people told me and did this and it got down to I couldn't talk on my phone for more than 2 minutes before it died. All it needed was a new battery. Secondly, one good thing about this phone is that when it reaches a certain temperature it will automatically shut itself down. This is a very nice thing to have especially in the summer! Very sleek design. Now opposed to everything else I've heard about this phone, mine was very reliable and strong. I dropped it on many occasions and it still worked just fine. It got wet and all I did was take the battery out, dried it, and then put it back and and turned it on, and walaa it worked again. Other than all this it was just like a normal phone. Easy text messaging, I had to find the button to toggle between words but once I found it, it was easy as pie! I still have this phone now, with the new battery, but it'll be going on three and a half years that I've had it and the battery dieing, which is my fault, is the only problem I've really had with it. Great speakers for listening to music and for talking to someone on speaker phone. Also, everyone else had phones that could take videos for a maximum of 6 or so seconds, but mine could take up to 15 seconds of video and stores way over 100 photos, just on internal memory, and no added memory.
