Oppinions on this phone? Seen it and it does looks really good, but even though it looks stylish how does it perform?

Looking at this phone or the K750I. LG costs about £50 more than the K750I.

Aye, im considering getting one of these too in the new year... thoughts and oppinions most welcome

As far as i'm aware LG phones should be avoided at all costs. Never had one myslef, but i've only heard bad things.

Style over functionality im afraid, wife has one and although it’s a ‘nice’ phone to look at, the rest has left a bad taste, especially network reception – leave well alone, we wont by buying another LG – Nokia or SE all the way now

Great as a "going out" phone, not so good as an everyday phone. The software just seems a bit...clunky.

Put off it now. So is Sony Ericssons range the best currently?

Looking at the k750i, w700i. Whats the difference?

I've got an LG Chocolate and I'm looking forward to April..... when I can upgrade and get rid of it.
Yes it's nice to look at but the phone itself gets on my nerves at times.

My mum has this phone on Orange contract its been replaced 7 times since it came out. Utter Dog.

Sony for the win

If you're looking for something around the same style as the LG Chocolate then the Samsung e900 is lovely. Got mine the other day and i'm loving it, takes a while to get used to the buttons but over time it's nice.

LG Chocolate is rubbish

My best friend had one and she returned it a total of 3 times each time after a few months. First time the screen totally locked up, second time the screen went green and purple and the phone "controlled itself" and the third time it done both :eek:

in a word stay well away from the chocolate its a bag of crap , and thats not a silly comment the amount of customers i have seen and spoken to , that have ahd the phone and the problems with it !

i have bought myself a chocolate phone. i like the looks of it and it lacks in features. if you expect it to performe like a K800 or N73, avoid the chocolate at all costs. I don't seem to have any issue at all with this phone. everything seems to be working fine. it's only good looking basic phone with good mp3 features. major drawback for me is it doesn't have speakerfone.

Guess I'm in the minority. I've had all the silly all-singing all-dancing phones and wanted something small/slim/light that I could just send messages and call on, and it fits be bill perfectly. Like I say, I must be in the minority.

Except it's rubbish for texting on as well..

Hmm, clearly I've been using a different phone to what I thought for the last few months, thanks for clearing that up for me. :rolleyes:

Gotta say, I've had more mobiles than the average joe, and I've had a chocolate since june, without any problems, texting is fine, everything is quite nice.
