I have had this phone for six monthes now and have had the time to learn all of it's quarkes. First off let me start by saying I love this phones sleek styling and all of it's great features. I love Haveing music at my fingertips wherever I go and I love the Micro SD expansion port to hold more songs. I also love the ability to adjust the key control sensitivity so people with colder fingers (like me) can still use the phone. However recently I've begune having a few problems. My phone sometimes will just randomly dial somone off of my saved Numbers list for no reason. I have woken up at 3am several times to one of my friends cursing me out over the phone laying on my side table. Verison told me the phone just needed a software update and it spent an hour being downloaded and then it happened again two nights ago... also the screen scratches very easily and you have to constantly clean the phone as every finger print stands out and looks awful on such a beautiful phone... over all I like the phone and will probably replace it with anouther of the same phone and hope for the best... also verisons representatives and phone people suck

  I think I prefer Hersheys....LG Chocolate VX550
Review created: 02/05/08
by:
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Pros:
If you don't drive a car to commute,it's a great mp3 player.....
Cons:
Of course you'll need to shell out the price of the phone,service,memory card,accessories oh and the special music service extra....otherwise guess what!?!?
No music for you!

The touch pad and wheel are too sensitive with unnecessary lights that you "customize". It's fun to use it at night for a mini light show but I'd rather have some other features instead.

The slide mechanism is cool,but the phones out now (that are only $20 more after you pay for all this crap) have better features as far as sliding up or out or open or all three!

Wish I had waited for a month or two for a new phone but when your celly breaks what are you to do?
Im looking forward to getting a keyboard touch screen something or other......
as long as I won't need to spend an extra $250 just to use my new phone's features ya know.

IT'S A SET UP.

I love how fast it is and the style of it. It is great! Very happy!!! Going to use it until it is not usable anymore.I decided to buy it because A few of my friends have the same one and I loved it. Plus my old one the Motorola Razor was very slow and junk even though it was only a month old.

Now i ad this phone and it was a good phone, lasted me quite a while and all that. Now that being said, this one didnt have a chance to last me because it was a stolen phone. Not only did this guy sell me a stolen phone he is currently being a real dick about refunding me my money. So my suggestion, think twice about buying anything from this man.

I purchased this phone for my wife as a Christmas upgrade from her VX6100. The ease of use - phone wise- is simple & straight forward. The menu items are close to what I've been use to using on my VX8350. I also had a programming cable that I've used on the 8350 and the 8550 used the same cable. (A great plus as we upload our own ringtones and wallpaper) The cable interface worked very well and the charger cables were the same. The controls will take a little getting use to but the media side of this phone is really cool. We bought this phone used and we'll see if it can hold up to our abuse. So far it looks like it will be a good phone.

very nice, sleek, and stylish phones. The touch-keys are a nice feature and do not experience any pocket dialing while the slider is in closed position.

Although this phone arrived in excellent condition, it was not the 8550 version. It was the 8500 version which was not compatibale with my existing equipment. I was merely seeking to replace my 8550 that would not charge. I was so excited when I opened it that I removed the plastic cover off the screen..........big mistake. I thought it looked differently because my old phone was a different color. I know I am not supposed to evaluate the seller, but I do wish that items were as they are described. He said there was a letter on the page stating that it was not the 8550 but I did not see it anywhere, and I looked very closely at the ad. I lost over $20 on the transaction. I'm very weary of buying from Ebay again. Therefore, since the phone I received was not the stated phone, I cannot give it an evaluation as the 8550. I received a replacement phone from Verizon, identical to my original for $50, so I guess you could say I lost over $70 because I removed the plastic.

The phone was in almost perfect condition, just as the seller described. The seller was very patient in waiting for my payment, and once the payment was made, the item was shipped very quickly. I received it within two days. It works like new, and I am very satisfied with it. I would definitely do business with this seller again.

The phone was great. I brought the phone because I had a recent phone that broke and was still under contract. The phone that I purchased had some techincal difficulties but other than that it was a good phone. I would recommend this phone minus the technical difficulties.

  Everyone needs a cell phone
Review created: 02/07/10

Here's the thing, in writing this review I could lead a shopper to think that all LG Choc are alike. They are not. We purchase 3 other cell phones by the same product # before we got one that actually works. It seems to be a scam people are running on ebay at Christmas 09. When it is all said and done, I think the sellers of this product were just looking to make the shipping money. Everyone returned our money. What gives? You can't review a product without understanding the nature of purchasing something that you cannot see and take over to Verizon to make sure it works. I think that ebay should come up with some type of "certification" from Verizon so that I buyer does not have to be scammed so much. On the 4th try, my daughter loves the product. However, we ended up having to pay $65 to get one that actually works. This was no great savings.
