Reviews of the LG Chocolate 3 - black (Verizon Wireless)

    CNET Review

    July 15, 2008

    The Good: The LG Chocolate 3 is an attractive phone with easy-to-use controls, two brilliant displays, and plenty of multimedia features. It also has a 3.5-mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, and a built-in FM transmitter. Call quality was excellent as well.

    The Bad: The LG Chocolate 3 suffers from a flat and slippery keypad, plus a reflective front surface that's prone to fingerprint smudges.

    The Bottom Line: The LG Chocolate 3's design doesn't quite match up to its predecessors, but upgraded features like a built-in FM transmitter makes it a worthy music phone purchase.
