[CDATA[ This cell phone is the Chocolate by LG. It's actually in red. This is one of the original Chocolate cell phones that came out. My husband bought this for me as a gift. I like to go to the gym and so I was wanting a phone that also has a MP3 Player where I dint have to carry both the phone and the MP3 Player could have both in one. So I have the phone and I also have the music kit that comes with the headphones in 512 Micro SD Card for holding the MP3s. So I've been using this phone for over a year now. I can't say that I really like the phone. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. The buttons are touch sensitive and it has to be your hand so a lot of times you are selecting buttons that you didn't mean to select or they're hard to to push. If you're wearing gloves in winter time you cannot dial this phone or cannot use the controls on the front of the phone because you have to take your gloves off because it has to be your actual finger touching the button which I don't like. It's hard to hang on to. I drop it all the time It's got all kind of nicks and bangs on the side where I've dropped it because it's it's hard to hang on to. The buttons are really slick so text messaging on the go when you're doing other things is hard because they're slick and and you can't get a good feel for which one you're pushing. Other things that that I don't like about it the MP3 Player - when you put the music on it you have to use a special piece of software so it's not just a drag and drop you actually got to add it to a program and then you got to sync it up. It won't sync without the power cord so you got have the both power cord and the USB cord to get it to sync to your computer. There's is no good way to sort. The songs are just sorted alphabetically so you can't have a playlist that sorts it in a certain order. At least I've not found a way to do that. One good thing about it it does take good pictures the camera takes good pictures. I've never used the speaker phone feature it rings loud it does have a built in speaker to play your music which is kind of nice. But overall I wouldn't recommend this phone. It seems not to be durable or very user friendly. ]]
