Transcript of Featured Review

Hey this is a CPU adviser and I just want to make a review on the LG 8550 also known as the Chocolate Spin. This is the red version -- is it red? Yeah this is red. I've only have this for a couple of weeks maybe two weeks and I really like it but that's just because compared to my old phone it's amazing. So this is the LG 8550 and the buttons are red it's all red actually _____. It's like a trim like in the middle of silver and then this wheel it spins like -- it's like an iPod spinning except this actually but with an iPod you just like senses your finger this actually spins around. It's got a 1.3-megapixel camera it's got a micro SD slot right there it's got a headphones jack You put this when it's in you push down here you'll hear a click you let go and it pops out so you can just pull it off and this is it right here all right and when you put it in you have to really like _____ to do you have to push it in really far but _____ and so you have this bigger speaker at the top on the back. Mine is _____ which I don't like _____ but and so we turn it on you hold the power button it'll light up says LG. Just wait you watch the wheel lights up. I think that's really cool it lights up with red and blue and then it makes it all like purply so again that was on. It's got four heat center button as you can see those lines right there. The one at the bottom left is the speaker phone button to put on speaker. The two top ones are the menu button and the contacts button and the bottom on right here the bottom right one right here it's the back button so yeah and here let me show you and the key pads is all in numbers and then there's in between the like call and hang up button there's the camera button you click it to go to camera to go to take pictures I don't know can you see that? I don't think so oh yeah you're ready to take pictures or you can go from there to -- you hold it just keep holding and it goes to take new video and the picture quality video quality is really good. It's got good sound recording on the videos. Probably my favorite part is just the spinner O and here I don't know if you can see it but as you spin lights flicker and it flashes and you can hear that noise maybe can you hear that? And when you press the vibration button or _____ when you press the heat center button they vibrate to like to tell you that you've pressed them and if you don't want to open it up to go through your menu and stuff there is a little slider on the side that you slide down and let go and it will unlock your phone so you can through your menu and of course you can set it so that you don't need to unlock it like I have said it's always open but I wouldn't recommend that because I don't know I think it gets to be a pain. And then some of the other side buttons are -- this is a button to go to the music player for your micro SD. This button is for voice activations and -- voice recording sorry _____ and then this is the up and down volume and so I don't know if you saw but the music button -- so you can't see this and then that's about it. So this is my review of the LG 8550 or Chocolate Spin. Bye.
