The VX8600!

I've tried the Chocolate and the scroll wheel thing is very hard to get used to, plus it's super sensitive.

I currently have the VX8600, and I <3 it.

I don't know, but if you end up choosing the Chocolate I'd go for white. ^^

just by looks i'd go for the LG Flip phone
My friend has the Chocolate and absolutely hates it.
Camera, function, etc.

besides you can't go wrong with LG. Or SAmsung, but samsungs not in there ^.-

i own too many white things so this time i wanted to get something other than white xD
i like the pink chocolate, but ill probably get sick of the color soon so im leaning towards the red

both phones cost the same, but im getting my phone for free..i think the chocolate is prettier, but i wanted to know which phone is actually better

after this time with verizon, im going with cingular and getting a samsung phone

the chocolate phone IS LG.
In fact the vx8600 basically is the chocolate phone but flip.

I have it and i like it ::shrug::
I like the fact its thinner than the chocolate.
if you are going to put mp3s? The speaker phone on it is louder than the chocolate
I dont like how the front can easily get fingerprints is all.

woops my bad, it is LG.
But it's a watered down version of original.
Either way, it's quite annoying to use, and the camera is not that great for 1.3 megapixels.
I'm not really a fan of sliders, and besides the Vx is quite thin anyways

nope only black.

My friend has the VX8600. It's really thin and nice but the keypad is flush with the phone so it might take some time getting used to. I know I had a hard time when I was playing with her phone. ph34r.gif I personally prefer the chocolate. I wanted a slider before so haha. I also like how you can call people w/out having to open the phone and stuff. lazy? yes biggrin.gif

just by looks, i like the chocolate way better. ive always had a flip phone so i wanted to get a slider this time, but ive heard that chocolate is annoying to use too..

i wish the vx8600 would come in colors other than just black..the phone looks kinna plain. but i like the fact that it's really slim.

are both phones about the same?

if the vx8600 is the chocolate phone, flip style [i live in australia, it's called the LG U830 here and so was confused sleep.gif] i have it - i thought it was pretty because it was simple; a phone that you can keep around for a couple of years and it won't look very out of style. the camera's better on the flip - 2mpx compared to the 1.3 for the slider, but the slide is prettier, looks-wise, i think. ^^

and as someone already mentioned, there is the matter of the shiny cover. fingerprints show up very easily, and it'll probably scratch easily too - i'm paranoid, so i haven't taken off the protective plastic yet sleep.gif

all that said, any phone i would have gotten would have been better than my old one, which i carried around for about 3 years cos i was poor >_< but i love the chocolate flip. generally, looks-wise, lg is better, but in terms of functionality, samsung is superior [or so i've been told]. depends on what you want more, i suppose.

hope this helped ^^

actually i got used to it in a few day
i have the "pink" chocolate phone myself
you can change the touch pad to a less sensitive touch in settings.


i won`t say its better than the other tho
whatever you decide

maybeforever
