LG Chocolate VX8550 Reviews:

LaptopMag Reviewed LG Chocolate VX8550 and gave out “We like that the latest Chocolate weighs a bit less (3.2 ounces versus 3.5 ounces) and is a hair thinner than its predecessor, but we appreciate having dedicated Send and End keys on the bottom half of the slider even more. Another welcome enhancement is the 2.5mm audio jack on the left side of the VX8550, which makes the new Chocolate compatible with a wide range of stereo headsets, as opposed to being locked into whatever proprietary headset Verizon sells. “

PhoneArena Reviewed LG Chocolate VX8550 and gave out “Another nice area of improvement is the Camera quality, yet it is still limited to 1.3MP resolution and lacks a flash. The camera on the original VX8500 has problems with the Automatic White Balance, which would cause images taken outside to have a blue tint to them. Images were lacking in color and detail, and there was significant purple fringing. We are glad to see that most of these issues have been resolved with the VX8550. However, the image quality is still behind that of the enV, Maxx Ve, and A990. We would seriously encourage LG to incorporate a higher Mega-Pixel AutoFocus Camera with Flash in the next version on the Chocolate…if there is one.”

CNET Reviewed LG Chocolate VX8550 and gave out “The good: It has an impressive multimedia feature set that includes a megapixel camera, a music player, and access to Verizon’s V Cast service.The bad: The LG VX8550 Chocolate’s speakerphone can only be activated during a call. Even though we liked the vibrating feedback of the touchpad, we still missed the feeling of tactile keys. You also have to pay a little more if you want a microSD card plus a USB cable.”

PCMag Reviewed LG Chocolate VX8550 and gave out “The Chocolate is a decent phone, if not a marvelous one. I found RF reception to be fine. You get a lot of in-ear feedback too, and the earpiece goes up to a good volume but does distort a bit at top volume. The speakerphone volume is loud enough, even outdoors. Sound is just a touch harsh, however, and I wish the microphone transmitted a bit less background noise—but I’m very picky.Don’t get too excited, though. The Chocolate 8550 supports Bluetooth audio and phone book access, but can’t transfer files over Bluetooth or (yet) be used as a laptop modem.”

MobileTechReview Reviewed LG Chocolate VX8550 and gave out “We tested the LG VX8550 Chocolate with several Bluetooth mono headsets and stereo headphones, the LG paired with all easily. Music playback quality was very good when working with the Plantronics Pulsar 590A and the Cardo S2 stereo headphones…The LG VX8500 Chocolate had an excellent 1.3 megapixel camera that took sharp photos with balanced colors. The LG VX8550 Chocolate continues that tradition and offers an excellent 1.3 megapixel with fixed focus lens. The photos are sharp by 1.3 mp camera phone standards, colors are balanced with no obvious colorcast, have good level of exposure and noise is minimal even in indoor shots.”
