I've had my chocolate for a month now, and overall I would say that I'm a pretty satisfied customer. This is my second LG slider style phone. The first one I had was the LG PM325, and I liked it a lot until I broke it (which was entirely my fault, not a flaw of the phone). I'm going to do a handy pro/con list.Pros:-Pretty design, very shiny and sleek.-Huge vibrant screen.-Durable. I've dropped it once already and it didn't skip a beat, or send the battery pack flying in another direction like one phone I had.-The only time I've been low on service was when I was out in the middle of the woods and no one else had service either.-Sound quality is great, I can always hear people loud and clear, except for when their service is crappy.-Decent battery life, lasts all day even when used for music.-Speaking of music, I got a pair ofBluetooth headphonesto go with the phone and the music sounds great. Pretty decent range as well.-The touch buttons, although sometimes annoying (like when you are making a call and you hit one with your face) are responsive and fun to use, and they don't get pushed accidentally by things in your purse or pocket.-MicroSD card allows flexibility of expansion that you don't get from something like an iPod. They aren't that expensive, so you could get a couple and have one with music for the gym, and one for travel music or something.Cons:-Seems to be vulnerable to scratches. I'd keep it in a case if I were you.-If you are a Mac user, getting your own music on the SD card is going to be a bit of a hassle. To sync things directly you have to have WindowsMediaPlayer10, which they don't make for Macs, or you can use a card reader and drop music directly into a folder. Only problem with that is it seems really picky about which files it recognizes the song info (title, artist, album) for.-If you are a PC user, getting your own music on the SD card is going to be a bit of a hassle. Chances are you already have WindowsMediaPlayer10, but now you are going to have to pay 30$ to get the Music package from Verizon, which includes the USB cable and drivers on CD (Or you can by the cable on ebay and find a download for the drivers). Then you sit through the clunky syncing process that doesn't always work how it should.(Once you figure out a process, though, the music is worth it.)-I personally don't care for the little flap that you have to open to stick in the charger.-The camera seems to squish images vertically a little.-The menu system takes some getting used to, it's definitely geared toward convincing you to buy downloads and such but once you learn where the things you actually want are it's easy navigation.All in all, I'd say the phone has it's quirks but none of them were a deal breaker for me.
