Paul says...

The LG VX8560 Chocolate 3 by Verizon Wireless is a huge improvement over the last two chocolate models. This new chocolate phone comes in the flip form instead of as a slider with lots of new capabilities.

As far as new features, there is an FM Radio and an improved scroll wheel on the front of the phone. You can access the camera, read text messages, view pictures and video, and play music from the front screen.

The Chocolate 3 and other new phones from Verizon Wireless have a new ability that allows you to upgrade the device's software from the phone. This avoids having to wait in line at the tech store to upgrade your software... a wonderful new feature of new phones.

The Chocolate 3 also comes with a new style of USB/Charging combo. Basically, you plug the USB cable into your computer or into a wall outlet adapter so it plays the part of both. You can also charge the Chocolate 3 from the computer.

Includes: Phone, USB Cable/Charger Combo, Instruction Manual
