The LG Chocolate brand has become somewhat of an evolutionary phone line in the United States, morphing a bit as each year goes on. From a slider phone, the device migrated to a clamshell form factor last year, and has finally rested in the touchscreen arena.
As the name implies, the Chocolate Touch is Verizon’s first touchscreen Chocolate device. With the exception of the three buttons (send, clear, and end) on the front of the device and a few shortcut keys on the side, the device is touch-only. It’s either a love or hate thing. If you’re used to a keypad or QWERTY keyboard, the Chocolate Touch may not be the device for you. You can drag widgets to the main screen for quick access.
At times, reviewing these devices can be challenging, as it requires me to open up my thoughts into three mindsets: (1) The user that is getting a touchscreen device for the first time; (2) the individual that is familiar with these types of devices and is simply migrating to a new phone; and (3) the person who is migrating back to a device like the Chocolate Touch after using a smartphone. Depending on what type of user you are, you’re going to have a different experience.
The Chocolate Touch offers a 3.2-megapixel camera, and in my testing, image quality was very good. Given the phone’s target market and media-centric nature, it does a good job when it comes to pictures and videos. The standard photo options are included in the camera: five resolutions, white balance presets, color effects, focusing modes, a self-timer, and special shot modes.

Cell phones are often overlooked when the subject of cell phones comes up, but this is a big mistake. Cell phone charges can make the difference between peak performance with your cell phone. The worst thing in the world is to use a poor charger, because you’ll end up having a poor charge, when you last need it.

Most cell phone chargers for sale are geared towards a specific model. The first thing you need to do if you’re looking to replace the charger for your mobile phone is to make sure of the model number. If you get the wrong one, it won’t work. At EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium stores the specilist will find the best for you and your phone.

Cell phone chargers can make a big difference for your experience with your cell phone. The faster they charger, the better. Make sure to follow the rules for safe operation and your charger should last for a long time.

“My battery is dead….again”. We hear this so often. This is clearly something we want to avoid. So how can we get the maximum of our battery life?
All recent Blackberry phone use a Lithium Ion Battery (“Li-ion”). I’d like to share with you some good tips about getting the most out of your battery.
First thing to keep in mind is that if you are a new Blackberry user you are probably getting to know your blackberry very intimately the first few days. There will probably be lots of playing, checking out, and getting to know your new phone. So if your battery is running out quickly the first couple of days, it won’t be like this for long it’s probably just the initial excitement. So give yourself a week or so to get into normal practice.
Keep in mind that when you first get your battery you should charge it to 100%. If it says fully charged than it is, there is no need to leave it charging more than that; there is NO 110%. Recently though, most batteries will come fully charged out of the box.
Something good to always have around is a wall outlet at work, and a car charger. It’s a good idea to have these items handy and keep charging your battery for 10-15 minutes here and there throughout the day.
Don’t let your battery be drained everyday where you feel that it’s about to “die”. This can actually cause problems to your battery. So your best bet is to give it a bunch of little 10 minute boosts throughout the day.
So what causes most battery drains besides heavy usage?
For one, if you are in a “hard to find service area” where your blackberry is constantly looking for signals, your battery will be drained. My suggestion is that anywhere that there is low coverage and you don’t want your battery drained, you should turn off the “radio” on the home screen or the data signal (options-Mobile Networks- Data Services = OFF)
Make sure to check all applications running on your phone. You want to make sure that your browser is not on an active page. Remember that apps like Google Maps and all streaming audio apps are huge battery drainers. If you press the Menu Key and choose Switch Applications you will be able to see which apps are running in the background. There are usually a good handful that are always running. Feel free to turn some off if you are in severe circumstances.
Don’t forget to turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it. Log off Aim, Google talk, and Jive Talk if you are not using them. You may also turn down your backlight. You will be very surprised at how such a minimal barely unnoticeable change can help.
If you have a sleeper- magnet enabled holster than please use it. It simply puts the Blackberry to sleep, and saves the battery.

It’s simple and quick blackberry tips. You can eliminate annoying time spent reaching your voicemail constantly with your password.
1. Hit the Red button (Phone End/Power) a few times to return to Home Screen.
2. Then press the Green button (Phone)
3. Press the Menu button (BlackBerry) and scroll to select “Options”
4. Once you reached the Phone Options, scroll and select “Voice Mail”
5. Now you are at the Voice Mail configurations. You should see 2 fields: One being the “Access Number” and the second being “Password”. Ensure that the “Access Number” is filled in with your accurate phone number (with the area code).
6. Now scroll to the next line which is the Password field. Before you type in your password, you must add a pause (so that when the phone calls the voicemail it doesn’t type in your password while its still ringing which will require you to type your password in again so to avoid that step this pause is necessary). To add a pause, press the Menu Key (BlackBerry) and scroll to select “Add Pause”. You’ll know if you did it correctly if you see a P appear. After that type in your password and make sure you end it with a “#”. For example if you password was 123456 it should look like this–> Password: P123456#.
7. Finally press the Menu Key (BlackBerry) again and select “Save”.
8. Finish.
Now to test out your voicemail shortcut, simply return to the HomeScreen and press the 1 key (alos the ER key) for a few seconds and you’ll hear the voicemail dialing out along with a pause and your password.

NOTE : Please note that this setup is not recommended to someone sharing a phone or perhaps leaves the phone in a public area where people can easily access the voicemail – since when you press the voicemail key it automatically dials the password for you.
