LG Chocolate Touch

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.
