I just need my phone to do 5 things:

Keep my numbers
Call in
Call out
text message
have a good signal


Anything else is useless to me in a phone. I have a camera and an Ipod for music and pictures.


This thing is just for gadget heads.

The only thing I hate are the side buttons seem to push too easy when in my pocket.

I do dig the music on the Chocolate commercials.

The RAZR is much better than I expected it to be, and it fits in my front shirt pocket w/o notice. I'd rather have a pebble or a the other real slim non-flip phone they make, but with Verizon, beggers can';t be choosers.

Don't know anything about these... but I already sense it's trouble for me.


<-- gadgethead

My current phone is an LG. I've had it for 1 1/2 years. It takes picutures and I can "surf the innernets". It's also got a text-typepad--i.e. letter buttons. It's pretty cool. LG makes good phones.

I was referring to liking the RAZR.
I've seen 2 commercials for the Chocolate with different music. the one I heard first and like more is a more techno/ NIN sounding intro. Is that the Goldfrapp?

Edit: I did see they had a sample one at Circuit City, but I didn't get to pushing buttons. (those are usually dummy phones) I'd think a Verizon dealer would have a working model you could try. Or just read reviews on Amazon.com or this mobile phone forum: http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic49379.html

One thing I discovered (at least back when I was in the market for a phone( was that cellphone dealers don't have a CLUE about audio capabilities. The first one that sparked my interest was pretty cool... played MP3 back when that was really a new thing.

Apparently they neglected to add a headphone jack on the phone I was looking at. Sales guy had no clue whatsoever.

This prolly isn't so bad nowadays though.

I can't wait until my 2 year plan is up with Verizon so I can get a new phone. Mine is ok for 5 years ago but I want a Razr or something cooler.

I liked the look of the PEBL, but the demo phone was all busted up when I was looking.

I'll be looking into a new phone pretty soon. It'll be either the Motorola Q with Verizon or the Palm Treo 700p with Sprint.

I have no interest in the Chocolate phone, as said earlier, I already have an iPod. I don't need my phone to hold songs.

I just jumped on the razr bandwagon this week. I didn't like it the first time I saw it. Liked it much more the second. It's pretty spiffy so far.

i've got a buddy who's ready to throw his Treo against the wall on a daily basis.

Is it the same model I mentioned? Out of the reviews I've read, I've actually heard more bad things about the Motorola Q than the Treo.

The Helio Hero looks pretty dope but I doubt I'd leave Verizon just for that.
