LG Chocolate/VX8600 Questions

[amol]

1) Is it the only slider phone that Verizon offers?

If no --- what are the other current ones / upcoming ones?

If yes --- if you have one, what are your experiences with it?


Reason I ask is that my current Moto E815 is breaking down. The inner screen has been cracked for about 5 months (I've been using the outer screen to make sure I'm calling the right person in my phone book) and the top part of the phone is breaking off. I want to replace the phone with something that has an internal antenna.

Edit: After some research, I found the clamshell version of the Chocolate, which satisfies the "internal antenna" requirement. It looks pretty nice --- anybody have experience with that?

One hour bump.

I moved from the E815 to the chocolate, i hate it in comparison, batterylife is worse, its useless as an MP3 player (adapter needed for headphone jack), fingerprints galore, only has one scratch right now.

Overall, i read good review about the chocolate online, then it was the complete opposite when i got the phone, just not happy with it.

I read somewhere about a razor slider, i would look for that, i'm just not happy with the candy bar

I don't mind my chocolate at all. I got a white chocolate and was afraid of the scratches/etc from dropping it, i dropped it on my driveway...picked it up didn't notice nething. White still perfect as ever. I actually like the battery life...but yea, the mp3 player is crappy I haven't even bought the damn adapter thing - i want to try and get around to getting it but im lazy.

The adapter i was talking about goes in the charge power slot to convert it to headphone jack, pain in the butt if you ask me. You can get around the music essentials kit, you just need the cable but there is plenty of 3rd party programs to move files
