Description: Performance of LG Chocolate VX8500 - mint (Verizon Wireless)
We tested the dual-band, dual-mode (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) LG VX8500 Chocolate in San Francisco using Verizon's service. Call quality was decent overall, and we had no problem getting a signal. There was little static or interference, but at times, callers sounded a bit harsh and robotic. Callers could tell we were using a cell, but they had little trouble hearing or understanding us in most conditions. We were able to pair the Chocolate with the Plantronics Explorer 320 Bluetooth headset and enjoyed reasonable call quality.
EV-DO coverage was admirable, and connection speeds were sufficiently speedy. Game downloads took less than a minute, and browsing was hassle-free. On the other hand, streaming video quality on the Chocolate wasn't very sharp. There was heavy choppiness and pixelation, and the sound didn't match the action. What's more, clips paused for rebuffering on more than a few occasions and at times even froze completely.
We were impressed with the music quality overall and found it to be Verizon's best-sounding music phone to date, surpassing the LG VX8300 and on a par with Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones. You can listen to music without the headphones, but your tunes will sound much better with them. Yet we didn't like the phone's proprietary connection, which didn't fit very securely. Keep in mind, the music player won't provide the full range of bass and equalizer options as you'll find on a stand-alone MP3 player, but it will do the trick for short to moderate stints. V Cast Music takes a few seconds to access, and song downloads take just over a minute. Check back soon for a full report on Verizon's Music Essentials software.
The Chocolate has a rated talk time of 3.5 hours and a promised standby time of 10 days. However, our talk-time tests came up short at just 2.5 hours. According to FCC radiation tests, the LG VX8500 Chocolate has a digital SAR rating of 1.13 watts per kilogram .
