LG VX8600 to be the new Chocolate flip phone

Tired of new Chocolate phones yet? Well, hold that wallet close, because there is yet another Chocolate phone in town. It looks as if someone has leaked a few juicy details and pictures of the up-and-coming LG VX8600, the flip phone version of the popular LG VX8500 Chocolate slider. The VX8600 clamshell actually looks more like the GSM-based LG KG800 Chocolate in terms of style (no circular navigation pad, for example), and it retains the same touch-sensitive controls and slim and sexy design of the original. According to Engadget Mobile, the features of the phone include a 1.3-megapixel camera, a microSD expansion slot, A2DP Bluetooth, and built-in GPS. It'll also apparently cost $249.99 for retail and $179.99 with a two-year contract. While we're certainly impressed with the design of the phone from these pictures alone, we'll have to wait until we get the phone in our hands for a final verdict. Stay tuned for our full review of the VX8600 for that.

It's already out!!!

Just not in the states. Where I live it's called the Black Zafiro and it's GSM. 1.3 MP camera, 128MB, and a low price tag make it a best buy.

I Heard That These Phones Suck.
Is It True?

I've personally owned two of these phones and It was the biggest mistake of my life. The small internal antenna restricts you from making calls inside houses and buildings most of the time. It seems almost every zone is a dead zone besides being out in the open. After one month of owning the first phone It fell apart, I began to get player errors on the front screen, and the buttons stopped working all together. The second one I owned immediately started cracking at the hinge due to low quality plastic, the front touch buttons stopped working after just 2 months of owning the phone and today I dropped the phone on carpet and the hinge+ribbon broke in half. If you were wanting to keep this phone for awhile I would suggest putting it on a shelf because It won't with stand day to day abuse. I only got it the 2nd time because the phone was replaced by verizon free of charge. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone...
