LG Chocolate Spin (VX-8550)

“After a somewhat lukewarm response to the original Chocolate, LG returns with an update. The successor is a better-looking piece of plastic (though decidedly still plastic), and the sucky touch-sensitive navigation pad has been replaced by a more usable, iPod-style scroll wheel with buttons. Music playback and speakerphone have also improved. But not all is well: We found ourselves accidentally activating the touch-sensitive buttons that surround the wheel.WIRED: Handy sliding unlock button. Loud, clear speakerphone. Smart upgrades (like a relocated speakerphone key). V Cast music and video access.TIRED: Chubby (0.7-inch). Three-hour talk time. BYO memory card and USB cable. It's a fingerprint magnet.”
