LG Colorholic Phones- A Rainbow of Femininity
This LG “Colorholic” Slider (SC330/KC3500/LC3500) is available in 14 different colours, and is probably only interesting to fashion conscience females (and males, I suppose). The specifications are rather lacking- a 1.3 megapixel camera, mp3 playback, and text to speech features (that read out text messages and whatnot from the phone for you). I’m totally getting mine in “Bubblegum pink.” Like totally. They’re available now in Korea for a pricey $430.
LG’s VX8550 Chocolate 2 Reviewed
The LG VX8550–a recent addition to the chocolate lineup–was reviewed by PhoneArena. The Chocolate 2 has a media player, a 1.3 megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom, a microSD slot that holds up to 4GB, V Cast Video, EV-DO, and “Trace Motion” (a lighting feature that interacts with the navigational wheel). The LG Chocolate 2 is available in Original Black, Black Cherry, and Blue Mint.
PhoneArena reports that, “We are overall pleased with most of the changes that have been incorporated into the new VX8550. The phone has a more stylish look to it and weighs slightly less. The Touch-Sensitive Navigational Pad has been replaced by a Navigational Wheel, but moving the wheel for accessing menu selections can be troublesome. Because of this, we recommend pressing the wheel in the up, down, left, and right direction. The main keypad now has the Send, End, and Camera buttons located at the top, and the Numeric buttons are now larger and easier to use. Music playback and Speakerphone quality have been improved by using a larger speaker that causes less distortion to be heard. Call Quality in the earpiece is clearer and also lacks any noticeable distortion. The Camera now produces better looking images, but still is limited to 1.3MP resolution and lacks a flash or autofocus.
The VX8550 is a definite upgrade from the original VX8500 Chocolate. If you liked the original, you will love this even more, but if you didn’t like the Chocolate, you should give the new version a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.”
