LG Chocolate (VX8550) Review - Internet, Storage and Connectivity


Internet


The Chocolate connects to the internet on the EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) frequency, which downloads at rates of up to 3.6 Mbps. This superfast connectivity allows Verizon subscribers to stream VCAST services painlessly and keep connected to the internet through Verizon's news, entertainment, sports and weather channels as well as dozens of downloadable applications that bring Web site pages to their phones.

Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL account holders can access their mail on the go with Verizon's Web 2.0 service, which is available for an additional monthly charge, plus airtime charges.

Verizon's Broadband network is available in more than 170 major metropolitan markets. Users in rural areas should check the availability of the network for their location on the Verizon Wireless Web site.


Storage


The Chocolate comes with 62 MB of phone memory and 63 MB of music memory. For extra storage, the Chocolate's microSD port takes memory cards with up to 4 GB of storage capacity, enabling deep pockets of storage for music, video and pictures. A third storage option for Chocolate owners is to transfer files to a PC using a USB cable.

The phone book lists up to 1,000 contacts, allowing up to 5 numbers, 2 email addresses and a picture ID for each contact.


Connectivity


The Chocolate supports up to 20 Bluetooth pairings, including headsets for handsfree talking without the hassle of dangling wires, as well as Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) stereo headsets for listening to music. Use Bluetooth to access phone books, transfer files or send pictures.

Bluetooth's Object Push Profile (OPP) lets users swap V-cards, while the Serial Port Profile (SPP) can turn the Chocolate into a fax machine.
