I currently have Verizon Wireless and I have been in dire need of a new phone. My current phone is an LG VX7000 and I have had it for about 2 years now. My phone before that was an LG VX6000 which had its fate sealed when I ran over it with my car (it was an accident). I have had pretty good luck with LG phone and tend to like them. But my current phone seems to be dieing a slow and painful death. I can no longer keep the battery charged which is very annoying. I will say though that the phone has been thru a lot of abuse. I have thrown it, stepped on it, dropped it, had water on it, and so on and she keeps pull thru.

Anyways on to my point. I had heard a couple months back that Verizon was going to be bring LG’s Chocolate phone (VX 8500) to the states and was quite excited because I had heard good things about it when it was released in Korea. Though the look of the phone changed slightly most of the features where intact and even some new features where added which was a nice surprise. This is really only the second phone which Verizon had released that actually has a “cool” factor, the first being the Motorola RAZR which everyone and there mother now has… including my mother.

So this month I will be getting the “New Every Two” where every two year they give you a $100 credit on your account to get a new phone and I have to decide what new phone I’m going to get. I think I was leaning towards the Chocolate phone but I think it may be a bit big which I do not like.

I sort of wanted a Windows Mobile phone but I don’t like any of the ones Verizon has. There is one that Cingular has, Cingular 8125 Pocket PC, which is small compact and had a QWERYT keyboard that slides out. But I’m not really ready to switch wireless providers just to get a phone.

So I’m not sure if I should wait and see what happens or just jump in and get the Chocolate phone.
