I just read a review of the Chocolate…

[http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articleArchive/aug2006/chocolatephonesflawed.php](http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articleArchive/aug2006/chocolatephonesflawed.php)

Summary: ipod-like wheel that is either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, and you can’t push the wheel like the ipod. Only comes with 64MB of memory unless you buy the $100 1GB memory card, which has to load every song every time you turn the phone on (ie, a lot longer wait time). Has a built in speaker, so you don’t need headphones. The “end” button used to end calls/turn off the phone/etc is a small button on the side of the phone. The reviewer had a lot of problems playing mp3s or viewing pictures that he loaded onto it. Only a small percentage of them actually worked properly. It seems more geared towards buying and downloading from VZW.
