Yeah, I don't know why they need these phones.

5 phones world wide .. extremely slim but it could make somebody $10,000 richer.

I absolutely hated my Chocolate .. I had it replaced 2 times .. I never thought phone insurance from Verizon would actually pay off.

I forgot to get mine back from Verizon when I bought my new phone. They were transferring contacts from it to my new phone and I was in such a hurry I just left when it was done without getting it back.

Wonder what its serial number was...

It seems like if you have one of those you've got one of Willy Wonka's five golden tickets that were hidden inside an LG Chocolate

lol I used to work at a cell phone store a couple of years back and the Chocolate was a piece of shit. The first few Chocolates we got in, I was setting them up for some customers and they just wouldn't program or they would crash. We had 20 of them initially and we had to send back 6-7 of them. My mom also got one despite my warnings and she hated it.
