Why you shouldn't buy an LG Chocolate...
What you are looking at are photos of my brothers LG Chocolate. He purchased this phone less than 2 months ago, even though I tried to talk him into buying a RAZR or KRZR. He accidentally dropped it once, it was fine. After this, regular use of the phone ended up breaking it. This is what the phone looked like yesterday after retrieving it from his locker at school.
He bought the phone when the store wasn't having a spectacular deal. $192 for the phone, $400 for the deposit. He thankfully got the insurance with the phone, but to get a new one he has to shell out another $50 just to get another LG Chocolate. Long story short, don't get expensive slider phones, they suck.
