As its name hints, the LG Chocolate phone has a smooth and silky look, like a bar of fine dark chocolate. Nothing rises up on the front face to break the smooth surface, except the jog-wheel keypad that has a slightly raised rim and some texture on the wheel itself for better control of the keypad. The silver LG and Verizon branding and the wheel rim compliment the shinny black cover elegantly. You will need to open the slider to use the number keys and when the slider is open, the keypad on the front face lights up in blood red, revealing the touch sensitive control buttons. While the smooth and luscious surface is very attractive, it doe show fingerprints like crazy which tarnish the shinny look.
When talking about the Chocolate, one must mention the touch sensitive keypad controls which are the first we have seen on a cell phone. The touch-wheel controls look much like a smaller version of the iPod click-wheel, but they’re much more sensitive than those found on iPod (though you can change the sensitivity level) and will require more practice to master. The 5-way navigation circle is large enough to control with your thumb comfortably. The 4 directional pads have some texture compared to the smooth center OK button. The circular navigation controls go very well with the circular on-screen menu layout instead of the usually grid menu layout.
