Just got a new phone...
Just got an LG Chocolate, haven't read much about them on this forum, so thought I'd mention it 
Phone is brilliant doing phone type stuff (ie making calls, texting). Touch screen is very easy to use, the glossy phone surface shows every little finger print.
Feels a bit more classy than my old V3, and better built. Texting isn't quite as easy, but I think thats more to do with me not being used to a slide phone.

And what good, exactly, is a 2Mp+ sensor that's stuck behind a fuzzy blob of glass that's most likely made of recycled milk bottles?
The megapixel race that happened with cameras and now seems to be happening with camera phones really p*sses me off sometimes. More pixels are just a waste of money and memory capacity unless the optics are good enough, which in an ultra-slim product that's made to a price, they won't be - guaranteed.

Not sure I fully agree.
I think they are getting much better, these are a few random pics I just
pulled of a 2mpix K750... The 2 scenic ones were taken from a moving vehicle.
The new Sony 3 mpix with the carl zeiss lens will presumably be much better
though.

Anyone else got comments on this phone? Upgraded the wife today (if only
) to a 6111 and was eyeing up these. Look quite good and I could u/grade my phone np.Whats the software like? Easy to use? Is it flimsy? Battery life?
Any other comments?
