LG's VX8550 Chocolate phone looks tasty, just as its predecessor did. Aesthetically, the shiny, piano-black unit closely resembles the KG800, first released last year. The one obvious difference in this front view: The VX8550 eschews its button-oriented navigational ring for a navigational wheel that moves around. The Chocolate's top level slides up to reveal the phone's keypad. In addition to the standard alpha-numeric keys, LG has added an extra row of buttons--send, camera, and end/power--that were absent in the previous iterations of the Chocolate. The change is a positive one: It puts standard cell phone buttons (send and end) where you'd expect them. However, relocating the power button beneath the slider means that if the phone is off, to use it for other functions (such as playing music) you have to first push up the slider so you can power up.
