Browse

Browsing Verizon's portal on the Chocolate's QVGA screen finally feels right. The screen displays a large amount of information at once without the need to scroll - or to squint.

Not only can you browse outside of Verizon's portal, but the browser now has an option in the menu to enter a URL. You no longer need to browse to a specific page on Verizon's site to leave.

Customize

The home screen can be customized nearly completely. The wallpaper can be customized with any picture or movie stored on the phone or memory card. The network banner can be changed, and you can pick from a variety of clock readouts. Additionally, themes that use the original menu system allow you to choose from one of 6 colors for the status and menu bars.

It is difficult, but not impossible to put your own MP3 ringtone on the Chocolate. However you can only use one of your own custom ringtones at a time. So you cannot keep a library of your own ringtones available to customize the ring for different callers. Verizon, of course, offers a large library of ringtones for sale. Unfortunately not even purchased music can be used as ringtones, let alone MP3s on your memory card.

File Management

Downloaded applications and phone customizations are managed from the Get It Now menus. You must find the file or application in its appropriate sub menu (Get Going, Get Extras, Get Tones, etc.) in order to delete it or do anything beyond selecting a wallpaper or ringtone. Pictures, videos and music are each managed from within their respective player applications.
