New chocolate?
What does everyone think of the new chocolate?
...
It's pretty cool looking phone. I like the iPod-like scroll wheel and the haptics are a nice touch.
Also feels smaller and sleeker than the 8500.
I have heard some complaints about the Bluetooth and reception though.

I played around with the phone and was pleasantly suprised. I haven't used the phone or the bluetooth though for any calls. It's amazing how the curved edges make it feel smaller and look so much sleeker.

I've had mine for a few weeks now, and in general, I like it a lot.
the screen is nice (equal to my old cdm-9900)
the scroll wheel is nice
the speakerphone is ok (old phone was better)

Thanks for the info...it was really helpful. I didn't like the first chocolate...but I might try to get my hands on this one. I might use it periodically as a music player more than a phone. I have an enV now, which I love, but that phone looks pretty sleek.

Is there a seperate volume control on the headphones? I'm not familiar with that product but that seems like that might be a problem.

nope. that's the problem.
☹️ 😢 😡

I like the design of the phone. The menu and software looks good too. I'm hesitant to sell the phone though. The 8500 took a few months before they started being replaced like crazy. I'm going to reserve judgement on this phone for another 2-3 months.
