CHOCOLATE

OK. I admit it. I'm totally addicted to chocolate. Wouldn't a chocolate keyboard like this one be nice?

As I said, I love chocolate so when my daughter gave me her Chocolate cell phone, after she had gotten a new one, I was thrilled. No, the phone isn't chocolate color. It is black, but just the name was enough to convince me I wanted to switch my old cell phone for this "chocolate" one. I don't actually use a cell phone very much so I just kind of stored it away in my purse waiting for a time to use it. When I took it out a couple of days ago it was totally dead. I charged it up, but it still wouldn't even try to come on. So, yesterday I took it down to a Verizon store to find out what the problem was. When the guy looked at it, he said, "Oh, those chocolate phones have all kinds of problems." Of course he wanted to sell me a new phone, but I had taken my old phone with me in case this one couldn't be fixed, so I just had him switch my number back to the old phone. I'm sure he was terribly disappointed because he probably thought I would buy a new one and sign a new contract for sure. I fooled him.
So why am I even writing this post? It's because it shows how one can be perfectly happy with what they have until they think they're going to get something better. I was perfectly happy with the phone I had until the chocolate one came along. I'm just wondering if any of you have a LG Chocolate phone and if you have had any problems with it. My daughter said she didn't have any problem with this one at all. Maybe it just didn't like me so it died. I'm still wondering if I got a new battery for it if it would work. Think I'll check into it further. I really like that chocolate phone. Here's a photo.

Post Script:  Took the phone to Best Buy. Turns out it didn't even need a battery. I just wasn't trying to turn it on right. Wouldn't you think I would have found that out at the Verizon store? Wouldn't you think I would have had sense enough to do it right after reading the instructions several times. Oh well, live and learn my Mama always said. LOL
