I haven't seen the handset in person yet, but on the Verizon website it looks awesome. I'm not to fond of teh Chocolate series though

I had a friend with the Chocolate, and I tried it out. I simply couldn't get comfortable with that touch sensitive pad. More importantly, I've got bigger hands and text a lot; the size of the phone didn't work for me. Basically, it's not the phone for me.

I'll note that the VX8350 also came out in red; new colors = more sales no matter what?

Mint Green and Cherry Red worked on the last generation Chocolate, but for some reason brighter colors don't look as nice on the new "sweeter" Chocolate. I haven't seen it yet in person, though (will tomorrow, if it's available in stores!).

And it's funny that Verizon has slowly abandoned the whole "flavor" gimmick. First was the Chocolate, and then the White Chocolate - so far, so good. Then, the Mint Chocolate, Cherry Chocolate, and Strawberry Chocolate - a bit of a stretch, but it makes sense. Then comes the second-generation Chocolate with black, black cherry, and "blue mint." Since when was mint blue? And now "Blue Ice"? WTF?

That said, I do like the "new" Chocolate. Yeah, it's really what the original should have been, IMO (the scroll wheel actually rotates this time!) and since I'm looking to switch to Verizon, I might just pick one up if I decide I can live without QWERTY. (If I can't, it's an enV for me - the Voyager is hot, but the whole point of me switching onto my family's Verizon plan is to save money. )
