Much like the LG VX8500 Chocolate before it, the LG VX8550 Chocolate comes loaded with a slew of multimedia options. But first, the basics. The VX8550 Chocolate comes with a 500-entry phone book, and each entry can hold five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses. The contacts can be organized into groups, assigned a photo for caller ID, or paired with one of 20 polyphonic ringtones. Other features include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, voice command and dialing, a calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a world clock, a notepad, a tip calculator, plus e-mail and instant messaging. The speakerphone can be activated prior to a call by holding down on the speakerphone key. There's also stereo Bluetooth, which is great for listening to music. You can also use Bluetooth to send business card information, sync contacts and calendars, or be used as a modem with your PC. Since the LG VX8550 Chocolate has 3G, EV-DO support, it's also compatible with Verizon's V Cast streaming video service with the full range of content offerings.

The standout feature of the LG Chocolate is its music player. It supports Verizon's V Cast Music service, meaning you can download songs directly to the phone over the air for $1.99. The price includes a simultaneous download to the PC as well. If you wish to save money, songs downloaded to the PC directly are 99 cents, which you can then transfer to your PC via a USB cable or microSD card. Supported file formats include WMA and MP3. Thanks to the dedicated music key on the right spine, we can activate the music player right away, and navigating with the scroll wheel is very simple, as we mentioned earlier. Music player features include shuffle and repeat modes, several equalizer effects, a music-only mode without any graphics, and the ability to create playlists.

While the previous LG Chocolate did not come with a microSD card or a USB cable, the LG VX8550 Chocolate can be purchased in an entire Music Set. This "Music Set 4.0" includes both the LG Chocolate as well as the Music Essentials 4.0 kit, which has a slew of accessories for your new Chocolate. They include an LG stereo Bluetooth headset, a very impressive 4GB microSD card, an SD card adapter for the microSD card, a USB cable, and Verizon's Music Manager software CD. If you wish to purchase the entire Music Set with the phone included, it's $249.98. The Music Essentials 4.0 kit by itself is $199.99, so it makes economic sense to just get the Music Set. .
