LG Chocolate or Sidekick 3 (Limited Edition)??

[bling*diva*]

~~Which one would be the best option?? I'm looking for a phone that is stylish, functional, and not too trendy. I want to keep it for the full two years, and want something reliable. Also, the service factor comes into play; Verizon (LG Chocolate) or T-Mobile (Sidekick 3)?? Does anyone have one of these, or could offer some advice?? Thanks in advance!!

I voted for the chocolate ONLY because we''ve had verizon for like 7 years and we''ve always been happy with them!

I hate my LG phone. I don''t think they are as well made as other brands.

BingDiva, where I live there is a VAST difference in T-mobile''s network vs. Verizon''s. It wouldn''t make any sense to go with T-mobile here unless you didn''t plan to make calls outside of a very limited area. For that reason, I don''t think it''s ever wise to choose a two-year wireless phone plan based on phones. You really need to figure out which service is best for you and then choose the phone you like best for that service.

That said, we''ve had four different models of LG phones in our family (though not the Chocolate) and have had very good experiences with all of them.

~~Thanks for the input Maria D!!! I have had Verizon in the past, and love their service...my best friend has T-Mobile, and loves it too. She hasn''t had any problems yet, but you never know. I probably will end up with the LG...

gota point - I have an lg phone and I hate it - but it''s a bus line so I don''t use it much.... my main phone is a treo 650 and it''s okay.

I have a Sidekick 3. I like it. It''s great for texting and instant messaging, but I told my FI the other day, if I were to do it all over again - I wouldn''t get the Sidekick. I see why the kids love it. It''s OK but I don''t love it.

I''d go with LG Chocolate if I were you! Just my two cents.
