1. Using dumphone instead of featurephone or some similar term. Phones like the Chocolate Touch and enV Touch are not the opposite of a smartphone.

2. Not considering the cost of owning the phone beyond the price of the handset. People would skip over the Droid Eris to buy this phone because phones like these do not require a $30 data plan per phone. Your goddamn right I'd love to by a Droid and so would my wife, but beyond our shared minutes and text, we'd be paying $60 a month for data on two Droid phones or Droid Eris phones. We both own enV Touch phones and SHARE unlimited data on our family plan for about $15.]]>Nov 5th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 6th 2009 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/It works really nicely with my Dare.

@obxKevin - I agree with you - and I think verizon would actually move a lot more Eris units if they offered it without the data plan. As it stands right now I have a feeling the Eris will get passed up by a number of people for the Droid and Passion.]]>Nov 5th 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 5th 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/Nov 6th 2009 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/verizons-blackberry-8530-and-lg-chocolate-touch-go-hands-on/
I also might add that if engadget bothered to take a closer look at this phone, they'd realize what a serious punch the music player in this phone packs. The chocolate line has always been about the music.

I've always been someone to keep my cell phone and my iPod separate, but this phone my just end up replacing my iPod. It really is that good.]]>Nov 10th 2009 5:00PM
