Review: LG Chocolate
While there no direct shortcut to a new message dialog, tapping the left soft key brings you to the messaging menu where hitting select starts a new message. As with nearly all CDMA phones, you are asked to address the message first, and then you can compose the text. Since your recipients and menus are displayed while you type your message, the compose window is only a small portion of the screen. Creating a picture message is almost as simple as text messaging, which is impressive.
When receiving messages, an alert is displayed with the sender's phone number and name if there is a match in the phone book. You are given a choice to view the message now or later, but not shown the message in the alert. If you choose to view it immediately, you are taken to the message in the inbox. If you choose to view it later, a message icon is shown in an alert bar directly above the soft key labels.
