LG VX-8500 Chocolate
what about the exterior keys
This is an interesting looking phone. I'll be up for new every two in about a month. I have a Nokia 6256i which isn't all that old, but when it's in my pocket it always touches the volume or record keys which are on the exterior of the phone. This is a problem.
I like everything else about my Nokia, except the bluetooth range is more like 30 inches than thirty meters. It works further away than 30 inches, but breaks up alot. That may really be the fault of my bluetooth earpiece, a Scala 500, but I'm not sure about that.
How are the exterior keys on the chocolate. How is the bluetooth.

the exterior keys work really well i think. They have "on-screen" indicators as well as the buttons themselves being labeled.

yup, you can also ditch the on screen indicators if you want, i left them on i think they look kinda cool.
...
i agree.
My one beef at this point is the volume adjustment during a call, as far as I can tell when I change the volume during a call the 'touch buttons' become active so then the up/down touch buttons hit my face and change the volume too... annoying, maybe there is a better way...

I was worried about the side keys accidentally being hit when it was in my pocket too, but ive been pleasantly surprised.
They're set flush with the rest of the case, so they dont stick out at all. Plus, they have a nice tension to them which helps prevent unintentional presses.
I havent had to change the volume mid-call yet, but if i do and find another solution, ill let you know.

As far as the outside keys accidentally being pressed, what's nice is the keys lock after a few seconds, so even if they did get pressed, it wouldn't change anything.
