I picked up my Chocolate touch yesterday November 7th 2009. so far I like it. it is a little difficult to type on, and it doesn't seem to support T9.
The wall charger can also be used to connect to a computer and download songs, ring tones, etc. Be careful, when I sent new ring tones to my phone it wiped my phone book using bitpim. Since there wasn't a drive set up for the vx8575 I used the one for the Chocolate 3 VX8550 and it seemed to work well except the phonebook part. I tried to back up my phonebook first but it didn't work for some reason.
