Chocolate
On the subject of disappointing cell phones with tasty names, here's the original LG Chocolate. The trendy, music-player-like phone was synched with Verizon's much-hyped V-Cast mobile media service and was equipped with GPS features and a decent camera?considered a rival to Motorola's hip phones as well as others from carriers like Helio.

Unfortunately, customer feedback indicated that it just didn't work all that well, and though sales of the Chocolate have been decent, many owners were left with a sugary hangover.
