LG Chocolate 3

Knowing well LG and its Chocolate line, it comes as no surprise that its new Chocolate 3 will be available in a few color variants. Announcing the model, VZW released images of the black variant only, but on one of its less popular sites, LG has shown also a light blue option. In this version, the keypad and the music wheel on the front are in silver instead of in gunmetal gray.

Having in mind the image was shown on the announcement day, it is highly probable that both color options will be available at the time of the launch , which is expected to happen sometime next month.

LG Chocolate 3 is a clamshell. Although it has the same model name, it is not slider as the first two generations (VX8500 and 8550). It is still a music-centric device with large control keys on the front, when closed. It also features a 2-megapixel camera and two color displays, as well as microSD slot for memory.

The latest LG handset from the Chocolate series, namely LG Chocolate 3, planned to be released in the US by Verizon Wireless, will be available in two colors: black and blue. The black version was already unveiled by Verizon, in the press release announcing the new handset, while the blue one was (apparently) kept secret.

Well, compared to the black Chocolate 3, the blue one looks more girlish, hence it will probably be successful among female mobile users.


Succeeding Verizon's previous Chocolate phones, which were sliders, the new Chocolate 3 comes with a clamshell design and more advanced features (not too advanced, though). The main resemblance between Chocolate 3 and the previous Chocolate handsets is the big and round navigation pad, situated on the front case of the new clamshell.


LG Chocolate 3 will hit the US market sometime in July, for a price that was not yet announced by Verizon. The handset is part of Verizon's new line-up of LG phones, which also includes LG Decoy (already available) and the high-end, full-touch LG Dare, which should be released by the end of this month.
