A week ago it was told here that the upcoming LG Chocolate 3 was going to be available July 14th together with LG Dare and LG Decoy . But, the Chocolate 3 will actually be launching this Sunday, July 13 for the expected $129.99 after rebate.
The new Chocolate is unique for its series, as it comes in a clamshell form factor (the previously released Chocolate handsets were sliders). Like other handsets compatible with Verizon’s V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, the Chocolate 3 will be able to download songs from a library of over 5 million DRM-free tracks. The provider’s V CAST Video and ESPN MVP services will be offered, with pre-installed applications including Mobile Web, Mobile E-Mail, Mobile IM, VZ Navigator, Chaperone.
Users will get 1GB of built-in memory, an internal 2.2 inch TFT display (260K colors and 320 x 240 pixels), an external 1.76 inch screen with the same number of colors but only 176 x 220 pixels, a Flash UI, Music and Video players with dedicated external keys, a 3.5 mm headset jack, a 2.0 Megapixel camera with video recording, FM radio and FM transmitter, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, email, Web browser, multimedia messaging, USB and so on. LG Chocolate 3 packs an 800 mAh battery that, theoretically, should keep it functional for up to 4.5 hours in talk-time mode and up to 350 hours in stand-by mode. The handset will be available in two color versions (black and light blue) from all the Verizon Wireless Communications Stores across the US, as well as online, via Verizon’s official website.
