The mobile phone that we know since August this year, the LG VX8600, is going to be released on Verizon, the second biggest American mobile carrier. Unlike the first time we have met it, the next generation Chocolate is coming with a full specification sheet, this being the way that most carriers confirm a very close future release on their network.

The specification sheet discloses the fact that the new and better type of Chocolate is going to have a 176x220 pixel display, a 1.3 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and capable of recording video clips at 15FPS, a multimedia player that will offer support for MP3/WMA audio files and MPEG-4/3GP video clips, external touch sensitive music keys placed under the external display, a 800mAh battery, a microSD memory expansion card slot, wireless Bluetooth connectivity with A2DP stereo support, all of these nicely wrapped up in the famous glossy black case all the Chocolate handsets have.

Official information about the forth coming launch of this mobile device on the Verizon network haven't yet been released, but rumors say that you will be able to get your hands on it beginning with November the 15th, if you agree to pay a price of 229 $ if you sign a service agreement that covers a one year period or 179 $ if you sign for two whole years, with the obvious condition of giving up your mobile freedom during this time.
