The long waited and rumor surrounded LG VX8600 flip Chocolate has been launched today by the American wireless carrier Verizon. The handset enters the present line-up of phones offered by the carrier and heads right in front of the row due to its sophisticated and sexy looks and the impressive specifications sheet.

LG could have invested more high-tech in this handset but it has probably resumed to the present configuration because if they would have added even more goodness in it, the price would have cast away all the potential customers. But anyway, who's complaining?

The dual-band CDMA mobile phone that works on 850 and 1900 MHz networks will offer its users an internal 262k colors LCD display with a resolution of 176x220 pixels, an external 65k colors TFT display working at a resolution of 160x128 pixels, A-GPS support (the same kind that the newly arrived Motorola V325i offers but in much better looking body), EV-DO high speed data transfers, the famous external touch-sensitive music keys, a music player capable of playing MP3 and WMA audio files, a one-touch speakerphone, voice dialing, TTY compatibility, wireless Bluetooth 1.1 connectivity with support for serial port, dial-up networking, headset, file transfer, audio/video remote control, hands-free, advanced audio distribution and object push profiles for vCard, a microSD memory expansion card slot, all of these heart-warming features coming together with Verizon enabled services like the V CAST Music and the V CAST Video that will offer the greatest multimedia experience a mobile phone is capable of (at least on the Verizon network).

One could get this beauty home from the Verizon store if ready to pay the retail price of 179.99 $ or to sign a two year service agreement and after a 50 $ discount, to get it for only 129.99 $. The choice is yours and you should hurry up until all of them are "kidnapped" by the Chocolate hungry Verizon users.
