14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is expected to add to its offering this year another appealing LG handset, the LG VX8575, which also surfaced on the Internet under the name of Chocolate Touch. The mobile phone has already passed through FCC's hallways and has been spotted in a series of images a while ago, yet now a new set of photos with it are available for your viewing pleasure.
For what it's worth, the LG VX8575 Chocolate Touch seems to come to Big Red's airwaves as a quite attractive handset, and the new images that surfaced into the wild via phone Arena are set to prove just that. For the time being there are no exact details on when the device will actually reach the market, yet one should expect it to land before the end of the year, it seems.
The specification list of the mobile phone include WVGA TFT display, as well as a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, a 3.5mm headset jack, HTML browser, music player and multitasking capabilities. At the same time, it seems that the handset will bear a lot of music features, with its menu shaped up in this direction, and that its Internet capabilities might also be enhanced, as the piece on the news site says there will be a “direct link to Microsoft's Bing search page.”
These are about all the specs currently emerged on the Chocolate Touch. Those of you who might have followed the handset through the latest rumors and reports should already have an idea on what it is all about and might also know that it has nothing to do with the latest Chocolate handsets LG put on display lately, namely the BL40 or BL20.
Here's a short version of LG VX8575 Chocolate Touch's history provided by phone Arena: “a few weeks ago the first images of the Chocolate Touch appeared, and it was apparent that it was not a BL40 cousin. In fact, our source within Verizon told us that there was two prototype models of the VX8575. One of them closely resembled the BL40, but 'focus groups' didn't care for that style of phone, so it was scrapped and the "other" VX8575 is what will be released.”
