Verizon confirms arrival of LG Chocolate in U.S.

Verizon has set up a product website for the LG Chocolate fashion phone, sending the message that Verizon Wireless will be carrying this hot cellphone for residents in the U.S. The website has a Flash plug-in that allows the user to obtain a 360-degree view of the Chocolate phone which is also known as the LG 8500. A quick look at the LG 8500 shows some cosmetic changes from the Korean and European versions. Chief among them are a redesigned D-pad, the relocation of side buttons, the inclusion of a speaker grill, and the removal of the camera’s flash.
