The eye-catching music slider arrives in a new white flavor but packs in the same features, including V Cast support, a 1.3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and memory expansion.
LG made a splash back in August with the release of the VX8500 Chocolate (read our full review), and now the company is back with a white version of the 3G-enabled music slider. The White Chocolate boasts the same features as the original Chocolate phone, including a snazzy Flash interface, support for V Cast streaming video and music downloads, stereo Bluetooth, microSD memory expansion, a 1.3-megapixel camera and touch-sensitive music controls (which we found tricky to use during our tests).
