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 VX8500 White ChocolateLG 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).

  • CDMA/EV-DO
  • 262,000-color display
  • Bluetooth (with stereo headset profile)
  • V Cast support
  • microSD memory expansion
  • 1.3-megapixel camera
  • Touch-sensitive music controls

  • Measures 3.8 by 1.9 by 0.7 inches, 3.5 ounces
