The latest flavor of the sweet Chocolate slider arrives in a coat of pink paint, along with stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera and access to V CAST Music and Video.
LG is no stranger to restyling its Chocolate lineup and serving up color choices for the fashion conscious (see: Mint, Cherry and White Chocolate). This time the manufacturer returns to a rosy hue with the Strawberry Chocolate. Ubiquitous pink handsets have recently been overshadowed by red selections, such as the KRZR K1m Fire, the red Samsung A707 and the Red RAZR.
The eye-catching slider maintains its spec list, boasting entertainment options such as stereo Bluetooth, a media player with touch-sensitive external controls, a 1.3-megapixel camera and access to Verizon's V Cast Music and Video. The phone rounds out its feature set with speaker-independent voice dialing, a speakerphone, instant messaging, GPS with VZ Navigator, a microSD memory expansion slot and Verizon’s Chaperone Parent capabilities. The price on this new Chocolate is even sweeter than its other color variants, as Verizon Wireless is dishing it out for $30 less.
