LG Chocolate 3 launched early at Verizon

July 12th, 2008

Despite having an official launch date of the 14th, it appears that you can splash out a whole day earlier if you’re into the LG Chocolate 3 from Verizon aka the VX8560. Not sure if a whole 24 hours will make any difference to their sales, but their marketing department obviously think so! Here’s a breakdown of what you can get your mits on

* 2 Mp camera (still and vid)
* GPS
* 3.5 mm headphone jack
* black or light blue colour choice
* 1 GB internal memory
* microSD slot (up to 8 GB)
* built-in FM transmitter
* 2.2 inch 320 x 240 res internal display
* 1.76 inch 176 x 220 res external display
* integrated stereo speakers
* Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity

The LG Chocolate 3 certainly has all the bells and whistles, we quite like the built in FM transmitter. It’s price tag is US$130 after mail in rebate but that’s hooked up with a two year plan. US$300 will get you an unshackled version of this puppy.
