Verizon LG Chocolate Touch Availability Announced

Tweet

Yesterday we had a look at Verizon’s Holiday Lineup, but since BlackBerry Curve2 got our whole attention we somehow missed the new LG Chocolate Touch. But we’re getting back to it today, as we caught wind that the Chocolate Touch is expected to show up in Verizon Wireless stores in about two weeks — which is a few days after the November 6 store availability for Motorola’s Droid, so makes sense to give Caesar what is Caesar’s.

For those who can’t remember it, the LG Chocolate Touch is an average smartphone with a WVGA touchscreen display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, EV-DO Rev. 0, a 3.5mm headset jack and a HTML Web browser. There’s also Visual Voicemail, VZ Navigator, corporate email and some form of limited multitasking support. On top of that there’s a rather solid battery that should provide enough for up to 306 minutes of talking time or 470 hours while in stand-by.

Far from being thrilled as we’re more into full-featured smartphones that can be used for almost everything, give it the right pricing and Verizon will see some good sales on the new LG Chocolate Touch.
