LG Chocolate Sweetened [not for me]

Submitted by DA on Wednesday, 2 August 20063 Comments

LG Chocolate LG VX8500 is out in US. Verizon is selling it.

Comeon guys at LG, you should have atleast given us some clues about this upcoming model. I just spent a fortune on this phone last month and you have already released a new one out with all the features I needed. I wrote a glam review of the original ‘Chocolate‘, but seems now LG is hell bent on squeezing our money out of our pockets. LG should take leaf from Nokia and publish some info on upcoming mobile phones.

I dont know if I should go for the new ‘Chocolate‘ and get another shock in just cpl of weeks or I should try to buy this one too.

    DA,

    First off, thanks for your original review.

    It’s worth pointing out that the VX8500 is available only in the US market and, although it possesses the same ‘chocolate’ pet name as the first phone in LG’s new Black Label series, it isn’t actually part of that series.

    The second handset in the Black Label series will be launched early next year and will come with a completely different design and features, so your investment in the original chocolate phone is safe until then.

    The only additions to the original chocolate phone are some color (pink and white) and design variations available later this year.

    Keep checking our blog for the latest info: http://chocolate.lgbloggers.com

    [...] Writing recently on the ChillNite blog and in our comments, DA called us out for not publishing information on upcoming mobile phones. [...]
