The new version, the LG Chocolate VX8550 for Verizon, looks just as sweet and packs more functionality into its minimalist slider design. The dual-band Chocolate (CDMA 800/1900) runs on Verizon’s Wireless digital networks and transmits data using high-speed EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) frequency

Combining beautiful design with rich functionality, the LG VX8550 won’t disappoint fans who have sampled the first LG Chocolate and are eager to come back for a second taste. Its rounded contours and streamlined form, the sleek, sexy LG Chocolate VX8550 takes its cues from art deco design.

Chocoholics will find the phone slimmer and lighter than its predecessor while enjoying many of the same features, such as the phone’s 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, Bluetooth capability, and access to Verizon’s VCAST multimedia at ultrafast 3G connection speeds. A mirror is positioned next to the lens for centering self-portraits. The camera shoots in three different resolutions, 1280 x 960 px, 640 x 480 px and 320 x 240 px.

The Chocolate’s lustrous sheen resembles a piano finish which attracts fingerprints easily and is available in three colors, or rather flavors: Blue Mint, Black or Black Cherry. LG Chocolate (VX8550) comes with a standard 800 mAh Li-Ion Battery, AC Charger, Headset Adapter, and User Manual. Verizon also offers a Chocolate “Music Set,” featuring additional accessories such as a Stereo Headset, Music Manager Software, USB Cable, and a 4.0 GB microSD memory card and adapters.

The designers added a much-needed speakerphone function to their updated version and fitted it with a user-friendly scroll wheel for easier navigation as well as a vibrating touch keypad. The camcorder shoots in MP4, 3GP and 3G2 formats and includes settings for recording time (30 seconds for video emails or up to 1 hour), color effects and white balance. Users have the option of setting videos under 5 MB in size as wallpaper.
