Hmm more Chocolate. That’s what Verizon is preparing for its customers. Apparently, these leaked photos present the next step in the evolution of the popular LG VX8500 phone, also known as LG Chocolate. As you can see from the images bellow, Verizon may have another hit device. The improved Chocolate will be available in black, red and blue “flavors”. Furthermore, it will be slicker and will have an enhanced UI — or at least that’s what we can see from the photos. (via: engadget)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    I have seen it in person. So hot. It smacks the 8500 in the face, and spits on it.

    Aside from getting a redesign, I hope they do something about the hyper-sensitive touch keys. My chief complaint with the touch-sensitive controls is my prone-ness to accidental inputs.

    Maybe it just takes getting used to – or I’m just a fumbling idiot :cool:
