With all the hub-bub these days surrounding the Motorola DROID and HTC DROID Eris, Verizon has taken the chance to launch a new device quite quietly, amongst all the noise made by the DROID insanity. Which device? Well, I’m talking about the LG Chocolate Touch. Available for $79.99 (after $50 rebate) on a 2-year contract, the Chocolate Touch (love that name) features a 3″ touchscreen, comes pre-installed with VZ Navigator, V CAST Music and Video, oh, and there’s a 3.2MP camera on-board as well. You’ll also get visual voicemail and a convenience key all tricked-out to help you pull up your favorite social networks.

The LG Chocolate Touch also comes complete with Dolby Mobile… A setup that apparently ‘produces an audio quality that rivals MP3 players’. Oh goody. 1GB of internal memory is slated for music, and if that isn’t enough room you can expand up to 16GB with a microSD card (not included).

My initial impressions? Meh. Yeah, DROID does sound a little bit better. I love to eat chocolate, but I’d be hesitant to ever use it as my ‘daily driver’.

Check out the LG Chocolate Touch for yourself at Verizon Wireless.

    I’ve had my Chocolate Touch because it came out. I utilized to have a Razr. I’ve been searching around at the filesystem on Bitpim and just started putting flash wallpapers on it. I’ve also checked to see how EnV Touch themes appear on it. I’d like to commence attempting to make themes and wallpapers in Adobe Flash CS4. But I just commenced, so it’ll possibly be awhile before I get anything. Tongue
