LG Dare
From the sleek, slim appearance, to the all touch-screen operation, the LG
Dare will be the talk of the season. Loaded with multimedia functionality,
this 3G V CAST-capable phone has VZ Navigator(SM), V CAST Music, and a 3.2
megapixel still and video camera that automatically adapts to low or unevenly
distributed light for better quality pictures. The photo editing tool lets
customers turn their photos into personal masterpieces with features that
include borders, landscape and a fun doodle feature right on the screen.
Customized photos can be uploaded to a social networking site directly from
the phone. The intuitive and graphical contact list allows customers to find
the right number with the flick of a finger for speedy texting, e-mailing and
phoning. Favorite contacts can be reached with a drag and drop photo
interface. Additional information on the LG Dare will be available later this
month.
LG Decoy
A dream for the multi-tasking consumer, the glossy front and satin back LG
Decoy is the world's first phone to have a Bluetooth(R) hands-free headset
integrated into the design. The headset flips into the back of the device for
easy transport and charging. The slider phone also sports a five-way
directional joystick for easy navigating through all of Verizon Wireless'
multimedia features such as V CAST Music and V CAST Video. Customers planning
to hit the road this summer can download VZ Navigator on the Decoy to get
visual and audible directions to thousands of destinations, locate businesses
and other points of interest, get maps of a location, and share directions
with others. The Decoy will be in stores on June 16.
LG Chocolate 3
Chocolate gets even sweeter this summer, and the latest iteration of this
iconic mobile music phone is even more stylish and functional than its
predecessors. The new LG Chocolate 3 trades in its slider form factor for a
slim flip style that brings with it the quintessential music player complete
with control wheel on the outside and an FM transmitter to play music through
a car stereo. The new Chocolate is the perfect MP3 player for listening and
accessing more than 3 million songs from Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music
library. It has dual speakers and Bluetooth for wireless stereo sound, and
inside is a Gigabyte* of memory to store the latest tunes. Add in the option
of expandable memory with an 8 GB microSD(TM) card, and customers can pack
thousands of songs onto this new version of a rock solid winner. The new
Chocolate has a 2.0 megapixel camera, so customers can capture the best of
summer fun to share with friends. The phone also supports V CAST Video and
ESPN MVP, making this marquee mobile music device more than just another
phone. The LG Chocolate 3 will be in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores
