We've suspected it for a while, and now it's 100 percent confirmed: Verizon's latest Chocolate device, the
Chocolate Touch, takes absolutely zero influence from the lovely
BL40 with which it shares a name. That said, it definitely seems to continue the Chocolate line's music-oriented tradition with an integrated FM radio, dedicated music key, stereo Bluetooth, equalization tech from Dolby Mobile, and a curious "Join the Band" function that lets you add in your own beats to the music with a full on-screen drum kit. It's got a 3.2 megapixel cam, full touch display, and for the impatient among us, the best news might be that it's available today -- yes, today -- for $79.99 on contract after rebate.

Wow... sucks that this thing couldn't have had the nicer BL40 look. Now it just appears to be another cheap looking phone.

Oh wow, they really messed up on this one...
It's not even using the S-Class UI, this is just an uglified LG Cookie/Pop.

Probably one of the ugliest phones ever designed...

Does anyone know if this is a resistive or capacitive touchscreen?
Jazen @ Nov 5th 2009 6:00PM
Its resistive touch, like all the cheap LG touch screen phones.

We found the LG Chocolate Touch at Best Buy for $49 w/2-yr contract on 11-14-2009. So far, 13 hours later, we think they are pretty neat. Hubby calls them "iPhone-Wannabees." But without the required internet access charges. We added minimal data access for $9.99/month to each phone to see if we really wanted it.
Also switched back to lovely Verizon coverage after horrible coverage by AT&T.
