Verizon Offers New Chocolate Flavors

With its latest addition of Cherry and Mint Chocolate handsets from LG Electronics, Verizon Wireless now offers its customers four flavors of chocolate.

The new cherry- and mint-colored handsets offer the same features as the original chocolate-colored phone, which offers a hidden LCD screen and touch-keypad controls that glow red when in use. The handset also comes equipped with an MP3/AAC music player, 128 megabits of onboard memory, a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and a video camera. The Chocolate handset was recently launched in a white finish as well.

LG has said the Chocolate phone is on pace to ship 6 million units before the end of the year. The handset initially made its debut in South Korea, followed Europe in May and the U.S. in August.

The LG Chocolate made its first appearance in the U.S. through a deal with Verizon. Beginning Friday, Nov. 24, Verizon Wireless will begin offering Chocolate by LG at a new price point of $99.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year customer agreement.

In other Verizon news, the carrier is teaming with Si TV, a network that delivers general entertainment content for America’s young Latino audience, to launch two new V CAST channels: “Si TV Comedy” and “Si TV Latino.” In addition to the featured clips updated daily from various shows such as “Unacceptable Behavior,” “The Drop” and “Latino Laugh Festival,” Si TV also plans to deliver exclusive made-for-mobile content based on its show lineup. Si TV targets the 18-34 year-old Latinos with over 60% of original programming, Verizon Wireless says.

The V CAST VPak subscription runs $15.00 a month, or customer can access multimedia content on a daily basis for a fee of $3 per day.
