LG Chocolate Touch
Verizon Wireless has unveiled the LG Chocolate Touch, a feature phone with a touchscreen display from LG that hopes to push limits as a multimedia device. The Chocolate Touch includes a media player and FM radio tuner for listening to favorites tunes anywhere. Bluetooth lets users listen to songs, movies, or television shows with wireless hands-free headsets and headphones.
With Dolby Mobile, users can make their listening experience better with custom equalizer presets that add spaciousness or natural bass. The sound enhancer can correctly level high-frequency audio and create a consistent volume between tracks. The device also features a unique "Join the Band" application that provides a touchscreen-powered drum kit that users can play with their fingers.
Chocolate Touch users will have access to Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace and they're able to share photos and video captured with the Chocolate Touch's 3.2 megapixel camera, which includes a variety of software features to improve photographs.
The LG Chocolate Touch will be available from Verizon Wireless today, November 5, for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year customer agreement.
