BASKING
RIDGE, N.J. – For the hottest looks and coolest
features in wireless phones this summer, Verizon
Wireless is expanding its LG line-up with three
devices that offer unique features with loads of
possibilities. The LG Dare™, LG Decoy™ and the
new LG Chocolate™ 3 are scheduled for their
debut on the nation’s most reliable wireless
network through July.
“These
summer phones join our other popular LG phones –
the enV2™, the Voyager™
and the Venus™ – to offer our customers an array
of applications, downloadable games, music and
other content that is unparalleled in its
variety and ability to enhance customers’
lifestyles,” said Mike Lanman, vice president
and chief marketing officer for Verizon
Wireless. “By unveiling these devices now, we
are giving our customers the opportunity to
choose the device that’s right for them, backed
by the most reliable wireless network in the
nation.”
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 NavigatorSM, 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® hands-free
headset integrated into the design. The headset
slips 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™ 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 and
available online in July.
