LG's U830: the Chocolate flip phone?

It looks somewhere between a RAZR and an Ultra Edition, supposedly has a 2 megapixel camera, 200MB internal flash, and Bluetooth: it's supposedly the U830, LG's latest flip which they're showing at IFA. If we're on the right track then perhaps this might turn out to be the fabled Chocolate flip phone of yore. Then again, maybe it won't be, but it's still half decent looking to catch our eye even despite that turbo crappy photo.

Not in the US... Verizon Wireless has Chocolate exclusivity for the life of the phone (at least the current generation). So, if you're a Cingular or T-Mobile user, you'll have to switch to VZW for your Chocolate cravings, crippled phones and all.

that phone, or a phone like that, is already sold here in Brazil as the "Black Safira" (will it be called the "Black Sapphire" in the US?)

i believe the 'u' in the model# means it will be a UMTS phone, and LG does have a music player in Cingular's CU500(also UMTS). VzW's exclusivity is only with that particular chocolate phone, which would have to be redesigned with gsm at least before tmo or cingy would pick it up anyway.

This is the LG KG810 Chocolate flip phone that was introduced in Asia on August 14. It completes the circle of the Chocolate line: KG800 slider, KG320 candy bar, and KG810 flip.

The phone only has a 1.3MP camera and 128MB of memory.

Here's a link that shows the specs and some shots of it in the wild (the media controls on the thing look cool).
