LG accidentally announces Verizon VX8600 Chocolate flip!

Oops! Dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's is a painstaking process, we know, LG... we don't fault you in the least for leaking press shots (accidentally, we presume) for your VX8600 at CTIA. It looks like the official fact sheet slipped through your fingers, too: EV-DO, internal 220 x 176 and external 160 x 128 displays, Bluetooth 1.1 with A2DP, microSD expansion, and a real, actual speakerphone this time around -- nothing we didn't know or suspect already. Now go get your stern talking-to from Verizon, make amends, and we'll be talking to you shortly when this thing actually goes official.

It looks like my pocket will be making a new friend soon. This brick phone XV6700 is weighing me down. LG, I'm coming home!

funny how verizon heavily promoted the touchpad for the default buttons and now just put it on the front (like the v3x). let's hope this doesn't have the LG bluetooth echoing problem and horrible battery life. at least it won't have the overly sensitive microphone that chocolate had because of it's candybar shape.

A very nice looking phone it just has to pass the reception benchmark, and is it the width of the RAZR or KRZR?

Bluetooth 1.1 is a bit of a disappointment. But overall looks pretty "sweet".

Does anyone know how to make music recieved via bluetooth into a ringtone? It automatically gets saved in "My sound album", but how do i make it a ringtone?

Try sending yourself a picture message but send the sound. How do you receive music through blue tooth?
