Verizon adds "Blue Ice" to Chocolate's palette

Pretty much everyone under Verizon's huge, red umbrella has been staring longingly at the LG Voyager as of late, but if you remember, LG's got an established big seller in Verizon's stable that it's gotta worry about, too. The VX8550 Chocolate slider has added another color (or flavor, if you buy into Verizon's marketing scheme) in time to pick up a holiday sale or two: "Blue Ice." It's currently on sale at Circuit City with direct sales following on next Friday, December 7 for $80 after a $50 rebate.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

I like it but I wouldn't buy it...

Not bad, not bad.....but I'm a purest and my (now obsolete) VX8500 is of the purest black.

I meant to say "purist"

The VZW Kiosks inside Circuit City are "direct", as in they are corporate VZW stores but they do often run separate sales from the standalone VZW stores.

Btw, the $79.99 is at Circuit City only, standalone stores will have it for $99.99.

Meh, the Black or Red Chocolate is the better shade.

Isn't Blue Ice the stuff that falls from airplane lavatories?

Any idea if this is a holiday-only color or should it continue to be available in the Spring? I was all set to upgrade to the Blue Mint in March, but now....*drool*...

The menu color doesn't match it.

Will there be a pink one coming out?
