LG Decoy now available from Verizon

The Decoy, that glossy gray slider from LG that looks totally normal until you flip it on its front and realize there's a full-fledged Bluetooth headset hitching a ride on back, is now available for purchase from Verizon. The $179.99 you're shelling out on contract after rebates might seem a little pricey, but when you consider that you don't have to spend any extra for a handsfree, that takes a bit of the edge off.

Thats a pretty terrible name for a phone.

[Omagus Posted Jun 16th 2008 12:39PM]

Agreed. And am I the only one that thinks that this looks like a really, really, really bad copy of a Nokia N95?

WTF are you smoking? This looks nothing like the N95!

So what happens if you don't like the integrated headset?

Maybe it got changed in the development process!

Show me where they said that. Maybe you just WANTED them to say that or that's what you thought. It always looked like that to me. I also think that the name is fine.

If you don't like the bluetooth piece it comes with a cover to put over the hole in the phone.

I was just noticing on http://www.pixycell.com/verizon-decoy-vx8610-cellphone-p-269.html that it has a blue back.
