Verizon Launches the LG Choclate & Eliminates V Cast Fee

July 31, 2006 11:17 AM | Verizon | Comments (0)

Verizon Wireless, announced today the debut of Chocolate by LG. The Chocolate is loaded with hot features, such as V CAST, V CAST Music, and  tools like VZ NavigatorSM, all packaged within a smooth slider design.

Chocolate by LG is a work of art – both in looks and features – with its sleek, ultra-thin minimalist style and silky-smooth slide design, users will be lured in by Chocolate’s glowing red touch sensitive keypad.

V CAST Music customers can browse, preview, download and play high-quality digital music from their phones over Verizon Wireless’ broadband network or in the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music online store. With more than 1.3 million songs to choose from, Verizon Wireless customers can download the songs they love most, accessing their music collection anywhere they go.

Verizon Wireless has also announced the elimination the need for customers to subscribe to the V CAST VPak for $15 per month to use V CAST Music.


Now, anyone with a V CAST Music-enabled phone can pay-as-they-go to download songs on their phone for $1.99 per song plus airtime, download songs to their Windows XP® PC for as little as $0.99 and transfer their existing compatible digital music collection to their V CAST Music-enabled phone or memory card for free from their PC. Purchases from the phone include two copies of every song – one for the phone and one for the Windows XP PC. In addition, V CAST Music customers with Chocolates can listen to their existing mp3 files, a new functionality enabled by new V CAST Music software on the phone.

Chocolate is taking the global handset market by storm, selling more than 1 million units since its international launch outside Korea and has won two global design awards (the 2006 iF Design Award and Reddot Design Award for its unique styling and user interface).
