LG Chocolate Touch
(Credit: Verizon Wireless)We've been waiting for months for Verizon to finally unveil the latest in the line of LG Chocolate phones, and it's here at last. The LG Chocolate Touch VX8575 is officially available today, making it the first touch-screen version of the Chocolate phone lineup. As we suspected, it's very different from the LG BL40 and looks a lot more like the other LG touch-screen handsets we've seen, like the LG Dare for example.
The Chocolate Touch continues the Chocolate tradition of music-specialized phones, with music features like the Dolby Mobile equalizer, an FM radio, integrated song ID, stereo Bluetooth, and even a unique "Join the Band" feature that lets you play around with a full drum kit and a scrolling 88-key keyboard. Other features include quick access to social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, EV-DO Rev. 0, a full HTML browser, and a 3.2-megapixel camera with settings like intelligent shot (for improved quality) and panorama shot (for three guided sequential shots).
The phone is available now for $79.99 with a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year agreement. The rebate will be in the form of a debit card.

I have an LG Touch screen......and sadly i must agree with you. I don't understand how these touchscreens get out of quality control when they can go buy an iPod touch for $200 and see what a real touch screen should act and operate like.
Share your review on this phone if you own one at http://www.Chocolate-Touch.com I will be checking the site often. Thanks.

- Ive been checking this phone out in person.Its actually a whole lot nicer than it looks here. The touch screen is a reasonable size and responds to my touch very well. This is defenitely one of my top picks.
