Verizon have just come up with the news that LG Chocolate 3 will be available a day earlier, July 13. They’re pretty proud of the candybar phone’s Verizon Rhapsody interlink, and the “all-in-one” nature of the gizmo as a PMP, cellphone, GPS navigator, camera and car-stereo FM source. It’ll be available in black or light blue, for $129.99 after a $50
