There's no reason to assume that this 8650 is going to replace the Chocolate.

This picture was just revealed today, on Hofo, with no accompanying information.

If anything, I'd guess this will replace the 8700.

FUK YES!!!!
I'm relieved after seeing these high quality photos. The low quality one posted earlier made me think the VX9700 was going to be gay!

The AT&T Vu has a 2MP cam and Mobile TV MediaFLO. The VX9700 has a 3.2MP camera and no Mobile TV MediaFLO.

This is not going to be an attempt at replacing the chocolate I don't think. I work for VZ Dub and as far as I know, the 8610 is supposed to be the next Chocolate. But I don't know for sure cuz as far as I know the 8610 is not really meant to be an all out music phone....so I guess maybe neither of these will replace the chocolate. YOu have to remember the chocolate hasn't even been out for a year yet so it will probably stick around for some time....

colors?
Im really hoping this 8560 (gosh these numbers are getting confusing nowadays) comes in other colors.

Bright red and blue? That isn't going to sell. They need something a little sleeker and less like a kids phone. Black sounds like every other phone, but it looks good.

colors redux
According to a Verizon insider on HOFO, that color scheme doesn't look like the current one being tested. it must be a an earlier prototype.

I highly doubt the VX8560 is going to replace the VX8700. It is more akin to the VX8600's relationship to the original VX8500. A flip-phone Chocolate more like, especially with the controls on the front.

correct to #11
You work for Verizon and say the Chocolate is only out a year? Chocolate has been out since 06. Last I looked, it was 08. And I believe the 9700 is actually going to be the Decoy (so more rumors have said) and the Dare may not be a name anymore. Ya know when we'll know? When it's announced at CTIA

The old chocolate 8500 came out in 06 and the new chocolate 8550 came out in 07.

obviously
the 8560 is going to be the replacement to the 8600...it is going to be the chocolate flip while the 8700 was the shine flip....from the looks of it...that silver circular music navigation will be a scroll wheel just like that of the chocolate....hopefully it will have enhanced abilities on the external display since it looks huge...not as big as the razr 2 but as big as the razr maxx ve maybe ? as for the 9700....it looks gorgeous ! however the voyager will still out do it with an equally great design and a keyboard !!!!! but i believe the dare will be an alternative to the flipshot for people who want to have a touchscreen....however, an 'on screen keyboard' will most definatly be in landscape mode which is like the keyboard on the voyager in the web browser....the on screen keyboards on this phone will be less advanced then the i phones and suck....if your a big text messenger go for the voyager !....and as for the glyde ? it is chubby, has a very blocky interserface, and has a weird keyboard....overall verizon is definatly doing better with their phones....the only company in america that has 2, 3.2 megapixel camera phones !!!!!!

decoy
i think they're calling the 8560 decoy because it looks like an mp3 player, but is really a phone.

Looking at the new Verizon rebates from today through 6/15/08, i see the LG Decoy on there but no other new LGs except the Env2.

The 8560 will be called the "Chocolate Flip" and is scheduled for release in July. It's not a smart phone, will use Mobile Web 2, but will have an FM transmitter and there will be over 3million songs available to take advantage of it's MP3 capability.
