Updated release dates for the LG VX9700 Dare, VX8610 Decoy, and VX8560 Chocolate Flip

We have received information from one of our sources, regarding Verizon's projected release dates for three upcoming LG devices. First is the VX8610 Decoy, which is a slider style phone with a unique built-in removable Bluetooth earpiece. The Decoy is currently scheduled for an on-line release of May 30th and an in-store release of June 9th. Next is the VX8560 Chocolate Flip, which is an update to the VX8600. It features a large external LCD color display with music control pad that allows for easy playback without opening the phone. The VX8560 is scheduled for an on-line release of June 24th and an in-store release early July. Lastly, the pièce de résistance, the VX9700 Dare will be the US CDMA version of the GSM Prada (minus the branding) and will feature a large WQVGA touchscreen, 3.2MP camera with Schneider Kreuznach lens, and on-screen QWERTY keypad. The Dare is expected to have an on-line release of July 4th and an in-store release by mid-July.

As always, keep in mind that these projected release dates are subject to change.

*UPDATE*
The Decoy VX8610 is confirmed to have a release of June 16th with a price of $179 after rebate.
The Chocolate3 VX8560 is now expected to be released by July 14th.
The Dare VX9700 is still scheduled to be out by mid-July.

Incorrect, the wireless did not buy alltel the the business did, so It won't change much in size, plus it's still in major debt.

Well, it is about time bthey anounced when the phones will be released, but they need to release them sooner. Nobody wants to wait another 2 months to get one of these phones. They've ben planning them for a while now, and they need to make th release dates sooner.

Sooner?

Yes, it would be nice if they would be released sooner...but, knowing that they will be released on a "certain" date is better than not knowing if it will be July or January.

With the two year plan it will be $250 and if you buy it on-line then you can save $50 dollars. So it would only cost $200.

I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE PHONE!!! :)
