Just call and ask for it. If they don't know about it ask them to look up the sku lgvx8610 and they should be able to look it up and order it for you.

what grey one?

30. (unregistered)

Yeah.... so the picture shown above is the very first spy shot of the phone. its actually not going to be in black. There will only be the "ulgy" grey(silver) one.

The phone is grey, sorry

correction: It is Silver on the front (mirrored screen) and blue on the back. They are also seperate textures on front and back. The phone is a lot nicer than you'd think and the Bluetooth on back comes with it's own seperate charging cradle as well and a snap-on lid while attached.

Yeah, I do have to say "phonearena" goofed a little on this one, with the phone so close to release why would you post the really old spy photo of the phone when the Verizon branded final release photo is available. It just confuses people who have not been tracking the release of this phone lol

I got mine today. It really is a good looking phone. The main difference from the photo here is the keypad is black.

Uh... actually there is another Chocolate for Verizon; the LG-VX8560 - the SKU is active and if you do a search on it it comes up with Chocolate 3.

I knew he was full of mularchy, but I thought the vx8560 was replacing the vx8700

Okay, the LG VX8560 is replacing the LG VX8700. There is going to be an upgraded model to the Chocolate, and that is LG VX8610 Decoy.

To correct you...The 8610 is not a Chocolate replacement, nor was the Venus. The 8560 is also not replacing the chocolate, it is replacing the 8600 which was replaced by the 8700. This is the "chocolate flip" advanced past what the 8600 was. These are all in the "black label" series of phones that LG is putting out. Quite honestly, I think they put the model numbers backwards and the Decoy should be the 8560 and the 8560 as the 8610...then things would make sense in the progression of phones....but if they did that, there'd be nothing to talk about.

Considering it comes with a bluetooth headset, I'd say $229 plus a $50 rebate? The price is just fine

15. (unregistered)

Oh duh, you said the front of the phone bahahaha Yeah its not the best looking first look at the phone, I apologize for my previous comment hahaha

It is less expensive then the Venus was at launch. You have to remember, prices fluctuate a LOT! The Venus is several months old and is down in price so that it can be moved. Phones tend to launch at a higher price than anyone wants...tough. The Glyde...there's a reason it's priced where it is....it sucks :)

You say "everyone who knows about the phone thinks it is too exensive"? How about "everyone who thinks it is too expensive posted their opinion here". The people who don't think the phone is too expensive are simply ordering it over the phone instead of wasting time typing "I think it is not too expensive"
