Verizon's Mint and Cherry LG Chocolate launch: who cares?

As if that white and dark LG Chocolate wasn't enough, Verizon just released red (no, not that RED) and green versions of the venerable VX8500 slider in hopes of stoking a bit of yule in our Grinchy hearts. No surprises here since we've been expecting these to drop since last month. Same specs we've seen, and yours for the usual $129.99 after on-line discount and 2-year commitment -- which should be enough time to convince everyone of their "Cherry" and "Mint" coloring.

[Thanks, Tyler A.]

I don't care. But I bet girls will.

Suddenly I am in the mood for a cherry limeade.

Don't you mean, "Who Cares?"

[funkbass23 @ Nov 22nd 2006 10:45AM]

You changed it, nevermind.

Good GOD that green thing is ugly. Funny that you should mention the Grinch- it matches his fur.

[trevor @ Nov 22nd 2006 11:51AM]

The black and white ones both are cool in person, these on the other hand are the ugliest phones I've ever seen.

[Alex D. @ Nov 22nd 2006 11:58AM]

And the fugly and horrible UI like the rest of Verizon's phones.

I currently have a head cold. Much of what I'm coughing up matches those two phones...

the chocolate doesn't even work, a recall would be a better direction than releasing new colors.

[GJP303 @ Nov 22nd 2006 3:56PM]

most of the time isn't the mint candy or breath mints and stuff white or white and red stripes. Only a few times have i seen it in a ugly-green color.

I love this phone because music is my life and portable is always good when your on the go like I am. When you want to break out in a dance just turn on your phone!

[gegesaysso. @ Dec 17th 2006 2:49PM]

are you kidding me? you actually have a site that says "who cares" about the new phones & then everyone comments about them? if you really hate them so much why the fuck do you waste your time with describeing how much you hate them. get a fucking life, if verizon wants to make new phones so be it.

[dmizzel @ Dec 17th 2006 4:55PM]

Yall are all haters except those people that gave it a good comment.

[Trent @ Dec 21st 2006 8:36PM]

the phones are great. Even the green one is doing alot better than its expectations. It looks ALOT better in life than this picture. This one looks like someone puked. So its just the pic people. I own the black chocolate phone and three of my other friends own white, black, and green. To the people who say "fuck" verizon phones, they are just jealous that Verizon has been getting all the cool ones. LG has made there flip vx8600 and enV. Motorola came out with the KRZR too. Only Verizon and Sprint have been doing the best. Cingular still has there old SLVR which died a while ago. T-Mobile is still cool, just hasn't come out with hit phones like Verizon or Sprint. Chocolate is the top phone out right now so people can't say "who cares".

[Bryan @ Feb 15th 2007 4:36PM]

actually. you all are pretty much wrong. I happen to have a mint chocolate phone, and it works perfect, and its actually a really awesome color. the phone up there doesnt even look like it. i dont know what your talking about. because they are really cool phones that actually are decent. so next time, try thinking a little bit.

[josh @ Mar 16th 2007 7:56PM]

i currently have the green one and i personally love it i don't care what any of you say it is fu**ing hot
