Verizon's LG Decoy gets a quick once over: handset's great, headset's not
LaptopMag whipped out a quick review of Verizon's newest cell phone with piggybacking Bluetooth headset and for the most part, they like. The LG Decoy does seem to shine -- in fact they call it brilliant -- the pairing process with the headset's a breeze, they love that it charges while nestled in the back of the handset, and when not using little stowaway, the speakerphone is loud. Of course, there seem to be a few drawbacks, headset battery life is a pitiful 2 hours, the two-in-one combo at 4.1 ounces is a tad hefty, wind noise is a serious problem, and at $179 after discount, it's pricey. Follow the read link to read the rest and see a few more pics of it in action.

We've already been treated to some specs, press shots, and pricing info, and now the gents at Mobileslate have given us a bunch of nice unboxing pics to round out the affair. Hopefully we're still on for Monday, June 16th launch date as these pics and that crafty Bluetooth headset snapped in the back have us feeling fairly curious. Follow on for a whack of nice pics.[Thanks, Eric]
Verizon snags LG Dare, Decoy and Chocolate 3
So, what do you do after announcing your intentions to spend nearly $30 billion on America's fifth largest carrier? Why, you announce a trio of new phones for the summertime, that's what. Verizon Wireless is trumpeting the launch of the Dare (pictured), Decoy and Chocolate 3, all of which are being provided by LG. As for the Dare, you'll find 3G, V CAST, VZ Navigator and a 3.2-megapixel camera, while the Decoy becomes the world's first handset with a Bluetooth headset integrated into its body. Finally, the Chocolate 3 goes all flip-phone on us and includes an FM transmitter, twin speakers, 1GB of internal storage, 2-megapixel camera and V CAST support. Unfortunately, VZW hasn't dished out official details on pricing just yet, but you can find out for sure when they go on sale later this month, June 16th and sometime in July (in order of mention).
