G'zOne, White Chocolate see launches on Verizon
Ultra rugged or delicate, glossy white -- that is the question. Verizon has gone ahead and launched a couple of its more hotly anticipated handsets this week, the over-engineered G'zOne Type-V clamshell from Casio and the white variant of the LG VX8500 Chocolate slider. While neither phone is going to go easy on the wallet, the G'zOne is the budget buster of the two with a hefty $300 price tag (and not a rebate in sight, mind you). Then again, with water resistance top center on the list of the Casio's features, the phone might just pay for itself the first time it makes it through the wash.[Thanks, reemusk]
Verizon launches Motorola's KRZR K1m and LG's Chocolate, again
Just in time for Halloween, VZW has new flavors of the MOTOKRZR K1m and Chocolate phones up for grabs. Well kinda, since their new White Chocolate only appears on what looks to be a Verizon staging site at the mo' with actual launch still expected tomorrow for $130 and a 2 year commitment. Just don't forget to treat yourself to a speakerphone with the ol' firmware trick hear, 'cause it looks from the site to ship without. Also up is the return on the K1m KRZR only now in a ghostly white with gray exterior -- yours to ship home for $200 after on-line discount and two-year contractual obligation akin to a feast of apples and rzrbldz.[Thanks, John and Bob the Builder]Read -- LG Chocolate (white) Read -- Motorola MOTOKRZR K1m
White Chocolate comes to Verizon just in time for Halloween
Don't say Roc didn't tell you so when we first brought you the details of the white Chocolate being released on Verizon Wireless, and when we wrote about the additional colors being introduced as well. Now, just in time to satisfy your sweet tooth for Halloween, Verizon decides to drop the White Chocolate this coming Tuesday with the following pricing: Full Retail $360, one year $230, and two year (yikes!) contract it's $180. Not too bad until you figure out the only thing different about this is the color -- and according to the spec sheet, it doesn't even come with the speakerphone update. Bad Verizon, bad.
