LG is preparing to release the Chocolate 3 with Verizon on the 14th of July. The Chocolate 3 is a clamshell with 1GB internal memory and a memory card slot that supports microSDHC 8GB. Verizon will retail it under the name of VX8560, in Black and Light blue colours.

The internal display has 2.2" in size with QVGA resolution (240x320 pixels) and the external display has a 1.76" diagonal and a resolution of 176x220 pixels. To add up to the imaging features, there is a 2 megapixel camera.

The phone isn't complete without its 3.5mm jack and stereo speakers, as well as Bluetooth v2.1 connectivity and an FM Transmitter. The front wheel might not be a navi-wheel, according to the specifications list, it's a mechanical wheel.

Pricing will range between $129 after $50 rebate with a 2-year contact, $199 after $50 rebate with a 1-year contract, and $299 full retail, according to our source.

The Chocolate series is famous for its glamorous and glossy looks. The Chocolate 3 in light blue colour might not sustain that reputation, but the device's specifications and pricing are targeted to a mid-tier device.
