Verizon LG VX8500 chocolate phone

The VX8500, is the long rumored chocolate phone that is coming around. This picture shows the phone coming to Verizon as a slider with a glossy black finish with red highlights. On the upper part of the phone, it has a large 5-way navigation key designed for music playback, a camera behind the slider portion (meaning the camera is hidden when closed), has an internal antenna, and probably music more.

There is no official date for launching the phone as neither Verizon nor LG have announced it, but some rumors say it will start shipping on Oct 7 this year, as this is the date that the phone on the images displays.

Update: Verizon has updated their site with a teaser page for the handset.
