Verizon Wireless said today that in the 12 months since it launched the LG Chocolate in the United States it has sold more than 3.4 million units -- an obvious comparison to the one million units-per-quarter performance of Apple Inc.'s iPhone, which sells at rival carrier AT&T Mobility.

That's an average rate of about 850,000 Chocolate handsets per quarter, which compares well with Apple's stated intent to sell one million iPhones in the third quarter -- the first quarter for iPhone sale -- which it reached Sept.

The forthcoming LG Viewty is a cool looking mobile phone, one of the very few handsets to support DivX playback.

This means that users will be able to watch their favorite DivX movies directly on the phones.

Viewty is DivX certified, so there will be no compatibility problems.

LG has made three new colors available for its Shine slider, including Gold, Pink and Black.

Gold version will be selling in Asia, Pink version will appear in Europe next month, and the black version will be selling worldwide.

LG and Orange UK bring you the new Pink version of the famous LG Shine.

The new model has the same features as the original and will be available exclusively through Orange in the end of this month for £30 with a 1-year contract or for £99.

LG LC3600 is the company's newest cell phone, which is expected to become the "golden middle" in the world of fashionable electronics, combining both style and performance in a 9.9mm slim body.

It will soon hit the Korean market, but we know nothing about its price and specifications yet.

Here is a new version of the recently released LG KG90, the LG KG90C Shine.

The phone, also known as White Chocolate, has an all-white sleek and shiny body, and comes with the same specs as the KG90. So, I guess only the color was changed...

Just to name a few of the features, the LG KG90C has a 2" 262K color TFT screen, 128MB of memory, and supports MP3, AAC+, and WMA formats, Java, and Bluetooth.

Not long ago we've mentioned two upcoming LG cell phones for Verizon, called LG VX8800 and VX10000. As we promised, here are some details about them.

Both are successors of the LG VX8550 and the LG VX9900 enV respectively and are equipped with touch-sensitive panels.

The LG VX8800 is a slider, similar to the VX8550, featuring a dynamic touch display area instead of touch-activated buttons for navigation through the phone's menu.

The new LG KG271 is a thin and ultra-light candy bar cell phone, measuring just 12.9 mm thick and weighing 60 grams.

This dual-band GSM handset features a 128x128 CSTN 65K colors screen, USB connectivity, FM receiver and a very useful handset tracing function.

LG is about to release the new Pink canU701d T-DMB mobile phone in Korea.

This is the sixth model in the LG's CAN U series, a stylish swivel handset featuring T-DMB, a large 2.6" screen and providing up to 5 hours of music playback.

LG canU701d will be available in Korea very soon for around 500,000(KRW).

The first photo of the upcoming LG VX10000, the successor of the LG enV, has recently appeared on forums.

Currently there is not much information about the device, but the phone seems to be sleeker and obviously comes with a larger display. Pricing and availability details are also unknown.
