I think a serious rethink is needed for the name, VX10000000000000 has a better ring to it.

Good point.

More zeros = better

Did anyone notice that on the last image, there are actual 'send' and 'end' keys. On all the other images, the front is completely touch screen...whats up with that.

@SDH32: I noticed that as well. Seemed like different variations.

it looks like an 80's pc... only smaller

Some of those pictures are of the LG 8800, successor to the Chocolate. (That's why they look different)

#s 2 and 3 are the 8800, the others are the 10000

Oh, and these pics have been out for a while on HoFo.

Too bad it will be with Verizon. Their OS needs some serious work.

Anyone know what those two icons after the tools & settings icon are? I don't remember those ever being in the OS.

hasnt anyone seen the new OS on the new chocolate? its pretty cool. my friend has it and its kinda like the sidekick's but in colors instead of graphics.

hasnt anyone seen the new OS one the new chocolate? its actually really cool. it kinda looks like the sidekicks OS but in verizons colors instead of cool graphics.

Mmmmm... Teenalicious.

Gah! It looks like LG is letting the Chocolate do what the RAZR did to Motorola. All of the phones from Motorola show obvious derivations from the RAZR and it's starting to look like all of the LG phones will show obvious derivations from the Chocolate. One of the things I liked most about LG was that most of their phones looked completely different. Look at the ENV, then look at the Chocolate, then look at the 8600, then look at the CU500, then look at the CU400. You can barely tell that those phones were made by the same manufacturer because they actually had variety.

So is this "next-gen" enV a dual slider?

@Georgio: wait, I didn't mean to ask if it's a dual slider. What I meant to ask was if this enV has a QWERTY keyboard and a number keypad?

Ha. Georgio is officially my hero for @ing a comment at him/her self. Awesome.

Several enV users I know are waiting for this phone, in part b/c the enV apparently has some memory limitations. I dunno, I never used an enV. But I hope this is a goodun.

I like that people are experimenting with different form factors that still utilize a "flip" of some sort. Perhaps one day we'll get a CDMA smartphone that doesn't crash, slow down, or freeze unexpectedly, and is a flip phone.

@Georgio:

Exactly.

This seems to be pics of two phones... neither of which is the new enV shown in the main pic.

One is a slider with large screen, the other has no physical keypad and is all touchscreen with send/end keys and maybe a function key.

@Keebler: well, the last picture is pretty likely the new enV, because the sticker on it says vx10000...

Good point smoky...
Seems strange for the en-V line though considering they've been pretty cheap in price so far. Adding a large touchscreen and a larger-than-before internal screen would be quite the jump.

Definitely possible though.

OMG... that's two phones... the new chocolate and the new enV which is combined with the functionality of the KE850! (KE850 opens up to reveal enV innards). Look closely at the pics. If that's the case, then VzW has a serioues iPhone contender - touchscreen AND tactil keyboard.
