LG's Touchscreen Dare, New Chocolate Fipper and Decoy with Piggy-Back Headset Hitting Verizon Soon

Verizon Wireless is finally fessing up to three LG phones that it will be delivering to customers in June and July:
• The Dare, aka VX9700: This has a touchscreen but is slim thanks to the absence of a hidden keyboard (like on the bulkier Glyde and Voyager).
• Chocolate 3: A phone we hadn't seen before, that ditches the slider of the old Chocolates for a full dual-screen flip configuration. Still has a touch-sensitive face, but the buttons inside are all real. Other additions include FM transmitter and SDHC MicroSD support up to 8GB.
• The Decoy has a hidden Bluetooth headset that pops out when you need it, good because it eliminates the need for two separate chargers.
Those are just the salient points; there are more factoids and availability information down below.

First Hands-on Pics of Verizon-Branded LG Dare Cellphone

We first mentioned the upcoming LG Dare, also known as the VX9700, back in March. But now over on Phone Arena more pics of the candybar touchscreen cellphone have emerged. They show it carrying the Verizon brand, a little more of the phone's UI, and confirm that the 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam will have a flash. The Dare will also sport a 240 x 400 pixel screen, browser, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5 mm headset socket and supports microSDHC cards up to 8GB. Its release date has been pushed back to July—until then, cast your eyes over the pics. [Phone Arena]

Microsoft's LifeCam VX-5000 Webcam is Bendy, Portable, Not Ugly

The LifeCam VX-5000 is Microsoft's first attempt at a halfway decent looking webcam: a lightweight, compact unit with a flexible base, it can hook on a laptop or monitor, or rest on a desk. The 640x480 video camera (1.3MP still) has 3x digital zoom as well as pan and tilt functions. The LifeCam features a Windows Live Call button on top to quickly start video chats with contacts, and PhotoSwap, which allows you to share pictures in a virtual photo album. The ring around the camera's outside comes in blue, green, or red, a very tiny way to express your individuality. It will retail for $50 when it comes out in June; full release after the jump.

Asus' VX3 Lamborghini Laptop Arrives, Costs 2% of Real Lambo

Asus just gave a new look and hardware upgrade to its Lamborghini laptop. The VX3 edition has a 12.1" screen, weighs 3.6 lbs, and features such luxe amenities as a sapphire-crystal lens on the built-in camera, a handmade leather palm rest and a titanium alloy hinge. There is also the "authentic" Lamborghini logo to show all the kids at school what car you really want to drive when you're a balding 45-year-old with a sizable investment portfolio and two ex-wives. The PC specs aren't bad, but to be expected in a $3,300 laptop: 320GB HDD, a NVidia GeForce 9300 graphics card, Intel T9300 Core2 Duo chipset and 4GB of RAM, plus HSDPA wireless. [Asus]

New Verizon-branded LG VX8560 Flip Phone Shows Its Pretty Face

Verizon is getting what could become the replacement for its VX 8700 Shine flip phone—a new red and black number that's currently called the numerically confusing VX8560. Details are very scarce at the moment, but the pictures shows a TFT display with a camera on top and a dedicated silver audio control below. It will most likely launch after its cousin, the Prada-like VX9700.

LG VX9700 Touchphone For Verizon Is Like the Prada or AT&T Vu

Verizon's getting its own version of the AT&T Vu, a touchscreen LG Prada phone without the Prada branding. Phone Arena says the specs on this look something like a 3.2-megapixel camera with a Schneider Kreuznach lens, microUSB port, microSDHC slot, touchscreen, and a full QWERTY keyboard. It's also supposed to be headed for release at the end of March, but could be delayed until April or May. This phone is apparently so secret that Phone Arena needs not one, but two watermarks on the picture. [Phone Arena]

lg voyager review

LG Voyager from Verizon Wireless Reviewed (Verdict: Ambitious But Flawed)

Like many people who live in Verizon country, I have eagerly awaited the carrier's latest—and definitely greatest—feature phone, the LG VX10000 Voyager. Yesterday UPS dropped it off, and I've been playing with it constantly ever since. It is a powerful thing, ambitious in that it combines much of what we like about both the iPhone and the BlackBerry into a single compact system. But it has flaws that make it hard for me to give the highest marks, especially with an after-rebate price tag of $300. More »

Verizon's LG VX10000 Voyager Revealed and Groped (with Gallery)

Though images have leaked here and there, not much was known about the LG VX10000 from Verizon Wireless. Sure, when open, it looks like the QWERTY-obsessed LG enV, but when closed, it's got way more of a Prada—or dare I say iPhone?—vibe. More details and full gallery after the jump.

Logitech Rolls Out Tiny VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse

Logitech just rolled out its VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse, especially designed for notebooks but still using that hyperfast scroll wheel that Blam liked so much in its big brother, the MX Revolution. Its most remarkable feature is its improbably small USB receiver, the tiniest yet conceived. How small is it? Insert the receiver into a USB port, and all you can see is a tiny nub sticking out. We're just wondering how they ever crammed all that 2.4GHz circuitry inside. Neat. And how fast is that scroll wheel, anyway? See the video and another pic after the jump. More »

The soon-to-arrive LG VX8550 looks to be an upgrade of the old Chocolate, and has actual Send and End buttons where the touch garbage was before. More »

Veritronix's Bluetooth Speaker: High in Style, Small in Size

For the most part, speakers this small never sound good, but we won't judge until we try, and with looks like this, how could we not wanna try? The credit card–sized VX-818 is 0.5 inches thick and it connects to any Bluetooth-enabled gadget doubling as a speaker or a hands-free device. Don't have a Bluetooth cellphone? You can also connect via a miniUSB port, standard audio jacks, and both line-in and line-out jacks. The VX-818 also has touch-sensitive controls (what sexy gadget doesn't nowadays). No word on pricing, but we wouldn't mind having one of these in our gadget bag. – Louis Ramirez More »
