PhoneScoop: LG Chocolate Touch

[0]This is the new LG Chocolate Touch available from Verizon Wireless. Its a, obviously a touch device based on music experience. Chocolate line has always been about providing a good music experience. Has a reasonably good sized display here and on the front we have just three buttons, send and end key and a back key On the left side of the device we have got a microUSB port, volume toggle which feels pretty good, and we have got a voice application key here which also feels pretty good, nothing along the bottom, and on the right side we have got a dedicated camera key here, we have a dedicated music key here, and then we have the lock and unlock key. And on the top of course we have a nice 3.5mm headset jack and on the back you will see the camera. Its really interesting, the design on this camera, the design on the back of this phone. Its actually [1]a mirrored surface, you can see there, with some soft touch patches that gives it a nice grip so its not going to slip out of your hand. As far as the user interface is concerned, lets jump back out to the main screen this is very similar to the user interface we see on other LG touchphones so we have the basic dock on the bottom and you can jump around to the main menu There is the main menu and we have got access to other media shortcuts and things like that. This is customizable, users can add their own stuff here, make it more their own, and of course we have the music button which launches music services, so you can play, you can shop, you can sync, and also there is an FM radio and so there it is, the LG chocolate touch for Verizon Wireless.

PhoneScoop: Casio Brigade

[0]This is the new Casio G'zOne Brigade. A fully ruggedized phone that has push to talk capabilities. for the Verizon network. Quite frankly, its built like a tank. I mean its huge, its solid, it feels like you could throw it against a brick wall and it would keep on working with no problems. We have got a, you know, small little window out here to provide basic access to some features as well as to see status indicators, messaging and icons and things like that We have got a regular numeric keypad here which feels pretty good The numbers are little bit light on the travel and feedback but the keys are easy enough to find On the left side you can see a number of different buttons here, we have got a dedicated push to talk button, volume toggle, dedicated music key, and a headset jack cover there. Nothing along the right [1]side of the device or the top. On the back however you can see a camera actually with a camera flash and its a opens up sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard as D-pad there on the right, function keys here. This keyboard actually feels excellent. Good travel and feedback on the keys. They have a nice shape to them. They are very easy to find and tell apart from one another. So keypad works great and of course theres a really nice big display so that you can interact with the phone So thats a quick look at the Casio Brigade to be available later this year from Verizon wireless.
