Verizon Wireless Offers Eight Ways to Enhance the Chocolate by LG Experience

              Chocolate Cravers Can Indulge In Sweet Features

    BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The sweet tooth has struck
again with the second coming of the Chocolate by LG. Exclusive to Verizon
Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable wireless
voice and data network, this music phone satisfies customers' sweetest
cravings for a mobile music device with a rich assortment of features.
Verizon Wireless is committed to making the Chocolate music phone
experience the very best, so here are eight ways to further enhance the
Chocolate.
    -- Multitasking: Customers can multitask while listening to their music
       without ever having to turn their Chocolate off. After selecting a song
       to play, customers simply tap the "Clear" key to return to the main
       screen. As the song continues to play, customers can send and receive
       text messages, take and view pictures, browse the latest news
       headlines through Mobile Web 2.0(SM) and view and organize their
       calendar appointments without interrupting their tunes. The music will
       pause when customers make or receive calls.

    -- Music Alerts: Fans can arrange to have a text message alert sent to
       their phones when their favorite artist has a new release available
       through V CAST Music. To set up music alerts, customers can go to Menu
       > Get It Now(R) > Music & Tones > V CAST Music. Once they browse the
       library and find the artist, they can tap the right soft key and select
       Set Artist Alert.

    -- Music Only Mode: With the Music Only Mode, customers can turn their
       wireless phone into an MP3 or a gaming device.  The Music Only Mode
       turns off the wireless radio so while customers can't place or receive
       calls, they can use the phone to play games or music.  To activate
       Music Only Mode, customers can go to Menu > My Music > Settings > Music
       Only > On. To deactivate, customers simply make a call and they will be
       prompted to turn off the Music Only Mode.

    -- Dual Clocks: On the main screen, customers can set their Chocolate to
       see the time of their current time zone and another major city. To view
       a secondary clock, customers can go to Menu > Settings & Tools >
       Display Settings > Clock Format > Dual. They will then be asked to
       select a second city or time zone.

    -- World Clock: The World Clock on the Chocolate by LG is shown in Flash
       as a 3D model that rotates as the navigation wheel is rotated. When
       customers select a continent on the image by pressing the "OK" key,
       they will see a close-up of the region with major cities and time zones
       appearing on the screen. To access the World Clock, customers can go to
       Menu > Settings & Tools > Tools > World Clock.

    -- Clip Board: This feature is a simple one-step way to access time and
       date, calendar and My Pictures by turning only the navigation wheel on
       the Chocolate, no key pressing is needed. Customers can view all three
       options and even scroll through their pictures easily. To customize the
       Clip Board theme, customers can go to Menu > Settings & Tools > Display
       Settings > Clip Board.

    -- Stop Watch: A simple tool that customers can use for a variety of
       everyday events such as exercising and cooking. The Stop Watch can be
       found by going to Menu > Settings & Tools > Tools > Stop Watch.

    -- Equalizer: Customers can choose from 12 sound effects such as concert
       hall, jazz, acoustic, electronic, and others to maximize the music
       experience. The sound effects will adjust the music to the selection
       for optimal quality. While listening to music and viewing the media
       player on the screen, tap the right hand soft key Options > Sound
       Effect.
    The Chocolate by LG is available in Verizon Wireless Communications

with a new two-year agreement. V CAST Music songs are 99 cents if purchased
