I am not sure about your August 14th date. Stores in NYC and advertisements which are plastered everywhere in this city all are promoting a July 31st release date.

Boy Genius maybe wrong. When I was at the Verizon Store in Short Hills, NJ -- outside NYC for those unfamiliar -- the sales staff reported that the LG Chocolate phone will be available on Aug. 7. It wasn't just one staffer to repeat the date, but a few employees repeated the date to other customers.
