White Chocolate comes to Verizon just in time for Halloween

by Michael Caputo, posted Oct 27th 2006 at 9:04AM

Don't say Roc didn't tell you so when we first brought you the details of the white Chocolate being released on Verizon Wireless, and when we wrote about the additional colors being introduced as well. Now, just in time to satisfy your sweet tooth for Halloween, Verizon decides to drop the White Chocolate this coming Tuesday with the following pricing: Full Retail $360, one year $230, and two year (yikes!) contract it's $180. Not too bad until you figure out the only thing different about this is the color -- and according to the spec sheet, it doesn't even come with the speakerphone update. Bad Verizon, bad.

"Bad Verizon, bad." *Rubs Verizon's nose in the spec sheet*

It has the speakerphone enabled, the spec sheet is incorrect.

Fred is correct. In fact I am looking at the launch sheet right now and it says it has speakerphone enabled.

the spec sheet isn't WRONG. its just that the speakerphone ability WILL come enabled with newer chocolate phones (i.e this one, newer black models, and future ones) as they've been updated with newer firmware.
