Motorola W385, new LG Chocolates live on Verizon

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 9th 2007 @ 11:58PM Breaking News


Thinking back to when we first caught wind of it, the turnaround on the ambiguously named VX8550 Chocolate from LG wasn't that bad -- but the same can't be said of Verizon's other retail introduction today, the midrange Motorola W385. This thing's been kicking around as a rumored Big Red device since April at the latest -- and yes, we'll admit that our sense of time is a bit skewed, but that's, like, forever. Anyhoo, pick up the VGA-cam'd, 160 x 128 screen'd W385 for $70 after all the contracts and discounts have been applied; meanwhile, the VX8500 successor can be yours for a nice, round hundie.

Up close with the Motorola W385, LG orange enV for Verizon

We've known these two were in the pipe, but there's something about big, pretty pictures that really drives the point home. First up is the Motorola W385, an entry-level flip that borrows some design cues from its KRZR stablemate while deleting the external music controls and "ooh, shiny" finish. The orange VX9900 enV is... well, orange -- a color probably well-suited for the phone's decidedly funky attitude and target demo. Check the gallery for more footage!

Motorola W385, black U740 in the pipe for Verizon

Not feeling the Samsung U740's champagne hue? Good news: Verizon's latest rebate form reveals that a black version is in the works, arguably more appropriate for the phone's largely business-oriented demographic. Other goodies on the form are few and far between, though our tipster does point out that the Motorola W385 makes an appearance, offering KRZR-like styling in a lower-end package. No word on release for either, though the rebates expire on May 13 -- take that for what you will.
