LG Electronics announced it has released the ‘Chocolate Touch’ (model VX8575) featuring a 3-inch touch-screen for Verizon customers.

Targeting music-savvy customers, the Chocolate Touch is the first model to use ‘Dolby Mobile’ in the U.S. mobile phone market, offering surround sound effects. For quick access to music functions, a dedicated button is located on the side of the mobile phone.
The model has 1 GB of internal memory, which stores up to 250 songs. Users are able to expand this to 16GB with external memory. Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo speakers, FM radio and a 3.5-mm audio jack.

With the ‘Chocolate Touch,’ LG expects a boom in growth of touch-screen phones as with its predecessor ‘Chocolate’ phone, which has been bought by 6 million U.S. customers. Other touch-screen phones sucha s Voyager and Dare have reached 5 million and 2.4 million in sales, respectively.

The number of touch-screen phone users in the U.S. reached 23.8 million as of August, LG said, quoting market research firm Comscore’s findings.
