Yes, I know that. I was saying the reason that we get a bunch of different colored casings in the US is because the RAZR is very popular here, whereas the Chocolate is fairly new. Like I said, the Verizon branding is awful, and I think the main reason the front of the phone was changed was because LG had to make a "special" CDMA version for Verizon. As the Chocolate gets more popular, hopefully a GSM provider like Cingular will pick it up and the original style will make it to our shores, as well as in white and a bunch of other colors.
when we first got confirmation that the vx8500 was indeed the chocolate for verizon, one of their internal documents leaked and it stated that the chocolate was exclusive for life on verizon. everybody was unsure if that meant the vx8500 is exlusive to verizon, or the entire chocolate brand. because the vx8600 that's upcoming is the chocolate flip phone for verizon.
edit: here is that
leaked road map.
