Ok...personally I don't like the color that was chosen, unless it photographed poorly. Here is a link from LG's website picturing the new Chocolate.

I agree with you. This color looks more "powder blue" than "blue ice"...

I am not liking this shade of blue either... looks like dark blue mixed with white. I would like to see this in white or some more dark colors. I doubt they would get a Mr. Goodbar yellow chocolate LOL

That is because black is such a good color for a cell phone...hence why I purchased my u740 in black. VZW should have just stuck with the Blue Mint on the Chocolate...that color actually looks nice.
