Verizon has announced a set of new LG handsets to include the Dare, Decoy and Chocolate 3. The new phones, while officially announced still have not had any pricing information revealed.

First up we have the LG Dare, a V CAST capable touchscreen-based handset that will feature 3G support, a 3.2-megapixel still and video camera, built-in photo editing tools as well as come loaded with multimedia functionality. The Dare will be available later this month.

Next we have the LG Decoy, which as we have already seen, comes with the built-in Bluetooth headset on the back, which will help to keep it charged when you are not actively using it, and should also help keep you from misplacing it. The Decoy is a slider style handset that feature a five-way directional joystick that will make it easier to navigate the menu’s and take advantage of Verizon’s V Cast and VZ Navigator services. Expect the Decoy to be available on June 16.

Typically we see the press style photos turning up first with the live-style images showing up second, however in the case of the LG VX8610 Decoy from Verizon Wireless it was exactly the opposite.

These are nice crisp, clear press style images showing off the upcoming LG VX8610 Decoy in all its glory. The Decoy, while a basic looking slider style from the front, has a unique little trick hidden on the back in the form of a “built-in” Bluetooth headset. Although the details are still unconfirmed it looks like the Decoy is expected to become available in June.
