Someone over at Verizon/LG must already be feeling the holiday spirit, because the companies are slated to release white, red, and green versions of the immensely popular LG Chocolate phone. You can expect the White Chocolate this coming Halloween with the following pricing: Full Retail $360, one year contract $230, and two year contract $180.

We had previously heard about the white chocolate version, but this is the first time real beauty shots of the handset have emerged. Engadget Mobile has also received images of the red and green versions.

LG has announced that a new handset within the Black Label Series (currently known as Chocolate) will be launched early in 2007.

As of now the details are sparse, but LG is keen to build on the phenomenal success of its first handset within the Black Label Series - called the LG Chocolate - in the designer-phone category. The new handset promises to be just as stunning as the Chocolate phone though totally different in styling and with an even better technical specification.

“With the Black Label Series, LG redefined the designer mobile phone category,” Jae Bae, Executive Vice President of Mobile Communications Company of LG Electronics at LG Electronics. “Black Label stands for so much more than just the look of a phone, though clearly that is important. Consumers want their phones to reflect their own personality and style, communicating a degree of individuality that sets them apart from the crowd, that’s what Black Label is all about.”

We also expect to see various versions of the Chocolate phone in the near future, including white chocolate, pink chocolate, premium versions with improved specs and luxurious styling called Chocolate Gold and Chocolate Platinum.
