Verizon employees have been confirming the forthcoming availability of the LG VX8575 Chocolate Touch for October 18th on the carrier with no confirmation on pricing.

The Verizon LG Chocolate Touch is not based off of the LG BL40 high-end device, but is an original design for Verizon Wireless which features a 3.0 inch WVGA resolution touch display, EVDO Rev. A, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and video recorder, 3.5mm headphone jack, HTML browser and 1GB of built-in memory with microSDHC expansion slot.

The phone will also come with FM radio and audio recognition through VCAST and will be running an updated version of the enV Touch BREW-based operating system.

The LG Chocolate Touch will be the second device on Verizon to be sold under the revised new data plan requirement for non smartphone devices with QWERTY keyboards, HTML browsers and EVDO Rev. A access, known as the Enhanced Multimedia device specification.

The AX310 features features voice-activated calling, speakerphone Bluetooth, speaker-independent voice control and 1.3 megapixel camera with zoom.

The LG AX310 is available for $59.99 before an additional $30 mail-in rebate with activation of a 1-year service contract on a qualifying rate plan, bringing the total to $29.99.

Like Samsung, LG has decided to leave the Android operating system untouched, rather than masking it, like we have seen on the HTC Hero. The phone has a large 3 inch, possibly HVGA resolution, touchscreen and a side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard. The phone also sports a 5-megapixel camera and both a send and end key, with a smallÂok/confirm key in the middle.

Pricing and release date are both unknown at this time.

The phone is now available for $129.95 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $79.95.

Virgin Mobile has confirmed to the press that it plans to launch the LG Rumor 2 in an undisclosed timeframe. The operator was recently acquired by Sprint but did have an existing handset development relationship with the manufacturer offering the LG Aloha and Flare entry-level handsets before the acquisition.

This follows the rumors of the apparent forthcoming availability on the virtual operator this morning as a result of the legal disclosure for its Twitter Rumors sweepstakes in which the First Prize is listed as an LG Rumor 2.

Update: A RadioShack rep has confirmed to PhoneNews.com that the Virgin Mobile Rumor 2 is available now across most locations  for $129.99.

What is currently known about the device is that it features a 21:9 aspect ratio with an 800×345 resolution reinforced glass capacitive touch display at 4 inches in diagonal length, Flash-based user interface with WebKit based browser, 5.0 megapixel camera with autofocus and xenon flash, HSPA data access with Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, 3.5mm headphone jack and A-GPS.

More concrete information is expected next month

The device features Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, a resistive touchscreen display with stylus support, GSM and HSDPA 850/1900, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a microSDHC expansion slot. The user manual further mentions other features such as GPS support, a 3.1 megapixel camera with video recorder and Video Share support, proximity and light sensors, accelerometer and gesture control support.

Neither LG nor AT&T have officially announced the device at this time.
