Verizon Wireless has Sold LG Chocolate Phones to rival the iPhone

Verizon Wireless announced that it has sold more than 3.4 million units, a figure rivaling that of the Apple iPhone's performance. That’s an average rate of about 850,000 Chocolate handsets per quarter, which compares well with Apple’s stated intent to sell one million iPhones in the third quarter—the first quarter for iPhone sales—which it reached Sept. 10.

Verizon Wireless sells the Chocolate at its retail and online stores, as well as through mass-market, consumer electronics chains. Apple sells the iPhone through its flagship stores as well as through AT&T Mobility’s retail and online stores.
