Verizon’s LG Venus, its second touch-screen enabled phone after the Voyager, sports a very aesthetically pleasing design. Similar to the popular “Chocolate,” the Venus swaps out the Chocolate’s touch-sensitive buttons with an actual touch screen, which gives it a rather unique dual-screen design.

Clocking in at 4 inches by 2 inches by 0.62 inch, the Venus looks high-tech and very chic, with curved corners on a silver border, and a faux-leather battery cover on the back, which gives it a comfortable grasp and opulent feel in the hand.

Phone, MP3 Player, or Both?

Verizon is billing the Venus as a phone/mp3 player hybrid, very much like the Chocolate. The phone’s OS has the capability to switch into “music only” mode, which prevents the device from making calls, presumably to save the phone’s battery, when being used only as an mp3 player. Interestingly, this music-centric phone does not include a memory card in the box, which would have made sense as the 128 MB of internal memory does not offer much space for music.
