Best Buy to Sell LG Chocolate Touch, Samsung Omnia 2 and More Come August 23rd [Leaks]

One of Boy Genius Report’s “most trusted Best Buy moles” snapped a shot of Best Buy’s plans for August 23rd. Looks like it’ll be a big day in the cellphone world, with a number of anticipated featurephones hitting the shelves.

Mostly new Verizon and AT&T featurephone offerings, Best Buy will also have a new shipment of BlackBerry Tours and the Samsung Reclaim, both for Sprint. Check out the list below.

* Samsung Gravity 2 (berry) – T-Mobile
* Samsung Solstice – AT&T
* LG Xenon (red) – AT&T
* Global AirCard (G2) – Verizon
* Samsung Rogue – Verizon
* LG Chocolate Touch – Verizon
* Samsung u450 Intensity – Verizon
* Samsung Omnia 2 – Verizon
* BlackBerry Tour – (new shipment, Sprint)

Don’t get too excited, the Chocolate Touch isn’t the weirdo LG BL40 we saw earlier, but some other touchscreen Chocolate entry. But this is a nice development, since we were lacking release dates on several of these phones (including the AMOLED-packing Samsung Omnia 2) and this leak answers those questions. [Boy Genius Report]
