The LG Chocolate series has a new incarnation in the form of the LG BL20 Chocolate. This new entry brings back the old aesthetic standards of the LG series. The BL20 is a slider phone that LG has designed in what can only be described as minimalist and silky smooth; looking at the product in question, you would have to agree. The al black finish can be considered simple, if not common for most mobile devices today, but it is hard to miss the subtle red lines on the touch sensitive pad that creates a visual accent for the BL20.  An official listing of the device describes these as hidden navigation keys; a fancy way for saying that there are no buttons, but aesthetically impressive nonetheless.

Offered by O2

LG BL20 Chocolate contracts are being offered by O2; if you find the 269 Euro retail price a little too much, then a contract is your best bet. Either way, it will not be hard to shell out some cash for this mobile phone since it is not only impressive visually, but LG has put in some pretty good hardware for this device. This 3G phone is on the low to mid-tier in terms of specifications, but it is one of the sleekest among other smart phones, at 269 Euros, that is a pretty good tradeoff.

Specifications and Features

The Bl20’s screen is a small 2.4 inches, but considering that this is not a touch screen, the size is just right. Touch input goes to the “hidden navigation keys” right below the screen; that is LG’s way of marketing the touch sensitive control pad technology they are using –which are technically composed of hidden buttons. The whole device weighs in at 115 grams including the battery. Again, this is a 3G phone so expect the usual 3G features such as HSDPA, Bluetooth, and camera phone technology.
