LG BL40 Chocolate. Webtastic August 25, 2009 No Comments

When we first saw the specs for the soon-to-be-released LG BL40 Chocolate, we thought: here we go, another phone pretending to be a TV/DVD player, yawn! But, inquisitive and patient as we are (sometimes, at least) we looked harder, and looked closer, and realised that the distinctive 4.0-inch widescreen high-def LCD 800 x 345 pixel [...]

LG GW300. Unpoetic August 11, 2009 No Comments

Sometimes, it seems like most of the content on the internet is generated either by idiots or machines, spewing out words using some kind of vomit cannon. And sometimes it seems like something has been written by not just an idiot, and not just a machine, but an absolutely idiotic machine. Take this little summary [...]

LG GC990 Louvre. Life, death, and cameraphones July 30, 2009 No Comments

Call us old fashioned, but we think things were better in t’olden days. Way back in the early 2000’s, for example. When you had a screechy dial-up internet connection. And you checked your emails one or twice a day, never found pictures of yourself throwing up through your nose online in public view (unless you [...]

LG Puccini (LG GT500). Middleweight champion June 22, 2009 No Comments

The LG GT500 Puccini: a phone named after the renowned composer of Madame Butterfly fly… gotta be a music phone, right? Well, not in the world of mobile phones where’s names are plucked from god knows where and more often than not have less meaning, relevance or impressiveness than your average Big Brother contestant. But [...]

LG GD900 crystal March 18, 2009 No Comments

There is so much hype around the LG GD900 Crystal that I can hardly wait to see it. It was displayed at an international exhibition in Barcelona, at the Mobile World Congress. It has been said that it became a wild hit with the crowds and that they were awed by the build and design [...]
