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 resolution thing was all well and good, but its unconventional 21:9 (panoramic) aspect ratio was odd to say the least, because very little in terms of TV/film entertainment is actually available for home viewing in that format. Then we realised maybe the LG BL40 Chocolate was not just about films. Then we thought: maybe this is about mobile computing, about the internet. Then we realised we were right and smiled smugly at our smartness for a while.

Because while the enlarged screen will be alright – well, very good – for viewing movies, it’s going to be absolutely brilliant for browsing the internet. So good, in fact, that you probably won’t even need to scroll horizontally whilst doing your daily tour of the virtual world. And that, interested readers, is very impressive indeed.

There’s a whole lot more going on with this thing that we like too. So if you don’t mind the idea of something that looks like a prop from the latest Star Trek movie, check out this LG BL40 chocolate review, have a look at these LG BL40 deals, or just sit back and watch this slick little video.
