When the first LG chocolate appeared in the smartphone scene, the praise was instant and unanimous, garnering multiple awards for design excellence.  It was a landmark from a design and functional perspective.  That was in 2006.  Now, LG announces a new mobile handset to take on the mantle of its predecessor with the new LG BL40 Chocolate.  From its official photos released by LG, this is one hell of a mobile phone.  Glossy, elegant, stylish, stunning, words can’t fully describe the excitement generated by its extravagant looks.  Just for its looks, this is sure to be another winner for LG’s Touchscreen mobile phones.

Features to Die For

Coming as the 4^th handset in its Black Label Chocolate series, the LG BL40 Chocolate updates the features of its previous touchscreen winners with flagship-grade specifications that will further cement LG’s hold on the mobile markets as a force to reckon with.  Apart from its stunning looks that easily make an upscale fashion phone beside, here are some features revealed by the photos themselves and by LG.

• Its high definition 4 inch LCD screen in 21:9 aspect ratio has 800 x 345 pixel resolution that is not only a pleasure to look at, but a gorgeous performer that makes watching movies a cinematic experience on the road.
• There’s a dual screen capability to show different content types courtesy of its proprietary S-Class User Interface that really takes advantage of the BL40’s expansive homescreen.
• The virtual keypad on a widescreen is the easiest to use in any smartphone in this class.
• There’s the usual nod to a camera onboard with its highly capable 5-megapixel snapper.  Additional information remains to be seen.
• There’s support for Bluetooth 2.0, GPP, WiFi and all the features we’ve come to take for granted in a flagship smartphone that’s a capable imaging and multimedia phone as well.

Pricey but Tasty

The LG BL40 Chocolate is certainly going to be a pricy handset from LG once it becomes available in the market during the last quarter of the year.  Is it worth the price?  The pictures alone seem to indicate it will be.

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.

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 of the not-yet-released LG GW300, for example

“It is a feature phone that is focused on the thumb pressing, social network joining, Twitter viewing, young ones.”

And tell us you didn’t just die a little inside. Yes, we know, whoever’s written this’s English is probably better than our [insert random language here]. But come on, does it really take that much to get someone to give something the once over before you post it? The sad thing is most people will be happy to read the sentence, because it gives them the information they want. Yes, the LG GW300 is good for the thumbs because it has a QWERTY keyboard. Yes, it’s got a few social networking apps pre-installed so you can update your status very quickly using your happy thumbs. And, with its stripped down features (no GPS, bo 3G, no WiFi), the young ones will indeed be happy that it’s so darn cheap (according to GSM Arena as well as us). But where’s the poetry?! Where the metaphors?!

Oh well. Such is the curse of this big idiotic machine thing we call the internet. Have a little look at this LG GW300 review for some more stats and specs on this thing (although, again, no poetry).

A lot of things can happen in a second or two, as you’ll well know. If only our reactions were a couple of seconds quicker for example and we wouldn’t have spilt, well, several hundred drinks over the last decade or so we’ve been drinking in our local pub. Some – the angry landlord, for one – might claim that our spillages are down to nothing more than too many snakebites with tequila chasers. Nonsense, we slur back, there is simply a flaw in our construction, a time lag between us and the rest of the world. And while the landlord might have laughed us off (or, more often, threatened us with extreme violence) we’ve been aware for some time that there’s something else that shares our pain: cameraphones.

Because you must all have experienced this annoyance too: someone is about to or is already doing something funny / amazing / fatal, so you scrabble for the phone, leap into camera-mode with the touch of a button, line-up the laughing / crying / dying subject and hit the shutter button. Then keep on hitting it. Then press even harder. Then press some more, and even more, until you can feel the bone of your finger grinding slightly against the phones feeble plastic body, and then, just after the crucial moment when the subject of your desperate attention falls over / falls over / dies, the picture takes. And you curse and you curse, even as the ambulance takes your friend away, because you’ve missed another picture.

Not so, so they claim, with the recently announced LG Louvre. And why is that, you ask? Because the LG Louvre GC990 features – along with its 12 megapixels, HD video recording and impressive little Schneider Kreuznach lens – something called… wait for it… Zero shutter Lag. Which, as the minority of you out there who can read past a primary school level will know, means that the shutter, when pressed, will have no lag time before taking the picture. Hurrah, we say. Sadly, the phone is barely out of its concept nappies. So there’s nothing more to say except have a gander at these current LG mobile phones, or at this LG Louvre review instead.

LG GC900 Viewty Smart is a slim and stylish phone, with the latest advanced technology, ideal for all phone lovers. The LG GC900 Viewty Smart has some really unique features that makes it outshine the rest. The sleek sliding out numeric keypad along with the3 inch WQVGA resolution of 480×800 pixels, with the 3 inch WQVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels), in-built accelerometer sensor and TFT resistive touchscreen are some extremely nifty features which any phone user is bound to love.

The LG GC900 Viewty Smart

For your convenience, the LG GC900 Viewty Smart also has HSDPA for High Speed Data connections, 3G connectivity and WiFi compatibility. This will make it easy for you to connect with your business contacts, friends and families through emails, and IM while you are on the go. After all, life is not always the same, and you cannot be at two places at once. Further other key features of the fantastice LG GC900 Viewty Smart includes the integrated GPS with A-GPS and stereo Blue tooth.

The LG Viewty Smart is a long way off according to CNET. Entertain yourself with the FM radio which has RDS, clear VGA video calls, MP3 media player, DivX/Xvid video support, push email. Also the fact that you can expand the phone’s memory with memory cards of upto 32 GB is surely an attention grabbing feature.

Features of the LG GT505 include:
- 3″ full touchscreen
- GPS
- Push email via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- Wi-Fi (TM)
- HSDPA 3.6
- 3G enabled
- Voice activation
- 5-megapixel camera

Which is all well and good. But, being ever so slightly more intelligent than, say, stones, or goldfish, we realised that there was something a little similar about this. So we dug deep into our archives, hired teams of private detectives, and finally came across the blog post we wrote a staggering week or so ago about the LG GT500, whose features include:

- 3″ full touchscreen
- GPS
- Push email via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- Wi-Fi (TM)
- HSDPA 3.6
- 3G enabled
- Voice activation
- 5-megapixel camera

And even after hiring more detectives and even holding the two phones up against each other and squinting, we’re still stumped about what’s different about the LG GT505. There’s a cynical voice in us that says LG’s just given the GT505 a different name so it can offer it EXCLUSIVELY to Orange to peddle to their customers, whilst the LG GT500 has been promised EXCLUSIVELY to T-Mobile followers. Check out this LG GT505 review for even more proof than the very expensive detectives uncovered in their expensive, 4-day search.

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 were famous and/or naked as well, that is), and if anyone had used the phrase social networking you would have thought it was something very people did when they played polo.

Now, with the future very much here, the kids want something different. Not satisfied with updating their Facebook status every 4 minutes (I’m on a bus! Don’t know where I’m going!) and checking, sending, forwarding and bouncing emails left right and centre, the kids need more. And the LG GW520 is giving ‘em just want they want by being just about the first mid-range (i.e. pretty cheap, considering) phone to offer ‘push’ services. That means the GW520 can be set-up not only to allow you to check to see if you have new emails or relevant status updates, but to actually alert you whenever that happens. Sounds like a version of hell to us (especially if it’s set to do some kind of annoying beeping ping every time an email arrives) but we’ve no doubt there’s going to be a whole lot of probably younger than us folk out there who are going to find this – not to mention the large slide-out QWERTY keyboard on this thing – very useful indeed. The GW520 will be out on most networks imminently. Read a full LG GW520 review here if you’re one of those kids who’s going to get your kicks from it.

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 let’s not get too negative as this isn’t a bad phone at all. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but then LG aren’t pretending it will. And chances are the LG GT500 Puccini (released very soon on T-Mobile only) is going to be a more than affordable little number, especially considering some of the things it’s boasting.

• 3.0″ 400 x 240 pixel touchscreen
• ultrafast EDGE technology so you can surf and download at close-to broadband speeds
• HSDPA networking
• Integrated GPS receiver
• Bluetooth and USB connections
• Comprehensive email support
• Wide variety of different media formats catered for
• 5MP camera

So, the LG GT500 Puccini is no lightweight for sure. Well, except in the fact that as well as packing a decent punch in the specs department, it is also a pretty light, slim and kinda attractive little creature. At just 12mm thick and weighing in at a featherweight 86 grams, this is definitely going to be a pocket and palm-friendly addition to your life. So don’t expect to be knocked out by this thing, but we reck that if you get into the ring with it, you’ll be going a fair few rounds with a nifty little crowd pleaser. Check out a LG Puccini review here for more stats than you can shake a boxing glove at.

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 of the GD900 Crystal. I have heard that LG will release its specifications sometime soon and the phone itself will be released in the second quarter of 2009, most probably in April. Like I said earlier, I can hardly wait to put my hands on a LG GD900 Crystal.

Here’s everything that I have heard about it, that has made be so excited about it. The see the official press release has not one, but two touch screen pads. While the first is the regular touch screen display that has become very popular these days, the other is the keypad! Can you believe it? This is the first phone to use a touch screen as a keypad. Given how much people complain about hurting fingers especially when one has to type out long text messages and emails, it is surprising how no other mobile phone company thought of this idea before!

The other fantastic feature of the keypad of the LG mobile phones is that it is completely transparent! And not just that, it also glows and shimmers when the keypad is slid out. No doubt this phone is going to be all a rage in fashionable circle. Who can resist a phone that doubles as an attractive accessory? And, it has a matching Bluetooth headset to add to its appeal. A transparent, glowing touch screen slide out keypad- what more can I ask for?
