LG's New Chocolate BL40 is a highly attractive touch screen phone, offering the user elegant styling and a high degree of usability. It is the only phone that offers real cinematic viewing, with an ultra-wide screen. The BL40 also offers a glass-based touch screen giving good response and a feeling of quality.

LG has created a phone that looks just that little bit different from everything else on the market, making it difficult to draw comparisons. It has a couple of unique features, including the ability to transmit an FM signal, so you can essentially fill it with music and play it through your nearest radio or car stereo.

Games and other fun applications give the user plenty to do besides calling and texting, with a number of intuitive games already on the phone. The 5 megapixel camera takes average quality pictures and multi touch allows photos to be viewed and edited with ease.

The bottom line is that the new Black Label Chocolate is a beautifully styled piece of electronics that stands out from the crowd of mobile phones. It is a phone for followers of fashion.

Summary:

  • Good Points: Beautiful phone, it really is hard to beat for looks
  • Bad Points: Style over function, it's just a bit on the long side
  • Others to consider: Apple iPhone, Sony Ericsson Satio
  • Free on contract with all networks
