Just like the HTC HD2, the LG BL40 (also christened the “New Chocolate”) is a phone that’s all about its unique looks and display. In the LG’s case, the looks certainly add a lot to the equation, but isn’t enough to make the phone spectacular.FeaturesT...

It was a smart move from LG to name a unique phone after everyone’s favorite treat. And although the is not really the first phone to be named ‘Chocolate’ (it’s actually called ‘New Chocolate’), the label actually fit the phone quite perfectly as it...

Having said what we did in the last section of this review, the LG Chocolate is definitely a different kind of taste that not everyone will get to appreciate. The phone’s features make it a promising smartphone, but it still isn’t. The interface is de...

After the LG Arena and Viewty Smart, this is one phone that has really caught our attention. Now that is equally to do with its capabilities and its unusual design. The ultra-wide 4-inch screen with 21:9 aspect ratio easily sets it apart from any...

The much awaited LG BL40 made its way to our labs and onto my table. As usual LG has strayed a bit from the conventional and gone with a slightly off beat design that would appeal to a slightly different audience. The BL40 is a designer mobile that’s m...

Oh, the Chocolate phone. It doesn’t seem that long ago when everyone had to have an LG Chocolate phone. Sure it eventually became a feature phone that came free when you signed up for a multi-year contract, but before that it was the must have phone. I...
LG’s New Chocolate is a slick device. It looks beautiful and the new wide screen has plenty of practical applications, yet the user experience isn’t as smooth as one would expect or hope for. The onscreen keyboard lags, the user interface can be confus...

The LG BL40 is the fourth in the series of Chocolate phones. It certainly retains the original resemblance to a chocolate bar, this one being a decadently dark, thin phone that one usually associates with the more luxurious of chocolate treats. The LG...

LG has built a name for itself in creating really attention-grabbing mobile phone devices. So when the fourth device under the Black Label series, the LG BL40 Chocolate was announced, we were enamored by its looks. To say that the Chocolate is a gem am...
If our opinion of the LG Chocolate's aesthetics hasn't been ingrained in your mind, let us say it again - it looks gorgeous. Odd as the 4-inch screen may be, the Chocolate still looks that much better than any other mobile phone designed for fashion. W...

IT IS easy to see why the LG Chocolate has its name. Its long, flat slab of a body (128 x 51 x 10.9mm) really makes it look like a chocolate bar.LG has sold 36 million pieces of its Chocolate series phones since they were first launched in 2006. The ne...

If 2009 had a shape, it would probably be 21:9. Philips rocked the TV business with its revolutionary Cinema 21:9 LCD earlier this year, and now LG has launched the first mobile phone with a cinematic 21:9 display. Targeted firmly at the forward-thinki...

Performance and conclusion:It´s painfully clear the LG New Chocolate BL40 is stunningly sluggish. The S-Class 3D interface itself looks nice, but all the animations and transition effects make it rather heavy. We would have liked it better if it looked...

The New Chocolate packs enough skill to make comparison with some powerful smartphones almost inevitable. Now, it's obvious the LG BL40 is not in the same league as the likes of Hero, Omnia HD or Nokia X6 but we guess it will be more than welcome for...

The new Chocolate phone is a surprising shape – more Dairy Milk king size than Toffee Crisp thanks to its super-wide screen. That screen looks great, too: vivid, bright and colour-rich. And it comes with plenty of brains to match the beauty, with GPS...
Is the super-widescreen phone the future or a brave experiment? It’s not ideal for texting and the extra space goes unused in lots of applications, though it makes for a usefully big dialling pad. And that screen is eye-catchingly great. But the S-Clas...
