LG Gets Official With the LG BL20 Chocolate Phone

The LG BL20 Chocolate takes with it the same type of design savvy that made the original Chocolate handsets so popular. LG hopes their new phone will become the must have “fashion accessory” for fashion conscience consumers. Personally I think it looks dated and out of touch.

The phone which features a slider built design with a standard keypad is definitely retro by today’s standards and unfortunately with sleek touchscreen devices it even seems out of touch, regardless of the touch panel frontside design and unique contours.

The BL20 also offers a 5mp camera which includes an LED Flash and Autofocus alongside a 2.4-inch display, Quad-band GSM and an 8GB microSDHC card for added expandable memory. It also supports 3G networks for high speed browsing and downloading.

The LG BL20 is set for an October release and will run $394 off contract. No word yet on a 2-year contract price. [SlipperyBrick]
