The BL20 Chocolate features a sliding keypad, which is only visible once the phone is opens and although it may not be a useful function it still looks pretty cool. The LG Chocolate originally sold very well, and this new phone comes with loads of little perks that its predecessor did not have. The phone features a 5 megapixel digital camera embedded into the design of the phone itself, so that you don’t have to take your digital camera on trips where you may be worried about losing it, as the phone will be over adequate for the job.
The camera can also be used by a special application on the phone, which captures real life text written on paper and transforms it into text on the phone. For instance, business cards can be photographed, and a program automatically reads all the information on them and puts it in an easy to display table view, showing titles such as the company address, the phone number, the email address amongst other things.
Bottom left of the screen is a button which is a quick widget application. You can set up your 4 most used programs, commonly text messaging, your address book, the camera and your phone book, and you can access all of these at the touch of a button. This saves you time when trying to complete tasks quickly especially useful when in a rush.
If you like the sound of the LG Chocolate BL20, then pop down to your local phone shop and ask them what plan it is available on, or alternatively search on the internet to find some great BL20 deals.
If you have been yearning for a stylish mobile phone and have no heart for the techie-looking styles of most mobile devices, then LG has got quite a mobile phone for you. The BL20 Chocolate is a phone that earns its fame for its impressive visual appeal. The design of the phone, its colors, button layout and overall appearance are so strikingly good that getting this device purely for its looks would be a reasonable action. Of course, LG is no slouch and they have put in some pretty impressive hardware and features on this device. The LG BL20 has great functionality and even greater form, a perfect fit for the most visually discerning mobile phone enthusiasts.
Hardy Hardware
When you have a phone that looks really good, you start wondering whether the manufacturer may have sacrificed features. With the BL20, LG still delivers excellent functionality. BL20 reviews are quick to point out that despite the phone’s fashionable purpose, it does not lose out in terms of practicality. The device has a 2.4 inch screen, a 5 mega pixel camera, support for 16GB microSD cards (and lower) and a battery with an amazing 450 hours of standby time (that is approximately 5 hours of talk time).
This is a serious 3G device with a great look exterior. Expect to do your web browsing via 3G HSDPA (or if not available, on GPRS or EDGE) and make full use of several of the fancy widgets that are already included in the device.
A Good Comeback
The BL20 new Chocolate phone is a good step for LG. Combining product releases like these with their other top-tier devices goes to show the design sensibility and engineering know how that has made LG the third largest mobile phone manufacturer. With the current direction of their Chocolate series, it is exciting to wonder what the next mobile phone to carry this name will be.
