LG Chocolate Touch BL40 review

"The shape of the future" is what LG is promising us with the LG Chocolate Touch BL40. The device was presented as the newest accession in the Black Label family last September.

The 4 inch screen of 800 x 345 pixels certainly gives it an interesting appearance. Since other manufacturers are following this trend it's about time we put the device to the test.

Because of its unique characteristics it's difficult to identify its direct competitors. Non-smartphones, like the Samsung S8000 Jet and LG GC900 Smart Viewty will probably be the most fierce competition.

Unboxing

Besides the device the box contains a 1000 mAh battery, a white in-ear headset, a USB cable, a manual and a CD-ROM. The headset is of good quality, although the white colour of the headset seems somewhat strange. The headset is pleasant to use and has a 3.5 mm audio jack plug. The device has no microSD memory card and that's rather strange, since this device supposedly is the trophy of LG. Why safe money on that?
