14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is expected to soon announce yet another mobile phone that will fit into its Chocolate series, the LG New Chocolate BL20. Still unofficial, the upcoming member of the company's Black Label series has been recently spotted in a video promo, and now its full specifications have made it into the wild via LG's website.
Most of you might have already encountered the device, which means that you might not be surprised of what it comes to the market with. The fashionable slider sports touch-sensitive keys, yet includes neither a built-in GPS receiver, nor a Wi-Fi connectivity, which might prove quite a loss for some of the users out there.
On the other hand, it still includes an ARM9 processor, 128 MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM, a 2.4-inch TFT QVGA display that boasts support for 262K colors, as well as a 5-megapixel photo snapper that comes around with auto focus, flash and video-recording capabilities, PC Sync features, a WAP 2.0/HTML/XHTML web browser, as well as SMS and MMS 1.2 capabilities, not to mention its email features (SMTP, POP3, IMAP4).
The specifications list of the LG New Chocolate BL20 also includes Bluetooth 2.1 and USB 2.0 on the connectivity side, as well as support for the GSM / GPRS / EDGE (900/1800/1900MHz) and UMTS/HSDPA (900/2100MHz) frequencies. The handset also boasts a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 16GB, measures 106.9 x 50.8 x 12.3 mm and weighs 115 grams.
According to the news around the Web, the LG New Chocolate BL20 is expected to become available for purchase sometime before the end of the ongoing year, yet an official announcement should make things even more clear. No details on the pricing of the device have emerged for the time being. Stay tuned to learn more details on it as soon as they become available.
