Mobile USA just announced that it will offer LG Bliss, telephone with 3-inch touchscreen, stereo Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera, camcorder, music player, memory expansion slot MicroSD, supports up to 16 GB of flash cards, full HTML browser, e-mail, GPS, and much more. Bliss is available now for $ 99 after rebates and new contract.
Engadget Mobile got this leaked photo of what looks like the LG Chocolate Touch for Verizon, and will not know yet, it does not look at all like LG BL40, that the Europeans are beginning this fall. No giant 4-inch screen, 21:9 aspect ratio, exactly. Which makes us wonder if this is indeed the LG Chocolate Touch, or if any other phone LG.
But since we are accustomed to not getting enough of the European model, we would not be surprised if it really Chocolate Touch, that we waited. Seeing as the holiday season comes up, we probably know that soon enough LG Chocolate VX8575 Touch really looks like.
You will recall that it was the phone we all seemed too long and great feel comfortable, but it’s actually quite compact - as Ipod Nano, just a little thicker and heavier. Its 4.1-inch thick capacitive touch responsive too, with rich colors and tight pixel density, which gives a clear menu and image. It feels solid and well built, too.

     Its menu system works - unfortunately - as the LG Arena, but a huge wide screen enables the phone to submit their content more intuitively. For example, when viewing a text message me people you’ve conversed with listed as the left half of the screen. However, when you press one of their names, your posts will appear in a window on the right half of the screen - this is like using a computer with two monitors. You will see photos that illustrate this in the gallery above.
Regarding the specifications, 5 BL40-megapixel camera only backup with a simple LED flash. To be honest, for the phone kit for use in clubs and bars, a xenon flash would have been an epic victory in terms of design. But he received a proper 3.5 mm headphone socket for listening to MP3-files; 7.2Mbps HSPDA data for downloading, support for MPEG-4, DivX, Xvid video formats, Wi-Fi; Stereo Bluetooth and A-GPS — - all different lines have to bow your phone.
Now, we only spent half an hour later with a phone in their hands, and it is not long enough to use as a basis for the recommendation. But at this early stage BL40 looks like the smartest and most attractive, from the company LG Black Label phones and we are seriously looking forward to getting in the same house for a full review.
It will be launched Orange in the next two to three weeks, but still no word on when and if it will make its way into the U.S.
It was a great story of CES 2009, but LG is now putting the final touches on its first phone, watch and put it on sale, if you know where to look. You can only buy LG GD910 through one shop Orange in the UK - on Bond Street, London - at the moment, for wages as you go tariff 500 British pounds, although there will be a limited number of available online later this month (Register your interest here).
We had the opportunity to try one of the brief before Wednesday, and that struck us that it is actually pretty basic device. We are so accustomed to see the phone is functional, Apps, and a hundred ways to get access to your Twitter on the toilet, it felt like a disappointment.

LG makes a great deal of it is not just a phone, a 3G-phone, and Superfast HSDPA one at that. But before we get carried away thinking that you’ll have access to the Internet, check email and so on, be careful - 3G is only for video calls. (Does anyone know who actually does this?) To be fair, there’s no way you would like something like a browser on this thing, as the screen just 36 mm (1.4 inches), but it is still It seemed strange to us.
There are only three buttons on all devices on the edge, which you use to bring up context menus and the like. You use the touch screen for everything else.
Calling people, video or otherwise, is quite simple. If they are in the phone book already, you simply select its name. If not, dialing on the touch screen is much easier than you think - soft keys on the touch screen enough space between them so that you can type quickly without errors.
Video and voice calls all passed through the internal speaker, turning the clock in the normal speakerphone. This all may seem rather silly and cause irritation lot about you, but you should not bring Watch up to his mouth to be heard, if you will not have their best impressions of Dick Tracy.
You’ll feel even more stupid if you use a headset Bluetooth LG delivers, though - while ignoring the fact that everyone using the headset should sign the register for the good of society, it has a very long microphone arm, right from the start naughties. Again, with the headset, people around you will not hear on the other end of the conversation, so not all that bad.
View the menu is quite easy, but actually a little tricky to tackle initially. Getting the drop down menus on the screen can be difficult, and some of the icons, does not make sense for the first time you see them. But this is just a phone, it does not take long to learn how to use it.
The music player supports MP3 and AAC files, though only 80 MB of memory and a headphone jack, you will not put a lot there.
You write a memo with the main text input T9, which is included when you use a standard phone keypad, which appears on the screen. If you understand, T9, you do not have a problem, and you can write a message as soon as possible with ease. There is also a calendar that we are told is synchronized with your computer, although we have not had time to try. Creating and editing events is difficult on the small screen, so you want to be able to sync it with something.

But at the same time, whether you buy one comes down to how to handle you think you will look on your head. From void to talk only 2,1 hours, it’s not particularly practical for everyday use, but as a second phone for a certain type of poser, it takes some beating. Just do not say that we did not warn you if the novelty wears off.
