With the new LG Chocolate BL20 mobile cell phone, you are ensured a chystal clear mobile experience with it’s fantastic resolution. You’ll also like to know that despite its looks, it’s actually very solid and far from cheap and flimsy.
Its hidden navigation system and colourful backlighting provide a glossy finish to an otherwise standard slide phone. Unlike its Chocolate predecessors, the BL20 lacks a touch screen, but makes up for it with buttons that are integrated into the body of the phone and providing an exciting and new mobile phone experience.
The Features
The LG Chocolate BL20 boasts a 5-megapixel camera which produces immaculate pictures and has raised the bar in the world of mobile phone cameras. It includes the basic flash, auto-focus and a zoom feature as well as an exciting variety of high-end features such as geo-tagging, smile, blinking and face detection sensors. Taking pictures on your phone will never be the same again. Although the pristine picture quality may have compromised the video playback, as the BL20 is at times sluggish and jerky when viewing video playback.
The BL20 has an impressive music player enables the listener to organise their music by artist, album, title or genre. Combine that with the phone’s Bluetooth capability and the BL20 enables you to listen to your favorite tracks on the nearest stereo.
The most revolutionary feature on the BL20 has to be the introduction of the Widget Hotkey present on their menu. The hotkeys stream information of the user’s choice directly to your phone screen. Whether you need to keep up to date with news headlines, weather or the stock market, the LG Chocolate BL20 guarantees information is only a click away.
Memory
With all these high quality and dramatic features, a phone like the BL20 needs buckets of memory and it doesn’t disappoint. The BL20 provides an impressive integrated memory of 130 megabytes with an additional 8 GB memory card. The BL20 succeeds where other mobile phones have failed before it by providing enough memory to justify its features.
The first handset in the LG’s Chocolate range was certainly a tough act to follow, with thousands of handsets flying off the shelves worldwide – unsurprisingly. This new addition to the range, alongside the BL40, is a worthy successor. After all, it brings the approachability of the first phone in line with some new features.
