About this deal

In 2009, LG released the New Chocolate (BL40) in Europe, Asia and Canada, alongside a non-touch New Chocolate model BL20. The numeric keypad is exceptionally good though with decent sized and well spaced keys that are very easy to distinguish even without looking at them. The front part of the phone shell has a mirror-like finish that really makes it look classy. When closed, the slider has a rather monolith construction so there were a few people that tried opening it as a flip phone instead of a slider. That's really something since mobile phones nowadays are invading every part of our lives so to be able to produce something innovative really counts. It was released in China in April 2006 (GSM model KG90, CDMA model KG90c), [16] [17] and internationally as GSM model KG800 in May 2006, which had its marketing strategy planned and executed [18] by John Bernard, a marketer based in the UK. [19]

You may assume that pink chocolate has been made using artificial colors and flavors, but would you believe if we tell you that pink chocolate gets its color from an extract obtained from ruby cocoa beans? Pink or the Ruby chocolate is a product of extensive research, and it's finally here! LG‘s much talked about Chocolate phone made its UK debut on Wednesday to the popping of champagne corks and a flurry of excited LG execs. Tech Digest was invited along to the launch and what do you know? – we only managed to squirrel away our own handset to play with!One major failing of this handset is that you have no way of expanding the internal memory. Now, there is 128MB of this designated as multimedia storage. This is fairly generous, but it is nowhere near enough for you to consider using the Chocolate KG800 as a substitute for a dedicated music player. At least copying music across is no problem as the handset functions as a USB Mass Storage device, and you get a cable in the box. A slightly modified version of the KG800, released as the LG TG800, was sold by Rogers Wireless and Fido in Canada, released on the market in November 2006. [21] Additionally, Bell Mobility has a modified version of this phone that works on their CDMA/ 3G EVDO network despite the offering of the LG Chocolate (VX8500) in Canada available there through Telus Mobility.

The most we can tell about how pink chocolate gets it pink hue is from a patent that the chocolatier filed in 2009. According to the document's details, one can make cocoa-derived materials purple or red by simply minimizing the fermentation (3 or fewer days). The product is then treated with acid, and the fatty acids are removed by petroleum ether. If this process is closely followed, it's possible to create new hues which are otherwise lost in the extensive production process. Many companies file fancy patents, but not all of them are approved, are they?

Key specs

Another button-related oddity arises when we look at the right edge. Here are housed the volume and camera buttons, which are also touch-sensitive. They work perfectly well but we certainly wouldn’t say they’re any better than traditional physical buttons, especially the camera button, which obviously won’t have the two pressure levels you get with a physical button; one for focussing/exposure metering and another for taking the shot. It boasts a generally pretty standard set of features: a 2″, 256k colour display, 1.3 megapixel camera and 128MB memory. The pleasant surprises come in the form of its smaller than expected dimensions (9.5 x 4.8 x 1.5cm) and particularly light weight (approximately 85g). You may also have read about the “hidden LCD” screen which had us confused for a while. It turns out that the red buttons on the front aren’t buttons at all but in fact a touch-keypad section which lights up when you slide it open.

We can never be sure about the exact recipe of Ruby chocolate unless the manufacturers decide to disclose it. Till then, let's just enjoy the fruitiness of the berry and the luxurious smoothness of the Ruby chocolate! What is the Flavor Like of the Pink Chocolate? The Chocolate single-handedly helped turn LG Electronics's business from a loss to profit by the end of 2006. [28] Successors [ edit ]

LG Chocolate KG800 - Pros & Cons

So what’s different? Well, the BL40 is a tall slim candybar phone with a solid glass touchscreen front. In contrast, the BL20 is a shorter slider phone with a keypad and no touchscreen. You can’t answer a call with the slider closed. You have to slide up to take incoming calls, and can end them by sliding down. We're calling the introduction of pink chocolate a Pink Storm because it's all set to shake the global chocolate industry. Ruby chocolate was first made in 2017 by the chocolatier Barry Callebaut. The pink-hued chocolate is a patented product branded as the latest and the 4th type of chocolate after white, dark, and milk chocolates. It was first brought to market by Nestle in 2018 as the pink 'berry-good' Kit Kat in Japan.
