LG found that it had a hit on its hands when debuted its first "Chocolate" phones in 2006 (the KG800 in Europe and the VX8500 in the US), and it's no surprise to see that there will soon be a successor.
The second-generation Chocolate phone, model number BL40, has officially been unveiled today and it's every bit as sexy as the original, if not more.
The handset retains the glossy finish synonymous to LG's Chocolate range, as well as the so-called "iconic red highlights".
New to the second-gen handset is a 4in screen with a 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio that delivers an 800x345 resolution - it has the makings of a useful portable media player, we reckon, and a width of 800 pixels should make web browsing far easier on the eye.
There's a five megapixel camera at the rear, and though further details remain slim, we should be seeing the handset in stores this September.
