LG Chocolate BL20 review - Mobile Phone - Trusted Reviews
The LG Chocolate BL20 is a low cost phone with high-fashion pretensions and as such, it has its fair share of compromises...However, this week we're looking at the BL40's little sibling, the BL20...In fairness, that's the only major issue we have with the build quality as the rest of the BL20 is well put together with no hint of wobble in the all-metal slide mechanism and...

LG New Chocolate BL40 movie phone • reghardware
To our eyes, the BL40 looks lovely, with its glass front, glossy black plastic back, tasteful metal strip around the sides with some snazzy red trim on top and bottom...LG's S-Class interface has had a bit of an update to make it a little easier to use...Call quality was clear and sounded decent enough through the BL40's large speaker and we never had any problems accessing a network...
