LG GD510 “Pop”: style & solar charging, but short on specs

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 30th 2009 No Comments

Sometimes a gadget comes along that is so pretty that, when you realise it has a spec-sheet more barren than the Sahara, you can’t help but tear at your chest and roar. LG’s GD510 “Pop” isn’t quite so bad as all that, but it’s a handsome 3-inch touchscreen phone – the most compact ever with such a screen-size, they say – with a brushed aluminum body that throws out most of the things we take for granted in today’s handsets. WiFi we can live without, but a handset lacking 3G? For shame!

Verizon LG Chocolate Touch spotted in wild: no BL40 goodness here

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 21st 2009 No Comments

Images of Verizon’s upcoming LG Chocolate Touch VX8575 have leaked, and it seems that the BL40’s distinctive stylings were indeed too unusual for the CDMA carrier’s tastes. According to phoneArena, Verizon had two prototypes of their Chocolate Touch – one resembling the BL40, the other a more restrained design – and following focus groups decided to go with the somewhat mundane style you see here.

LGBL40 Coming To Europe In September and October Everywhere Else

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 3 Comments

The LG BL40 has been something of a mystery, not so much in specs or even images, but more than anything else a mystery in of itself. The sheer aesthetics of the device make the average person cock their head to the side, and scratch the top of their skull in wonderment. Is that a phone? It sure is, and it just so happens to be a perfect phone for watching widescreen movies.

LG BL40 Gets A Look Over and Compared

By Evan Selleck on Tuesday, Aug 25th 2009 No Comments

LG hasn’t always been known of releasing strange looking phones, but chalk it up to the BL40 to take that prize, and wear the belt proudly. There is something to gain from having an elongated screen, sure, like watching videos on your new-fangled device, but we can’t help but wonder about every day use. And it looks like the guys over at Mobile Review are feeling the same way, after having some time to play around with it and take a plethora of snapshots.

As well as a fair sized dollop of BlackBerry detail, there’s also a splash of Android and some feature-phones to be had too.
