LG have certainly indulged future customers with the new LG BL40 Chocolate phone. It is sleek, stylish and rich in features and applications. Using it for the first time is like biting into a Mars Dark Noir – delicious and satisfying.

The new LG BL40 is one slick premium phone with its shiny black handset bound by a stainless steel trim. It is tall and thin, but not wide. This makes it comfortable to hold and easy to slip into pockets.

The BL40 is chock-full of features like the incredible 4.0-inch wide HD LCD screen with 800x345 pixel resolution. This is by far the phone’s most striking feature, as the LCD sits just below the glass screen that shows brilliant colour and razor-sharp images.

This LG mobile sports an innovative dual touch screen that allows you to view simultaneous windows, which is really handy for email and messaging. The new LG Chocolate does have a bitter aftertaste, however, because on occasion the touchscreen can be a little slow and unresponsive.

The LG BL40 is also teeming with multimedia features including a 5-megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus that doubles as a video recorder. It sports a 3.5mm headphone jack and an FM radio, so you can listen to your favourite tunes. Plus, it comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so you can check your Facebook, Twitter and email.

Overall, the new LG BL40 Chocolate is much like a piece of chocolate mud cake – dense, tasteful and extremely indulgent.
