LG have announced the LG Chocolate BL20, which is the latest addition to the LG Chocolate Family. It follows the hugely hyped and successful launch of the LG Chocolate BL40 at the start of September. The LG Chocolate BL40 featured heavily at the recent London fashion week and benefited from a collaboration backed by Sienna Miller, as well as receiving a glowing review from 3G.co.uk.

The LG Chocolate BL20 is a mini-version of the LG Chocolate and it will no doubt follow in its predecessor's success. The LG Chocolate BL20 still has the same trademark Chocolate appearance with the glossy black surface with red "glowing" highlights, but it also has a sliding keypad with red navigation keys. In combination with the new slim-line look, the sliding keypad makes the LG a really sleek compact device that will grace any handbag or pocket.

It features a 5 mega pixel camera which has auto-focus technology to ensure your photos always appear perfect. The new Chocolate BL20 also has touch-sensitive controls which are concealed on the side of the mobile. They enable easy adjustment of functions such as volume, camera zoom and much more. The BL20 also has "Widget hotkeys", which enables users to personalize their mobile with their favourite widgets, such as the weather or sports news. One new feature is the "Clear Memo Capture" which captures text, handwritten notes and drawing with maximum clarity. The LG Chocolate will be available in the UK sometime in the 4th Quarter of this year.

The Environmental Working Group has a comprehensive new study (download the full report as a PDF) that surveys the scientific research on cellphone heath risks and provides radiation data for most of the current cellphones in use. Here’s how the EWG explained the mission of its study:

We at Environmental Working Group are still using our cell phones, but we also believe that until scientists know much more about cell phone radiation, it’s smart for consumers to buy phones with the lowest emissions. The U.S. government ought to require cell phone companies to label their products’ radiation output so that consumers can do the numbers at the point of sale. It doesn’t, so EWG has created this user-friendly interactive online guide to cell phone emissions, covering over 1,000 phones currently on the market.

The EWG study looks at all mobile phones, but since smartphones are becoming a standard tool for businesses and IT professionals, I’ve drilled down and looked at the list from a smartphone perspective. I’ve broken out the 10 smartphones that produce the most radiation, the 10 that product the least amount of radiation, and a list of the radiation ratings of some of the most popular smartphones that did not make either of those two lists.

When you look at these lists, keep in mind that the EWG has also included some older models that are no longer being sold but are still used by many workers and consumers. Also note that “W/kg” stands for watts per kilogram, a measurement for power density.

The 10 smartphones with the highest radiation

T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (1.55 W/kg)
Blackberry Curve 8330 (1.54 W/kg)
Palm Treo 600 (1.53 W/kg)
T-Mobile Shadow (1.53 W/kg)
Palm Treo 650 (1.51 W/kg)
Blackberry Curve 8300 (1.51 W/kg)
Blackberry Bold 9000 (1.51 W/kg)
Sony Ericsson P910a (1.50 W/kg)
HTC SMT 5800 (1.49 W/kg)
BlackBerry Pearl 8120/8130 (1.48 W/kg)

What is the best model available on LG? Which mobile has all the latest features at an affordable cost? Then don’t even hesitate 1 minute to answer for these questions and your one word answer for all these questions must be LG enV touch. The following guide gives you more information about this mobile model. So why are you waiting still? Go ahead and get valuable information,

Heavy rumors prevailed that LG is going to launch “Voyager 2” in the 2009 year beginning but LG voyager 2 was retired and LG gave a new fascinating model named as LG enV touch. This mobile attracts many people and it increases the number of users day by day by its slim and enchanting design. What is the most notable change in this model? Might be your question and the notable change is this model includes two large 3” WVGA displays and a better call quality with a good user interface.

There is no big difference between voyager and this enV in terms of design and you can very well notice it on the first sight. The clamshell form-factor remains intact. Front part is mostly and even almost occupied by the display and it has pewter chrome surrounding it. This reduces the shiny reflective nature of the mobile as it was in the voyager. Back of the mobile is soft in nature. Height and depth of the mobile is slightly less when compared to its predecessor but there is a slight increase in the width as the display size is bit wider. The overall body quality is made good and it withstands any type of shocks and any external attacks.

This mobile has external 3” resistive touch screen display in it and this is impressive as well. Resolution of the screen is 800x480 pixel resolution and this mobile supports up to 1.6 million colors. You can see the color difference from the quality of the images. This mobile also has a light sensor in it which helps in detecting the brightness automatically based on the surrounding light levels. Touch screen of this mobile is resistive to pressures and you can use your finger or a stylus for input. Overall responsiveness of the screen is good and you get a vibration (haptic) when it is pressed.

You can find buttons for Send, Clear/Voice Command, and End/Power in the front side of the mobile. This buttons have a metallic look. You can find the camera button on the left side and a volume rocker and a lock button as well. You are provided with a 3.5mm headset jack with this mobile. You are provided with a MicroSD slot for extending the memory option and you can upgrade up to 4GB. It has a USB port at the bottom. USB is improved when compared to the voyager. This mobile also has BLUETOOTH option in it for connectivity purposes. Connectivity speed in both i.e. USB and BLUETOOTH is faster when compared to the other models available on the market.

You get a 3MP auto focus camera in this mobile. The clarity of the pictures taken by this mobile is excellent and it is of the highest quality possible. Auto focus option helps you to get sharp images. Messaging is made easy now with round edged buttons. This mobile has QWERTY keyboard below the small display. You can also send MMS in this mobile. This mobile supports various bands and it comes with a 950mAh battery.

With all these features undoubtedly this is the best model on the market and the best model on LG as well.

Various companies are introducing mobiles with excellent features that captivate the mobile users. The mobile phones are becoming smaller in size though the features keep increasing. The T mobile is known for releasing such smart pones every year with improved technologies and enhancements.

A recent smart phone launched by the T mobile is ˜my touch 3G™.It uses the high speed data network. It is the second hand set of T mobile to feature Google powered android operating system. The ˜my touch 3G™ hand set is offered in vibrant colors including black, white and distinctive merlot. The mobile looks more admirable in its merlot color. Though this hand set is similar to the T mobile™s G1, there are certain features that differentiate it. The ˜my touch 3G™ mobile offers a deep level of customization. The users can personalize and customize the menus, wall papers, icons and a range of other things with the help of the themes and skins. This makes it unique from the iphone because it has a un customizable look.

Another key point to be noted about the ˜my touch mobile™ is something called Sherpa. Sherpa is nothing but an application that claims to learn from the actions of the user. For instance, if the user is searching on a topic; the Sherpa recognizes your intention and provides more information related to it which you may need in future. Does it sound be unreal? The reality is this; the application has a built in learning engine which has the ability to customize itself based on the user™s preference. This application is created by geodilic and it learns the likes and dislikes of the users through feedbacks and behavior.

The ˜my touch mobile™ uses a virtual keyboard which is a replacement to the physical keyboard used by a G1 mobile. This makes it much smaller and compact than the G1 mobile. The android cup cake software used by the ˜my touch mobile™ gives a unique beautiful look. The memory is also increased when compared to the G1 Mobile. This enables the applications to load and run very smoothly.

Specifications of the ˜my touch mobile™:

o A 3.2 inch TFT LCD screen
o 528 MHZ processor
o network: GSM quad band phone capable of global roaming
o Battery : LI "ION 1340MaH
o Internet ; full HTML browser
o Operating system : Android
o Touch screen: 3.2 inches
o Resolution: 320*480 pixels
o WiFi, GPS connectivity
o 3.2 mega pixel camera with automatic uploads
o Bundles 4GB micro SD card
o Internal memory : 512 MB

The key feature of the iphone namely multi touch is not supported by the ˜my touch mobile™. The battery life of this mobile is more than the G1 mobile and the iphone. The ˜my touch mobile™ is also comparatively cheaper than the iphone with the price ranging from $199.

The ˜my touch mobile™ performs very well even if some other applications are running in the background. The touch screen is made by HTC. The mobile users are able to personalize menus, wall papers and even the icons. The android operating system helps to improve the performance. The ˜my touch mobile™ is stylish in appearance. The only advantage it offers compared to the other recent phones specifically is that it is smaller in size compared to all recent models. The T mobile android battery is also improvised. It is quite pretty and same as the HTC magic mobile phone. Among the ever growing collection of smart phones in recent days, the T mobile my touch is a perfect and appropriate choice for all.

I had a brief hands-on with the device early yesterday, and it left a pretty good impression though I question some of the design choices.

Like the Xenon, the Neon has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and is meant to be a messaging device. It has a nice display and is slim and lightweight. The keyboard only has 3 rows instead of the 4 rows on the Xenon, so it's slightly more cramped. Still, the keys are well-spaced and have a bumpy texture for easier texting. On the front of the Neon is a navigation array complete with the two soft keys and four-way directional pad.

Here's where it gets a little interesting; the LG Neon's display is a touch screen, but only for the phone dialer. You hit a dedicated phone keypad button in the navigation array, and the virtual number keypad will show up. I was able to press the numbers like on an ordinary touch screen display, and there was vibration feedback as well. For the rest of the phone's interface, though, you're stuck with the regular navigation keys. Why LG decided not to make all of the functions of the Neon accessible via touch screen is a mystery to me.

Features of the LG Neon aren't as advanced as the Xenon's. It still has the 2.0-megapixel camera, music player, and stereo Bluetooth, but you won't get 3G and it only supports tri-band GSM. Pricing and availability of the LG Neon are still unknown, though we're sure we'll find out shortly.

Versa is great in design and offers some great functions as well. Speaking of the features of the mobiles, let us go inot the details of what the mobile has to offer. To begin with, let us start about one of the best feature of this mobile which is design. LG Versa is well designed and crafted to almost perfection. The screen and the entire mobile may have a slight resemblance with LG Dare but to be honest, it is better. The screen is 3 inches wide and offers a great resolution of 480 x 240 pixels, supporting over 262,000 colors. The screen is not too much reflective and is nicely built. The size of this mobile is 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and it weighs around 3.8 ounces only excluding the keyboard. Thus, regarding design, LG could not have had managed to design a better looking set than this one.

The calling feature of the mobile is somewhat disappointing as it lacks clarity a bit. The talk time of the mobile is about 4.8 hours and the standby time is around 18 days. The speaker phone of the mobile is decent but not too loud. Battery life is considerably good, however, could have been a bit better. A striking feature of this mobile is that a snap-on keyboard is provided along with it which offers full QWERTY and other key controls. However, in spite of that emailing and messaging features are just average and can turn out to be disappointing to the users.

The internal memory of LG Versa is 310 MB(shared) and there is also room for expandable memory. Presence of Bluetooth, stereo mode is a plus point of the mobile. Again, the web browsing LG Versa offers is also great since it has flash enabled web browsing feature and it really looks nice. GPS technologies are also one of the finer aspects of LG Versa. They are great and provide accurate information regarding the global positioning. However, there is another disappointing feature of this mobile, which is the camera.

The camera of LG Versa is only 2 mega pixels and no marks for guessing, the overall picture quality given by the camera is not up to the mark. The images are often blurred and distorted. This blurry effect predominates when the image is captured while zooming. Although it has auto focus technology but still there should have had been improvement in the camera quality. The music player of the mobile is decent and sounds better than most of the multimedia sets by LG. Thus to sum up, apart from the camera quality and disappointing messaging applications, LG versa still is filled with amazing features and is nicely designed. LG versa looks like a promising smart phones bought forward by LG and will surely turn out to be a good mobile overall.

The W715 looks and feels a lot like the classic W880, yet in a more modern package a la the W995.

The W715 is a slim and compact phone that [...]
