August 7th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , Motorola , Windows Mobile , CDMA , Apple , Acer Here’s some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of mobile for Friday, August 7th, 2009: In addition to the BL40 and BL42, it looks like LG’s upcoming Chocolate series is also going to include a lower-end BL20 according to a newly-uncovered user agent profile . Whatever it is, it’s got a QVGA display — a far cry from the epic 21:9 unit on the BL40. [Via PhoneArena ] Motorola’s W562 candybar for China has broken cover , and needless to say, you won’t find any Android here. CDMA and a 2 megapixel camera, yes, but no Android. More baby steps are being taken in states’ fights to jam phone signals in and around prisons. This time around, a Senate subcommittee has sent a bill to the full Senate that would allow individual states to plead their jamming case to the FCC, which — as of right now, anyway — seems pretty lukewarm to the idea in general. [Via Phone Scoop ] Acer — like Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, RIM, Palm, Google, LG, Samsung, and your cousin Ralph — is opening an app store . It expects the store to be ready in the next few months as it ramps up the barrage of new WinMo devices it’s been pimping over the course of the year. [Via PHONE Magazine ] South Korea’s KT has confirmed that it’ll carry the iPhone at some point, though it’s refusing to spill details on exactly when or how that’ll go down. SKT’s apparently still in the mix, too, so we could end up without carrier exclusivity here.

July 17th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , Telus Mobility Good news and bad news for US netizens waiting to hear more from LG’s sexy new BL40 . First, it just passed through the FCC thus confirming the model number on this oddball Black Label-series handset with what appears to be a 21:9 aspect ratio. And the fact that it’s now FCC tested is also indicative that we’re nearing launch with 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, FM transmitter, and 1000mAh Li-Ion battery confirmed within. Unfortunately, testing was limited to GSM 850/1900 and the device is repeatedly referred to as a GSM/EDGE phone — in other words, no 3G. However, while most of the documents are withheld from public viewing at the request of LG, this particularly revealing exchange with the test lab was not: Test lab: “While the licensed transmitter’s Operational Description, for the most part, lists only non- U.S. bands for WCDMA, p.7/12 states that ‘this design guideline shows UMTS 2100, UMTS1900 and UMTS850 applications.’ Please clarify.” LG: “The main chipset supports GSM850/GSM1900/UMTS850/UMTS1900 but BL40 supports GSM850 & GSM1900.” Of course, UMTS850/1900 are the standard 3G bands used by AT&T in North America which makes this all the more perplexing. See the relevant screen-grab after the break. Update : It just occurred to us what might be happening. Those 3G bands will be enabled when the LG BL40 launches on Telus ‘ new HSPA network in Canada as its first GSM device. Hey, it’s just a hunch but it certainly makes sense.

July 16th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Unlike HTC and Nokia, LG has a reputation for playing by the rules and submitting fully to the whims of US carriers, which means that if a carrier doesn’t pick up a device for inclusion in its lineup, you’re simply not going to see it with North American 3G — the best you’ll be able to do is an international import with EDGE. So far, we’re not seeing anything to suggest that the mighty BL40 will be bucking that trend, unfortunately; it’s just earned itself some FCC approval on GSM 850 / 1900 alone. Since Verizon essentially owns the Chocolate brand around here, that’s not to say we won’t see a CDMA version before too long — but hopes for an unlocked version whose molasses-like radio doesn’t make you want to gouge your own eyes out are fading quickly.

LG’s other Black Label, the BL42 slider, gets exposed
July 16th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG Remember that slightly stouter but still rather obelisky-looking Black Label cousin of LG’s BL40 we spied earlier this morning? We’ve now spotted a lot more pictures of the thing — and its crimson slide-out keypad. Dubbed the BL42, it sports light-up nav buttons, a 240 x 320 screen, and what looks to be the same five megapixel camera found in its slightly taller brethren, specs that should allow it to slot quite neatly into the Chocolate lineup — at some indeterminate time and place in the future.

July 16th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS The more we see of LG’s latest Black Label handset — the mysterious BL40 — the more we want to touch it, play with it, talk on it, and put it (or, at least try to put it) in our pockets. Shots of the bizarre-yet-beautiful phone have appeared over on a German forum where we’re told the interface is S-Class -based, the screen is 800 x 345, and the camera is 5 megapixels strong with Schneider Kreuznach optics — all specs that fall in line with what we’ve heard so far — and there’s also apparently WiFi, an FM transmitter, and about 335MB of free onboard storage (easily rectified with a huge microSD card, of course). What has us even more intrigued, though, is a single picture in the bunch that shows the BL40 next to a smaller, stouter device with virtually identical industrial design. We have no idea what it is, but it looks like LG might be poised to roll out a whole series of phones in this new Black Label line — and which ones are Chocolate-branded is anyone’s guess at this point.

July 13th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , LG , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS We can’t verify the authenticity of the video, but it seems a little far-fetched to believe that even LG diehards out there would’ve been able to toil away making a very legit-looking promo piece for the company’s recently-teased new Chocolate in such a short period of time — so we’re tentatively going to say we think we’re looking at the real thing here. That said, what we’ve got is nothing short of drool-worthy: the rumored 21:9 800 x 345 display appears real (which is said in the video to be 4 inches diagonal), plus there’s a gorgeous Flash-based 3D UI, multitouch, AGPS, WiFi, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and a glass screen surface that’s said to be scratch-proof, all packed into an impossibly thin case. Yes, we know everyone’s been trying to sound the dumbphone death knell for years now — but frankly, you’d have to have a grossly miscalibrated monitor to not have a special place in your heart what you’re seeing here. Follow the break for the quite-possibly-authentic video in full.
