LG preparing another Chocolate-like phone

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 10th 2006 at 12:19PM

LG is really running with the checkerboard keypad theme these days as details are beginning to emerge on the KG99, a candybar with fairly obvious Chocolate roots. No word on whether the phone falls into LG's Black Label category, but at 95 x 52 x 9.9mm, it seems chic enough for the task. Specs are unconfirmed at this point, but the phone is reported to sport triband GSM (sorry yanks, no 850), a 220 x 176 display, microSD slot, Bluetooth, and an FM radio. Now granted, as a fashion phone, we may not be the KG99's target demographic, but the specs still feel a bit weak to us -- we're going to wait a few weeks and see what else is in the checkerboard pipeline.

Reminds me of a HTC Muse.

Whoa... did I just say a handset reminded me of a Windows Mobile handset... that is bad.

BTW. WM 5 is great, its just the form factors, when am I going to see a Samsung D series, a Motorola RAZR or Sony K series handset run windows mobile?

I hate it when they call all black ones, chocolate.

Everytime I see the picture of the black item I think of super dark, bitter, nasty chocolate made without any milk whatsoever.

do you know if LG will be coming out with a brown color to make it more like "chocolate?"
