LG's KE800 Chocolate Platinum: the KG800's and KV-6000's pretty baby

Mmm, yummy leaked photos of LG's Chocolate v2, otherwise known as the KE800 Chocolate Platinum, unofficially that is. While it certainly shares the looks of LG's KV-6000 Black Label II slider, this model goes tri-band 900/1800/1900 with GPRS (like the KG800) and now EDGE data while doubling the internal memory to 256MB and packing a bigger 2 megapixel shooter with autofocus and macro mode. What's more, you get an FM radio to accompany that media player supporting MP3/AAC/AAC+/AAC++ and WAV formats along with microSD expansion and Bluetooth stereo support to make this is viable music phone. All these bumps yet it measures a scant 9.9-mm / 0.39-inch thin compared to its relatively chubby 15.2-mm / 0.69-inch VZW Chocolate cuz. No word on where or when but without the 850MHz band, we're happy to wait for this to go quad, right Cingular users?

I was in Korea in June and saw this phone in person. It was fully operational so I expect it'll be in market soon.

It was one of the nicer phones I've ever seen. Clean, high end design that reminds you of a Cbanel lipstick case. They'll let you custom engrave the steel band around the phone as well.

LG's Chocolate brand is one of the most popular cell phones here and in Asia. That mighty phone looks spectacular. If it came to the states, I would for sure get one. It would likely come to the States because of their Chocolate here, this looks like a Chocolate 2. This is a really nice phone no doubt.
