When the Motorola RAZR hit the mobile industry a few years back, it certainly did get a lot of attention and a lot of consumers were really attracted to it. It’s not that it boasts high-end specs and features, but its sleek design is definitely its major attraction.



While it has been years since we’ve seen a Motorola RAZR, another of it is bound to come out, this time in LuK Hot Pink version. Actually, there’s also a 3G LuK version of it, which was released back in February of this year. Specs remain the same including 7.2Mbps HSDPA, video calling, and Bluetooth.

LG has unveiled details about its new LG BL40 Chocolate, an extremely thin and attractive touchscreen device.



This newest addition to LG's "Black Label" Chocolate family features a 4.0-inch touchscreen display with 800 x 345 pixel resolution for cinematic quality images. The display is covered by stylish, curved tempered glass. The wide 21:9 aspect ratio lets users more easily browse the web, and a dual-content interface lets users display different pieces of content simultaneously. In pictures the hardware looks extremely minimalistic, without so much as a visible button aside from the touchscreen display and what appears to be a volume rocker and dedicated camera key. The pictures also detail a 5.0 megapixel camera, although that detail was not confirmed by LG's press release.

The LG Chocolate BL40 will be available in the third quarter of 2009

LG comes up with a 3G version of their LG Wine, which was released back in January as a very basic low-to-mid end clamshell phone. Nothing much has changed though, but having it work for 3G network makes it decent enough.



Specs and features remain unknown but it looks like it will still have the basics including the 1.3-inch external display, 2.2-inch internal display, 1.3-megapixel camera, text-to-speech, GPS, Bluetooth, and obviously, a large alphanumeric keypad with quick-access keys. This is so because this device (or rather the previous LG Wine) is targeted to middle-aged and older consumers.

The LG Wine 3G phone will be launched in Korea sometime around in September under SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom, though pricing still remains unknown.
