LG announces a new Chocolate. The BL20

LG has announced a smaller model in the Chocolate series. The BL20 is much smaller than the recently announced BL40 21:9 widescreen high-end model. BL20 does not have a touch screen interface but the navigation buttons are touch sensitive. These buttons are hidden until the phone is slid open.

Most of the recent LG phone models have a large touchscreen and where the phone itself is quite large. The BL20 is a more ordinary phone with real number keys and a slightly smaller display measuring 2.4 inches with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution. A new feature introduced is the touch sensitive side controls.

BL20 comes with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and video recording, but sadly without WLAN or GPS.
