LG BL40 stars in new ad, passes the FCC with US 3G.
As more and more information LG BL40 appears more details are showing up. Today many more details became apparent. Still, LG has yet to say when it will be released.
LG released a new ad for what seems like South Korea, and showed a few more features of the LG BL40's operating system and it hardware. As I have said in earlier posts it has a 4 inch touch screen, but now it is known that it has the 21:1 aspect ratio and a HD screen, which for me is the first phone I have ever heard has a HD screen. Also it has a complete web display, much like the iPhone. It also has a dual screen UI, that takes advantage of the large touch screen, so once side of the screen is the emails and the other side is the email its self. Also, a panoramic UI for entertainment, much like cover flow on iTunes, the iPhone, and the iPod Touch. Also 1 touch copy and paste, not like the iPhone, but from the video it seems that you double tap then it gets pasted into the email, text message, etc. Also the LG BL40 has passed twice through the FCC, but the first time with no US 3G, which disappointed some people. Now it has passed again with US 3G. Still no word on when it will be released, but there are some speculation that Canadian carrier, Telus, will carry the phone and make its North American debut on there. Also at the end of the advertisement it said "LG BL40 BLACK LABEL SERIES”, so it may not be called "New Chocolate" after all.

Looks awesome! Maybe a little big, but I guess I'll have to see it in person. The OS certainly looks nice, though.
Yes, at first I was like, "Is this a freakish skateboard?" but it may not seem pocketable. Since the OS is flash based like many other phones that LG makes it still looks promising!
