The Unforgettable Taste of LG’s New Chocolate Goes Global

New handset offers a brand new mobile experience

Hong Kong, November 4, 2009 – LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, announced today the worldwide availability of the new LG Chocolate phone (LG BL40), offering customers outside of Europe a closer look at the eagerly-awaited widescreen device. The new LG Chocolate is the fourth handset in LG’s Black Label Series and successor to the highly-acclaimed LG Chocolate.

Following its inaugural launch in the U.K., the new LG Chocolate’s red carpet event in Hong Kong will showcase the phone’s unconventional design direction and highlight its unique partnerships in entertainment and fashion, including collaborations with designer label Twenty8Twelve and Twentieth Century Fox.

The event will bring together high-profile names who have been inspired by the new LG Chocolate’s unconventional design, viewing and usability features. Asia’s leading actress Chi-ling Lin from Taiwan and Singapore TV personality and jewelry designer Nadya Hutagalung will share with the audience their personal experience with the new phone.

Furthermore, as part of LG’s association with Twentieth Century Fox, the new Chocolate phone will come embedded with content from director James Cameron’s epic 3D fantasy, Avatar. Jon Landau, the film’s producer, will be on hand in Hong Kong to introduce exclusive footage of this highly-anticipated movie.

“Having offered Europe a taste of the new LG Chocolate, we are now delighted to introduce this new mobile experience to the world,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We expect the new LG Chocolate, which represents the epitome of Black Label Series design superiority, to have a strong connection with all consumers around the globe who value unconventional thinking.”

Featuring a stretched 21:9 ratio HD panoramic display, the mobile experience has been reinvented by LG for a better user experience when browsing web pages, checking e-mails or viewing videos on the new LG Chocolate’s cinema-like screen.

The new LG Chocolate was first revealed to the public in the U.K. in September. Starting November 5, the handset will be available to customers worldwide.
