Chocolate with a funny keypad: the LG KE820
What makes the KE820 different from the KG99 we told you about way back in July? We wish we could tell you; apart from a more subtle checkerboard pattern on the keypad and a shiny new model number tacked onto it, we're hard pressed to find any changes. The screen real estate appears to have changed from 220 x 176 to 176 x 144, but we suspect that's a typo. Anyhoo, here we go again: you get a 2-megapixel cam, microSD expansion, 128MB of internal storage, triband GSM with EDGE (you guessed it -- no 850 band), A2DP, and an FM radio. Not bad, if you can get used to the odd keypad layout.[Via Mobilewhack]
LG preparing another Chocolate-like phone
LG is really running with the checkerboard keypad theme these days as details are beginning to emerge on the KG99, a candybar with fairly obvious Chocolate roots. No word on whether the phone falls into LG's Black Label category, but at 95 x 52 x 9.9mm, it seems chic enough for the task. Specs are unconfirmed at this point, but the phone is reported to sport triband GSM (sorry yanks, no 850), a 220 x 176 display, microSD slot, Bluetooth, and an FM radio. Now granted, as a fashion phone, we may not be the KG99's target demographic, but the specs still feel a bit weak to us -- we're going to wait a few weeks and see what else is in the checkerboard pipeline.[Via Slashphone]
