LG Mobile has announced the launch of a luxury version of its award-winning Chocolate phone. The LG Chocolate Platinum brings even greater functionality to the Chocolate range of handsets as well as superb new styling. Keeping the now famous glowing red touch keypad, the handset is enhanced by a Platinum band bearing the Chocolate legend and a gentle update of the classic LG Chocolate styling.
On board, functionality has been massively increased. LG Chocolate Platinum has an SD card memory slot, an upgraded 2.0-megapixel camera an FM radio and twice as much on-board memory as the original Chocolate handset (256 MB rather than 128 MB). It also has an upgraded class-leading MP3, MPEG-4 and AAC music and video player and stereo Bluetooth functionality that allows users to enjoy their favourite music in best quality via a wireless Bluetooth headset. With the addition of an external memory card, LG Chocolate Platinum comes into its own as a stylish music player. To compliment the handset's playback capabilities, which also includes a real 5-band graphic equalizer to adjust tones, users can search through their music using voice activated commands as well as a keyword search function.
