LG BL40 Chocolate Touch gets the hands-on treatment... on video!

We've still got our hopes up for an August 23rd launch date, but in the meantime we do have a, well, tasty video of LG's BL40 Chocolate Touch to tide us over. As you might have guessed, the UI is of the 3D S-Class variety. The accelerometer looks pretty snappy, and watching video seems to be a joy on the 4-inch, 21:9 display. Of course, we could give you a scene-by-scene recap, but we'd hate to spoil this Oscar-worthy production for you. Peep it yourself after the break.




See more video at our hub!

One thing I don't understand is how anyone, and I see this often, does a video preview, review or whatever it is of a touchscreen phone without showing you the virtual keyboard and it's ability. I can't be alone in this complaint, but I see it far too often. I would like to thank everyone and anyone who provides us with an early look at the new phones, but from now on can we please can get a look and sense of the keyboard. It can make or break the "nicest" of touchscreen phones.

Thanks!

Why do so many phone review video makers never know about MACRO focus on their cameras??

I actually find this phone quite good looking. I can't be alone here.

Also, does anyone know if this is coming to Verizon? They usually release chocolate products.

so disappointed. really had high expectations. i actually thought id be able to move from my nokia 5800 to this. no way! that video was so ridiculously choppy. & so was the scrolling of the icons. not to mention those are the ugliest menus ive ever seen in my life. the lg video made the interface look so amazing, but i guess its not really the case. i would have liked this video to include the virtual keyboard, contacts scrolling, horizontal main menu, & side-by-side screen multitasking feature.
