Here are the first official press shots of the new LG Chocolate cell phone (BL40).  This is no tease.  LG’s latest Black Label device and will soon find a home on a network (Verizon, please!).  Although there is no word on official price or release date yet, at least now we have some scrumptious images to glaze over.  From the looks of it, the new Chocolate will continue the path to success that its former brethren have reached.

Update: LG has released the first advertisement of the BL40.  Granted, it is a commercial for the Japanese market, but it still shows off some of the phones features and the sleek user interface in action.  There’s dual screen UI, panoramic entertainment, and look, there’s even copy and paste.  Sweet.

LG is teasing the latest iteration of its Chocolate handset.  The LG Chocolate series of phones is LG’s most popular and best-selling handset to date.  Officially, LG has only unveiled shadowy images the “second generation LG Chocolate.”  More information will sprout between now and its supposed August release.  Engadget was told: “The new LG Chocolate will be a disruptive force in conventional mobile screens in an effort to maximize usability while inheriting the original minimalist-inspired style and iconic design of its predecessor.”  Sounds delicious to me.

Update:  Engadget has received word of some specifications from the usually reliable source Tweakers.net:  “[The LG Chocolate] will become the first of its kind with a 21:9 aspect ratio display.  We’re also told that the model number will be BL-40, the screen resolution will be pegged at 800 x 345, the display itself will be over 3-inches diagonally, the inbuilt camera will be 5 megapixels, and HSDPA will be included.”  Check out some additional (and official) images after the break.
