The LG Chocolate Platinum is an update of the LG Chocolate. It was originally introduced in Korea in June 2006 (SV600/KV6000) [1] before being introduced internationally in November 2006 (KE800). [2] The phone also is part of the Black Label Series II line of phones. The phone is marketed as a fashion phone, and newly contains a music player, a Micro SD memory card slot, as well as an FM radio.

The phone comes in two versions:

  • Platinum: the bar under the screen is silver
  • Gold: the bar under the screen is gold.

There is also a Limited Edition version which features a gold bar made of 14k gold.

Updates and changes

The phone has been updated in features from the original LG Chocolate to include a 2.0 MP camera with auto-focus, a 320×240 pixel screen, memory card support of up to 2 GB, and an FM radio. The GUI has also been redesigned and features a new menu style (known as Arc) which is a modification of the "list view". The phone's controls remain heat-sensitive and light up red. The phone adds a dedicated loudspeaker that can now be used for calls.

Design

The phone is a glossy black color, constructed of plastic; when slid up, the phone reveals a keypad alternating from black to gray, in a checkered pattern. The phone retains the same red heat-sensitive controls as the original LG Chocolate. There is a small metallic bar underneath the screen and above the directional controls that reads "Chocolate", "Black Label", or "Limited Edition". The rear of the phone has a loudspeaker and the battery and battery cover. Under the slide there is a camera with flash and a self-portrait mirror.

The retail box shares the same color scheme as the phone inside – yellow-gold and black (Gold Edition) or grey-silver and black (Platinum Edition). It is similar to the box of the other Black Label series handsets.

  • LG Chocolate KE800
