LG Chocolate BL40 has the largest mobile phone touch screen to date / 02.08.2009 04:50

Our memory tells us that LG was the first company that introduced a mobile phone with touch sensitive display. Its introduction was so close to the first Apple iPhone, which made history and the world tends to remember the iPhone alone. Nonetheless, LG has continued to design stylish mobile phones with and without touch screen technology. This time, LG is likely to be the first company to market a mobile phone with 4.0-inch display.

The LG Chocolate BL40 is a black, stylish mobile phone with huge touch screen. The display is 4 inches in 800x345 pixels resolution. This means that it is possible to browse almost entire web pages. Some horizontal scrolling is still required because the most common web page design is 1024 horizontal pixels. In any case, the wide format display has allowed LG to design applications, like email, that can split the screen in two side-by-side panes. It is possible to attach frequently used menu items to custom icons on the home screen. The LG BL40 comes with 5 megapixel camera.

Other LG mobile phones with touch screen are, for instance, the LG Viewty, LG GD900, and the LG Cookie.
