Boasting a ‘hidden’ LCD screen and touch-keypad controls that glow red when in use, the feature-rich, slim LG Chocolate phone is designed with minimalism in mind and will become a must-have handset for those that value fashion as well as function. With a look and feel totally dissimilar to any previous handset, the LG Chocolate phone is the first product from LG’s premium series of mobile phones that combine fantastic styling with cutting-edge technology.

I found it odd but not an enormously big deal that the end call key which doubles up as the power key sits on the right edge of the casing instead of in its usual place under the screen. It was fairly easy to get used to the position, and if you do find it annoying you can just end calls by closing the slider. The cocoa that forms from this process is heated to form a liquor and cocoa butter and cocoa solids are separated. The cocoa butter and solids are then re-mixed in specific ratios. The more the cocoa solids in a chocolate composition, the more chocolatey the flavor will be. According to speculations, this isn't how pink chocolate is made.
We can never be sure about the exact recipe of Ruby chocolate unless the manufacturers decide to disclose it. Till then, let's just enjoy the fruitiness of the berry and the luxurious smoothness of the Ruby chocolate! What is the Flavor Like of the Pink Chocolate? Ever since the chocolatier first made their pink chocolate, they spent some time marketing their 'pink sensation' in Asia and Europe and finally introduced it in American and Canadian markets. You'll be surprised to know that the Ruby chocolate is the first-ever new flavor of chocolate introduced in the U.S. since its debut of chocolate in the 1930s. No wonder it was welcomed as a sensation.LG KU800: 3G Chocolate – Mobile Gazette – Mobile Phone News". www.mobilegazette.com . Retrieved 2023-07-17. You can’t answer a call with the slider closed. You have to slide up to take incoming calls, and can end them by sliding down. According to the chocolatier, the chocolate got its pink color from an extract from the pink ruby cocoa , that's a unique and rare type of cocoa bean only found in Brazil, Ecuador, and the Ivory Coast. They say this cocoa bean was left undiscovered and unutilized. The KU800 is a 3G version of the KG800 Chocolate, providing higher speed UMTS connections. It was released in the UK at end 2006 by Vodafone. Its display resolution has also increased to 240x320 but with a drop in colour depth. [20] LG VX8500 (Verizon Wireless, U.S.) [ edit ] LG VX8500 Chocolate In 2009, LG released the New Chocolate (BL40) in Europe, Asia and Canada, alongside a non-touch New Chocolate model BL20.
Numerous other Chocolate-style phones were released by LG, including the LG Chocolate Platinum (KE800/SV600/KV6000), a clamshell model LG Chocolate Folder (KG810), and the LG KG320. [12] In the United States, carrier Verizon Wireless also released several Chocolate updates, including: Chocolate Spin (VX8550), Chocolate 3 (VX8560), and Chocolate Touch (VX8575).Looking stylish, making and receiving calls, sending SMS and MMS messages, shooting photos and video, listening to music The most we can tell about how pink chocolate gets it pink hue is from a patent that the chocolatier filed in 2009. According to the document's details, one can make cocoa-derived materials purple or red by simply minimizing the fermentation (3 or fewer days). The product is then treated with acid, and the fatty acids are removed by petroleum ether. If this process is closely followed, it's possible to create new hues which are otherwise lost in the extensive production process. Many companies file fancy patents, but not all of them are approved, are they? The front part of the phone shell has a mirror-like finish that really makes it look classy. When closed, the slider has a rather monolith construction so there were a few people that tried opening it as a flip phone instead of a slider. That's really something since mobile phones nowadays are invading every part of our lives so to be able to produce something innovative really counts.
All this and Bluetooth connectivity as well. If you're looking for stand-out style without compromising on usability, you'll appreciate the LG Chocolate KG800. It certainly is a tasty little camera phone! LG‘s much talked about Chocolate phone made its UK debut on Wednesday to the popping of champagne corks and a flurry of excited LG execs. Tech Digest was invited along to the launch and what do you know? – we only managed to squirrel away our own handset to play with! You may assume that pink chocolate has been made using artificial colors and flavors, but would you believe if we tell you that pink chocolate gets its color from an extract obtained from ruby cocoa beans? Pink or the Ruby chocolate is a product of extensive research, and it's finally here! A slightly modified version of the KG800, released as the LG TG800, was sold by Rogers Wireless and Fido in Canada, released on the market in November 2006. [21] Additionally, Bell Mobility has a modified version of this phone that works on their CDMA/ 3G EVDO network despite the offering of the LG Chocolate (VX8500) in Canada available there through Telus Mobility. With the slider opened it is two presses (the side key and then number pad key 1 for the music player, 2 for stills camera or 3 for video shooting). With the slider closed you have to precede these presses with two pushes of the volume up key which not only enables the front mounted touch buttons but also the camera/music player button.Time Travel to 2071 with Smithsonian Researchers: How can portraying the future help us prepare for it? As part of the Smithsonian’s upcoming FUTURES exhibition, the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building (AIB) collaborated with Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination to bring together museum experts, cultural and research centers, writers, and artists to help answer that question. They asked eight research teams to imagine potential futures for Smithsonian institutions, their areas of research, and, most importantly, the communities they serve. Might children be able to vote in 2071? What would it take to make human life in space sustainable? Then award-winning artist Brian Miller and acclaimed sci-fi writers Tochi Onyebuchi and Madeline Ashby created exhibition posters and short stories based on those visions. At the Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2006, the Chocolate won the award for Best Fashion Phone, and was runner up in Phone of the Year beaten by Sony Ericsson K800i. [27] However, speculations suggest otherwise. Some insiders from the chocolate industry are set on their belief that Ruby chocolate is a product of regular cocoa, only that it has been left unfermented, which gives it the pink color. The regular brown chocolate is made using bitter cocoa beans from the cocoa tree. These beans are first dried and then fermented till they become edible. Brown chocolate has been made using this technique for as many as 4,000 years. One major failing of this handset is that you have no way of expanding the internal memory. Now, there is 128MB of this designated as multimedia storage. This is fairly generous, but it is nowhere near enough for you to consider using the Chocolate KG800 as a substitute for a dedicated music player. At least copying music across is no problem as the handset functions as a USB Mass Storage device, and you get a cable in the box.
Casing attracts fingerprints and is easy to scratch; no memory card slot; occasionally unresponsive touchpad The LG Chocolate had successor called the VX8550 LG Chocolate "Spin" which featured touch buttons with improved accuracy, a scroll wheel, support for 4GB microSD cards, and tactile send and end keys. The music player supports MP3, AAC and WMA files, and LG has thought about people wanting to use their own headsets. A proprietary connector on the right edge of the casing is shared by mains power, but the cable terminates at a nicely designed remote control with a 3.5mm adaptor on one end. There is no speakerphone. Now, I don’t use a speakerphone very often, but I do regard it as one of the basics for any handset.Join us, AIB, and the Center for Science and the Imagination on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at noon Eastern to discuss the exhibit, the pieces, and the roles museums play in depicting future narratives.
