LG New Chocolate Mini BL20 ReviewRed starRed starRed star White star White star

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

As slick as the LG New Chocolate, the Mini BL20 doesn't have a touch-screen, but its tactile number pad is far better for texting

 

Ease of use

LG's standard user interface is a breeze to navigate and extra features like widgets, browser and camera are easily launched

Features

The Chocolate Mini is a pretty basic phone, with no Wi-Fi, no GPS, and a standard QVGA screen. The five megapixel camera is a nice extra though.

 

Performance

While the user interface was generally fast and smooth, there were substantial freezes in the browser, and many picture-heavy sites couldn't load at all.

 

Battery life

Above average, though you'd expect so without Wi-Fi or GPS.

LG New Chocolate Mini BL20

Pros: Tactile keyboard better for texting, slick design, good camera for this price
Cons: Patchy web experience, no Wi-Fi, no GPS or maps software
