Just after claiming it had sold 15 million KG800 (Chocolate) handsets around the world, LG has unveiled two new colours of the massive-selling handset as xmas gifts – in lilac and silver.
LG claimed last week that the Chocolate had sold 15 million units since it was launched way back in November 2005 in Korea, then in May 2006 in 100 countries around the World. It reckons five million were sold since April alone.
This isn’t bad for a handset that features a 1.3MP camera, a 176×220 pixel screen, and a mere 128MB of storage (and no memory card slot!).
Obviously the Chocolate’s appeal is in the stylish casing and glowing front buttons. Oh, and the range of colours it’s available in, definitely not targeted in a cynical way at getting people to buy different colours to suit their outfits?
If you want one of the new Chocolates, the silver one’s available on prepay from Phones 4u (£49.95), while Carphone’s selling the lilac one on both contract and prepay (£39.95), alongside pink, black and white versions.
