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.
