The LG Chocolate BL20 brings back all the famous features of the classical Chocolate line with its new Black Label series slider, touch sensitive buttons and striking red numeric keypad. But it’s much different than LG Chocolate BL40. The BL20 is missing some features of the BL40, such as the accelerometer and a full touch screen. We believe the BL20 serves as a cheaper and smaller alternative to the BL40. On the other hand, the BL40 has an impressive software and interface, 21:9 touch screen, 5 MP camera, high-definition “Real VGA” 4 inch LCD that supports a 800×345 pixel resolution, 5 hrs of talk time with a 3G network or 6hrs with a 2G network, video recording and fast email. The BL40 comes with 1.1GB of memory and supports up to 32GB of add on memory with the aid of SDHC cards. According to an LG press release, people in Europe will see the BL40 mid-September while other markets will be covered in the following month.
The LG Chocolate BL20 continues the legacy of Chocolate series. Its release date and price are not yet clear. The BL20′s specifications are listed below.

I’m not sure I’d buy this phone, but I do love sliders and the color black.
