The LG WatchPhone managed to attract nearly all the attention. In addition to a smooth touchscreen, this watch also features call functionalities. And as if that alone is not enough, the LG WatchPhone also features a camera on the front enabling video-calls. The weight of the WatchPhone is certainly not bad, nor is its size. This makes it an easy-to-use gadget. Besides calling, you can use the touchscreen to send a text message.

We had the chance to briefly play with the device at the dealer show and, partly thanks to the touchscreen, it all proved to work fine. The screen is a tad too small for sending text messages although it can still be done. The call works through the speakerphone or through Bluetooth, so if you do not want everyone to enjoy what's being said on the other side, you should use a headset. For true gadget fans, it is a nice device, however, the price will be somewhere between 800 and 1,000 Euros, and due to selective distribution, the availability of the LG Watch Phone will be limited.

In addition to the LG WatchPhone, the LG BL40, also known as the new LG Chocolate, could also be admired. The most remarkable feature on this smartphone is its ultra-bright 4-inch monitor with a resolution of 800x345. This 21:9 widescreen format makes it a unique phone to enjoy movies on. In addition to watching films, you can also use the wide screen to display two different types of content, thanks to the Dual Screen user interface.

The design of the new LG Chocolate BL40 is remarkably neat. The mobile phone is very thin, although its size is quite bulky because of the large screen. Its shape is just a tad different than what we usually come across and are used to. Furthermore, the LG Chocolate BL40 features HSDPA, WiFi, 5.0 megapixel digital camera including autofocus, FM radio and 1GB internal memory with the option for expansion via a microSD/SDHC memory card to a maximum of 32GB.
