Chocolate gets affordable

I’ve always thought that the LG Chocolate handset was already pretty affordable, but apparently LG has lowered the bar even more by unveiling the LG KG280. This slider handset was developed specifically for the GSM tri-band network, and comes with basic features such as a 256k color TFT display at 128 x 160 resolution and the same touch sensitive buttons that the Chocolate has. Unfortunately, like the original Chocolate, there is no 3G to be found so you’ll have to make do with GPRS, which in my opinion might as well not be there at all unless you’re big on MMS. Pricing details are unknown, but as I mentioned, it shouldn’t be too pricey.
