LG officially unveils its new Chocolate, the BL40
LG officially unveiled the latest addition to its Black Label series, the BL40 Chocolate. A bit of deja vu as this handset has already starred in its own photo shoot and made its unofficial YouTube debut. The red-trimmed handset has a 4-inch wide screen 800×345 pixel display with a unique 21:9 aspect ratio, 5 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, 7.2Mbps UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, and aGPS. As far as release details, unfortunately all we know about this sleek and sexy handset is that it will debut in Q3 2009 in 54 countries worldwide. All else aside, we can’t wait to see how typing on this bad boy works out considering how long and thin it is. Hit the jump for a few more press photos.

Samsung Jet announcement!
Video: Samsung Jet announcement makes me want one of these!
Don’t know how we missed this video from Samsung’s Jet announcement, but it’s cool and we’re going with it, even if we’re late. The clip is Minority Report-like and apparently Samsung used technology from Korean firm D’strict. It combines infrared motion sensing and 3D imagery a la Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Natal… Enough said, push the play button above, if you still haven’t!

Smartest Cover for the BlackBerry Storm
Clear Shots: Smartest Cover for the BlackBerry Storm
After I mentioned the ‘Smartest Cover’ for the BlackBerry Storm yesterday, I wasn’t too surprised to wake up and notice an email from the team over at Smartest Cover. I had raised concerns directly to them about the lack of quality images of the product… and sure enough, they came through for me. Hopefully these images give a clear picture of how the ‘cover’ works. You can see the raised bumps, much like the ‘F’ and ‘J’ keys carry on most keyboards.
I can’t say for certain that the covers will work, but having used a Storm for some time now, I can’t see it hurting at all. If anything, I’d guess moderate to large gains in typing speed and accuracy would be realized (just a hunch).
Again, if you’d like to learn more or pick up a package of 3 for $13.99, head on over to smartestcover.com. Landscape and SureType versions are available.

Poll: Which Currently Available or Announced BlackBerry Smartphone do you Own or Plan to Buy?
Poll: Which Currently Available or Announced BlackBerry Smartphone do you Own or Plan to Buy?
How is it that we've never run a poll here on the blogs?
That just seems soooo wrong. It's time to change that! I think we can have a lot of fun here by running both standalone polls and by tieing polls in at the end of blog posts.
So get your polling thumbs ready....
It only makes sense for our first poll that we start with the basics... which BlackBerry do you currently own or plan to buy. Now..I know a lot of you either own multiple BlackBerry smartphones or are using an upcoming device that you shouldn't really be using. So if you own multiple devices or are about to upgrade, pick the one you're using/plan to be using the most. And if you're lucky enough to be rocking a model that err.. doesn't exist yet (onyx anyone??) then just pick the Older or Other BlackBerry option...

Every so often here, we go over BlackBerry quick tips, little tidbits that can make your BlackBerry life easier. Some of these are more advanced, but we also like to go over the basics. Today is one of those instances. In searching through the site yesterday, I realized we didn’t have a bit on how to delete applications from your BlackBerry. So after the jump we’ll go through the basic process.
First, go to Options.
Then, go to Advanced Options.
Finally, click on Applications.
You’ll see a notice that your BlackBerry is building an applications list. On the other end you’ll see a big huge list, containing core applications and some things you might not recognize. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: if you do not know what it is, do not delete it.
Scroll down to find the application you’d like to delete. Once it’s highlighted, hit the Menu key. You’ll see a number of options, but all we’re interested in now is the obvious one: Delete. Click it, and you’ll get confirmation. Click Yes, and it will delete the application.
Afterward you’ll be prompted to reset your BlackBerry. If you plan to delete multiple applications, say no. Say yes after the last application you’re going to delete. A reset clears the application out of device memory.
