LG BL40, Ultra-Wide Touchscreen Phone, Launching In Europe Soon
Since seeing the promo videos for the LG BL40 candybar, I’ve had a hankering to play around with it. The software is impressive, the 21:9 touchscreen display lickable, and it’ll be out over the next few months.
According to an LG press release, the lucky folks in Europe will see the BL40 mid-September while other markets will be covered in the month after.
This means that I’ll definitely be looking forward to October for reasons other than Halloween this year, but until then I’ll be content drooling over the BL40’s tasty official shots. [LGE via Boy Genius Report]

@snoop_dizzle: I prefer them thick helps me know that they are there and I havn't lost it! (not dirty at all)

@jamesnaj1023: Verizon doesn't have enough worthwhile "apps" to fill the screen. *Looks down at Verizon phone and Weeps softly*
@switchblade saints: I never thought of that. Good point, but I was thinking it would just be kinda annoying to handle if it were so long and thin (that sounds kinda dirty too).
@seamonkey420: toblerone darks kicks the ass out of any snickers.

Any word what companies will be supporting this thing? T-Mobile, Verizon, whatnot? Since this is one of the sorta-iPhone-killers, will AT&T skip it?

A comment to the editor: Why aren't you on Gizmodo's list of editors to the left? Chauvenistic pigs!
@John_001: I don't really exist. I'm just a very pleasant figment of your imagination.
@Rosa Golijan: using the term pleasant pretty loose I see
JOKES!!!!!!!!!

@Rosa Golijan: touche!
i was kidding!!. how you been? and yes, why are you not over on the wall of fame to the left yet?
@switchblade saints: Such a nice remark from a starred commenter.
Will it turn out that I'm using the term "starred" pretty loosely too?
@John_001:
You must be one hell of a nerd if you noticed that. Seriously.

@Rosa Golijan: DO IT DO IT! haha jk
@switchblade saints: As long as you don't wear skinny jeans you should be OK, but if you are, I'm not sure what would fit in your pockets anyway. I've seen people with those huge side kicks sticking out of their pockets ready to drop or stolen. Anyways, I have Samsung's K3 mp3 player which is an inch shorter, and half as thick and it fits in my pockets very comfortably. I really wouldn't worry.

@Rosa Golijan: Very pleasant indeed.
