    LG BL40, Ultra-Wide Touchscreen Phone, Launching Ultra-Soon in Europe and a Month Later in States

    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. More »

    The LG BL40 "Long Chocolate" Looks Kind Of Ridiculous In Real Life

    All I can think about when watching this hands-on video with LG's super-long BL40 Chocolate touchscreen phone is that we've been using the phrase "candybar phone" way too loosely for the last few years. More »

    Motorola Debuts the W161 and W181, a Pair of Dull-Ass Candy Bar Cells

    Well, it's Monday morning at WMC 2008 in Barcelona and Motorola has come out of the gate with a... saunter. The W161 and W181, which should be available sometime in the next month or so, look like they are aimed at the cellphone markets in Africa and India. I mean, 465 hours' standby? Full specs for both are below the gallery. More »

    Mustek DV300T Video Camera Tastes Like Candybars

    It may not be the best compact digital video camera out there, but if looking like a cellphone were a category that anyone cared about, the DV300T would be on top of the market. The 2-inch LCD screen, the 3.1 megapixel resolution, and the lack of an optical zoom are certainly drawbacks—but you do get 64MB of memory (with SD card expansion), voice recording, MP3 and eBook functionality. Hmmm, wait. That is still pretty lame. However, when a price is released, it should be fairly cheap. That is a plus! [Mustek via OhGizmo]

    AT&T Gets the Pantech C150 Low-End Cameraphone

    If you thought that AT&T was becoming a high-end boutique cellphone shop with handsets like the iPhone and the HTC 8925, Pantech's latest addition to their roster will straighten you out. The C150 is a pretty nice looking low-end cameraphone with a VGA camera, Bluetooth, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Windows Live Mail support, MP3 ringtones, picture and ringtone caller ID and not a whole lot else. It's a candybar phone that measures 4.1 x 1.7 x .49 inches with a 128x160 pixel screen. So don't worry that you won't be able to pick up a possibly free-after-rebate phone from AT&T that doesn't look halfway bad. [Pantech] More »

    LG Shine Goes Candybar, Probably Still Meh

    If our hands-on with the LG Shine slider was any indication, this Shine Bar may be a phone only fashionistas will pine for. The KE770 is only 9.9mm thick (compared with the 14mm of the regular shine) and has a 320x240 display, a 2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, Bluetooth, 50MB internal storage, microSD slot, and pretty much the same styling we've come to expect from the Shine label.

    Sony Ericsson Goes Low-End With K310, K510

    As part of Sony Ericsson's low-end initiative, three of the cellphones in the group are the K310 (left) and K510 (middle) candybars and the Z530 clamshell. All three are tri-band phones but don't have EDGE support. The K310 has a sub-megapixel camera, 15MB of memory without a flash card slot and a 128x160 65,536 color display straight out of yesterday.
