GSMArena have information on the new Black Label series LG Chocolate handset. The official announcement won't be until next month, however, rumours on one of the reported features sounds quite interesting.

Now, for a quick game of "strange rumors". The model number will be BL40 (though that may change) and will probably support HSDPA (not surprising). The screen is said to have an extremely peculiar aspect ratio of 21:9 and a resolution of 800x345 pixels. That is quite wide, much wider than your typical HDTV. How this ties with "maximizing usability" (if that's even true) we don't know , but it's sure to come with its own set of advantages and burdens. Another rumored spec, one that's less iffy is a 5-megapixel camera.

Mobile Review have reviewed a prototype of the BL40. It definitely looks slick, but whether or not it delivers when released is another matter.
