The next Black Label -- and we're not talking whiskey here -- front and back

LG looks set to return to the sexy slider set with the imminent announcement of its third Black Label handset.

After the success of the first Black Label phones, the Chocolate and the Shine, it's no surprise LG intends to expand this series of handsets with an as-yet unnamed device. The phone (pictured) has been making the rounds at recent trade shows and, according to AVING, LG are gearing up for an official announcement for European markets on the 24th of April.

This latest Black Label looks to be very similar to the Shine in its form factor, and will apparently include carbon fibre elements in the back plate. LG are also touting this handset as the slimmest 5-megapixel phone on the market, which is no mean feat considering the slimline Samsung G600.

When contacted, LG had no information regarding a release date or pricing for this handset in Australia.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

      BlueAnt M1 Stereo Bluetooth Speaker

      The BlueAnt M1 is a fantastic stereo-Bluetooth speaker that's portable, easy to use, and has great audio quality, to boot.

      HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.
