LG is determined to repeat the success of Motorola’s RAZR with wildly popular LG KG800 Chocolate hit phone. Korean vendor even knows how to do it:

When you suddenly got a hit phone on your hands, keep it fresh and keep it cool. This is what Motorola has done when itâ€™s RAZR sales exploded, churning new RAZR variation every few months. This is what LG is now trying to do.

Even as the old LG KG800 chocolates are hitting western markets, Korean cellphone vendor has announced next generation LG Chocolate II Black Label phone for Asia.

LG Chocolate II (LG-SV600 and LG-KV6000) will go on sale through SK Telecom and KTF networks today. It is loaded with all cool features necessary for todayâ€™s cellphone – built-in camera with flash, Real MP3 player, 512 MB of built-in memory, special music access keys, equilizer, QVGA LCD screen, multitasking capabilities and other. But that’s not important. The most important thing for 16.5mm LG Chocolate II slider- it has to look better then it’s predecessor. And with Black Label Gold and Platinum editions LG got that one right:

Although LG rank’s as a No.4 cell phone maker worldwide, itâ€™s success comes mainly from CDMA phones. In GSM markets itâ€™s only half the size of Worlds No. 5 Sony Ericsson.

In Europe, which is the biggest GSM market in the world, LG trails behind Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Siemens (now BenQ), Samsung and Motorola. This year LG wants to change that.

LG kick-started it’s European assault with a giant cellphone shaped balloon tour last week by inviting major European business partners from Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland for a ride.

Then, following in Nokia’s and Motorola’s footsteps LG is going to introduce a new ‘fashion’ phone in May. This will be done by porting it’s Korean hit Chocolate LG KG800 cellphone for European tastes. Since it’s introduction last November LG already sold more then 300 000 units of this slider phone in Korea and expects to repeat the success in Europe.

LG expects to increase its shipments of all kinds of handsets in Europe by 30 percent this year. The main focus is on UMTS market, which is expected to double. In 2006 LG will launch 16 high-speed UMTS handsets in Europe and according to LG Europe CEO James Kim:

‘If we do the right thing, our market share will go up.’
