LG is preparing a fourth version of its KG800 Chocolate slider phone. Joining the original black handset and the pink and white models the company unveiled last July is a "wine red" varietal. With its burgundy styling, it's undoubtedly aimed at the commmunications connoisseur. It's due to go on sale in South Korea this month, but should be made available globally in due course, LG indicated. ®
