Well perhaps not so extreme, more like revamped.

Taken from gsmarena:

31 October 2006
LG announced a major update to their famous Chocolate phone lineup featuring a serious face-lift and a heavy improvement of the available equipment. The new LG KE800 basically takes care of all the drawbacks the original LG Chocolate has in terms of functionality. This new baby comes armed with a spanking new 2 megapixel camera complete with auto focus and a macro shooting mode. But no, it doesn't nearly end here.

LG KE800 Chocolate Platinum

The new LG Chocolate Platinum, produced under the designation KE800, features EDGE and tri-band GSM support, stereo Bluetooth support, FM radio and a microSD card slot. Moreover, it has 256MB of memory instead of 128MB, updated music player functionalities and a dedicated Flight mode.

It lacks 3G of course, but if you are into 3G, you may as well pick up LG KU800, which is the 3G version of the original Chocolate phone.

The Platinum version boasts not only updated equipment but also a total body change. It measures 95mm x 52mm x 9.9 mm and weighs 73g which is a bit wider, but a lot thinner and lighter than the original Chocolate phone. Further on, the LG Chocolate Platinum has a boosted battery life of up to 270 hours stand by time, although it features a smaller capacity battery than the original one.

The LG Chocolate Platinum is expected to follow up the success of its predecessor, which has almost 3 millions sold worldwide.

In Europe LG would offer KE800 Platinum only in black and silver color combination, while in Korea the CDMA version of the KE800 would be offered in black with gold trimming.
