Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-Up Comments 2

LG offers up its third version of the Chocolate phone for Verizon Wireless, this time bringing a touch user interface to the mix. It lives up to the Chocolate's music-rich heritage, but leaves a bitter aftertaste.

If you're looking for a fancy touch phone that puts the music experience first, then perhaps the new LG Chocolate Touch is for you. I doesn't quite have the heavy app-lifting power of a smartphone, but it offers a decent touch-based user experience, a shiny design, and solid music features.
