I agree. Looks great but those two features really reduce the 'gotta have it' factor. Especially the lack of stereo speakers. My 8300 sounds AWESOME.

not to be an ass, but who listens to music that way. i'll admit its a nice feature to have but i listen to my music through headphones. other people get annoyed if your phone is making noise while theyre doing ****. i don't care if i piss people off, but most others do.

The reason I believe it has neither of these features is because it is made to be more iPod like and with an iPod you listen to the music with earphones, which is why they also introduced the BT stereo earphones, so you can listen to your music and also take calls.

The sound on the chocolate doesn't sound all that different from my 8100 or the 8300. I notice a slight difference but it isn't that bad.

I just wanted to say something about the stereo speaker everyone is harping about.

The speaker that is build on the back is a high-mid range speaker.

- Stereo sound distinguishes between left and right sound( ex:Vocals left speaker, Music right speaker)

Traditionally you would not want mono because when you play stereo mp3 songs on a mono speaker it will only play one side and not the other.
The speaker on the LG will play stereo mp3 with no loss in audio.

They sound just the same even louder than the 8300, IMO.
