From the Korean cellphone maker comes a new phone, the LG Chocolate Touch. It’s an update to the their popular Chocolate phones, with the addition of a touch interface. The particular version I’m talking about is the one released for Verizon Wireless, which is a bit handicapped as far as features goes to the counterpart LG Chocolate Touch launched in the UK market.

The interface of the phone looks a tad cartoonish. On the bright side, the funky back-plate and three physical buttons (send, end, clear) add a dash of style to the phone. There’s a 3.2 MP camera with a bundled image editor that can help you touch up photos to remove blemishes. There’s a virtual QWERTY keyboard that orients itself into landscape/portrait depending on how you hold the phone. A dedicated social media touch button allows you to quickly dispatch status updates to Facebook, Twitter, et al. Also according to reports, it has a fairly competent web browser. On Verizon’s EVDO network, streaming videos can be viewed smoothly on the phone too.

The killer feature of the phone though is Dolby Mobile – that gives you surround sound when listening to headphones. Check out this demo on the LG Chocolate Touch site, which shows you how much of a different Dolby Mobile surround can make to the quality of the listening experience. The Dolby Mobile system processes the songs even when played through normal speakers to make the audio sound better. In case you want to get your hands dirty, it even has manual visual equalizers for you to tamper around with. A gimmicky addition is that of a ‘virtual band’ that allows you to drum/keyboard along to your favourite songs; bit like visual karaoke except a lot more unique.

LG Chocolate Touch seems to be a fairly good buy in case you use your cellphone as your music player. Its 1500 mAh battery ensures that your phone doesn’t run out of juice quickly, and Dolby Mobile gives you an enhanced listening experience.
