I have the not new version of the LG Chocolate, but I do like it quite a bit. It takes a little while to get used to the touch buttons, they are a bit funny at times, but other than that it's a great phone. It works awesomely as an MP3 player, you just have to buy a tranflash / MicroSD card. Seeing as how you can buy 2 GB Micro SD cards now for about 25 bucks or so, this phone can easily double as an iPod of sorts. It comes with a 2.5mm plug in adapter, I just went ahead and bought the 'music kit' that gives you a USB cable and some very nice headphones / handsfree talking device for 30 bucks.
It's more of a phone for style and such, has some great capabilities though such as bluetooth, and I love the noise it makes when it slides open
