Typical price: £100
What is it: A superb-looking slider phone that is seamlessly designed and features a heat-sensitive glowing red touchpad
What we think: We're in love with the look of it, but the touchpad can be awkward to use and it's a shame about the lack of expandable memory

We like:
Seamless design; glossy feel; red backlight on the touchpad; chequered keypad; 128MB internal memory; headset
We don't like:
Casing attracts fingerprints and is easy to scratch; no memory card slot; occasionally unresponsive touchpad
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The LG Chocolate phone is the best-looking phone we have seen this year. With a seamless casing and glowing red touchpad, this phone took everyone by surprise. It definitely has that wow factor at first, but after using it for a couple of weeks you may realise that not everything is perfect. The touchpad looks great but doesn't always respond and the lack of external memory means this won't replace your iPod nano

The LG Chocolate phone is loved by many for its small frame and stunning looks, but it's not the sharpest knife in the box. Should it be stroked to sleep every night or is it just too dumb to love?
