The LG Rhythm (see CNET Review) should have you excited if you're a music lover. The sheek looking mobile phone is a handset slider with a sense of style and a somewhat unique touch screen and mechanical scroll wheel (the latter might take a while to get used to, but it's a cool way to zip through the menus on your phone to get where you want.)

There's a small touch screen built into the middle of the scroll wheel. So, depending on what you're doing with the phone, there will be a different image that, when clicked, will do something different. It's a good way to save space and make a button multipurpose. I'm betting that you're going to see more and more phones with a feature like this - touch screens away from the main screen.

The keypad is also touch screen, but it does give a vibrating tactile sensation when pressed. Not as good as the real thing - tactile click of a key on a keypad - but it's not too bad. With no QWERTY, it's not really a phone for people who text a lot anyway.

If you like music, though, you're gonna like this phone with it's full set of music listening goodness, including a great sound. It's almost as if an MP3 player and a mobile phone hooked up and this phone is their offspring. The music features on this phone are that cool.
