David Pogue from the New York Times has enjoyed himself (or so it seems) writing a rather entertaining (if you're not working for LG) review of the LG chocolate.

It’s a bad sign that two pages of the manual are dedicated to listing warnings about these touch buttons. “Remove moisture from the surface of your hands,” goes one. “Don’t use the touch buttons in a humid environment.” (OK, so what are we supposed to do when we’re in Miami? Use a pay phone?)
“If you touch [a button] off-center, it may activate the nearby function instead.”
Listen up, LG dudes: I’m sorry, but if your primary control system requires seven warnings in your manual, maybe you should reconsider your system.

Then again. They're probably crying all the way to the bank at LG, because the chocolate is selling like crazy. Oh, is there no justice in this world?
