LG Chocolate 3 is a clamshell. Although it has the same model name, it is not slider as the first two generations (VX8500 and 8550). It is still a music-centric device with large control keys on the front, when closed. It also features a 2-megapixel camera and two color displays, as well as microSD slot for memory.
