Just when you thought the Corby’s title was secure, along comes Samsung’s archrival LG with the KM555e Clubby — a phone whose meaningless, perfectly trademarkable name knows no limits of awesomeness. Apart from built-in support for LG’s Music Club track download service, we’re not sure what makes this thing so “clubby” — it’s just a midrange full-touch dumbphone with a WQVGA display, 3 megapixel cam, and Dolby Mobile tech on board — but seriously, with a name like that, does it matter? We submit that it does not. If you happen to be in Russia, it’s available at this time for 9,990 rubles (about $329) in your choice of black, purple, or silver.

We’ve suspected it for a while, and at this time it’s 100 percent confirmed: Verizon’s latest Chocolate device, the Chocolate Touch, takes absolutely zero influence from the lovely BL40 with which it shares a name. That said, it definitely seems to continue the Chocolate line’s music-oriented tradition with an integrated FM radio, dedicated music key, stereo Bluetooth, equalization tech from Dolby Mobile, and a curious “Join the Band” function that lets you add in your own beats to the music with a full on-screen drum kit. It’s got a 3.2 megapixel cam, full touch display, and for the impatient among us, the best news might be that it’s available today — yes, today — for $79.99 on contract after rebate.

We might have to wait until next year to score the HTC HD2 Stateside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all enjoy this jazzy little promo video showing off the highlights of Sense. But is the music more reminiscent of Donkey Kong Country or Iko Iko by the Belle Stars? We ask the hard-hitting questions in this place at Engadget. Video after the break, website at the read link.
