    Sure, it’s not the most unique looking handset ever (most passersby would probably just assume its an LG Chocolate), but for $119.99, the new LG Rhythm for Alltel packs a bit of punch on the music phone front. In addition to the always-welcome 3.5mm headset jack, they’ve packed an FM transmitter into the handset for pushin’ your tunes to your car radio without a mess of adapters.

    To make your jams sound their best, they’ve set up with music player with Digital Signal Processing and a graphic equalizer polished and prepped by audio idol Mark Levinson. Beyond the music feature set, it’s got a 2-inch LCD display, a 1.3 megapixel camera (takes stills and videos), Bluetooth 2.0, and supports for microSD cards up to 16GB.
