Holy Schmokers, looks like LG really wants to get their hands on a few of their old Chocolate phones… Why? Well, I’m not sure, but the devices in question must have some components that they want… real bad. They’re on the hunt for 5 devices in particular, and the company has placed newspaper ads in 12 countries around the world. The ads feature the serial numbers for the devices in question. If you’re lucky enough to have one of the specified phones, LG will pay you a cool $10,000. Strange? Yep!

At any rate, the contest, er, search ends tomorrow… So you may want to give your Chocolate a look-see, just to be sure :)

Any ideas on what LG is after here? If nothing else, they sure are creating a lot of internet ‘buzz’ today!
