LG Secret KF750

The LG Black Label Secret is my first phone in years not to be a Nokia. I got it as part of a free upgrade - I could've had the iPhone but opted for this as I've never got on well with iTunes and so on and liked the idea of having a phone which didn't demand that I converted everything I owned into its own format. I've had the phone for around three weeks, so obviously this review won't give the greatest indication of longevity, but should help with ...

It's a slide-opening phone which doesn't give you the ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

I got the LG Secret 8 days ago ( 18th birthday present!) and so far I'm pretty happy with it! It's part of the black label series, and has a very sleek design. The backcover is made up of a 'carbon fibre' material, which not noly looks good but 'apparently' is pretty durable to, although I'll have to wait a little longer to see how well it lasts. The front of the phone also looks pretty amazing too, the screen is nice and big and the touchpad ( ...

My fingers are tiny and I've had no problem whatsoever with the touchpad but my boyfriend ( who has v. large hands) finds it pretty annoying to use! The navigation around the menu is staightfoward, use the left / right parts of the touchpad to navigate and the silver button to select where you want to go! ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

Overall, I have personally found this phone to be a reliable all rounder. I think it is elegant and on the whole easy to use. It is essentially a phone first and has items of convenience built it in - email, web, camera, music. I would not personally say that it excels in any one area but performs comfortably well in all. # One. Let's start with the camera as that seems to be of interest to so many. The movie camera is great and has enabled me to ...
...able to use the preloaded editing software to create a music video which is saying something given my lack of technical ability. During the day and in good light the still camera offers exellent high resolution shots (for a phone) but in my opinion is let down by an inadequate flash which makes night time shots unpredictable, although some come out surprisingly well. # Two. I have got little use out of the mp3 player as I found the software to be ...

...I guess that was what LG had in mind, but it needs a little refining. ==Basically== if you want any of the following features on your phone: * camera (and you use anywhere not perfectly lit) * the touch screen * easy to use you should test one out before you buy it. the camera is poor at night, it's fiddly and the touch screen is limited. i dont think the battery will last too well either... I'm hoping that a software update from LG will fix ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

The touch screen is ridiculously slow. You can wait for up to 3 seconds just to scroll down to the next tab of a menu. The more stuff you have stored in it seems to make it even slower. The middle real button is too small and quite difficult to press without accidentally pressing one of the surrounding touchscreen buttons. The labelling of the soft keys are misleading as the label in the bottom middle part of the screen makes you want to press ...
...to press the real button in the centre. There are also a few buttons which just seem to be there for the sake of overcomplicating things, and there are a few menu steps where you are asked the same thing twice just to make sure you REALLY want to do the thing you want to do (eg make a call, answer a call). It's also inexplicably turned itself off a couple of times (I've only had it for 3 weeks so far) but in it's defence I have dropped it a couple ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

This is by far the best phone I have ever had. First of all its made with quality materials such as tempered glass which has withstood any possible scratches from coins, keys etc stuffed into my bag along with the phone and a carbon fibre battery cover which doesnt fling off into a million pieces when you drop the handset - something I've done rather too often. The touchpad is very senstive and once you get use to it it's very easy to use and the ...
...screen is a nice size and its has a light adjustment feature which makes the screen brightness react to your surroundings. e.g your phone will be brighter in the club and darker in your well lit office to save battery. The battery isnt bad - mine lasts a few days but I send almost 1000 texts a month so obviously it begins to wear down quckly. Texting is easy and calling is crystal clear as the phone isolates the call sounds so its easier to hear ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

The Lg secret offers you the comfort of a keypad and the novelty of a touch screen face. I chose the phone becasue of it's sleek design and after a year of using the phone I still like the way it looks. I think it is actually my favourite phone so far. The phone is light and thin so is easy to keep in pockets unnoticed. As a girl when I don't want to take a handbag with me, I need a phone that my husband is not going to mind holding. The phone is ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

Although the phone looks very stylish, it seriously disappointed me, as after my first three months with the phone, i realized that the battery doesn't last long if you use any of the touch features. My touch keys didn't work and although the back is strong and never broke for me, the screen is easily scratched and damaged. Also, the plastic surrounding the screen cracked quickly. I had to charge the phone twice everyday as the battery would only ...
...i made no phone calls, or sent and received messages, i was unable to use the features of the phone, because they drained the battery. I think that the features of the phone, where minimal and although there was touch games they were not very good, they were very basic. I thought the text services were satisfactory... As well, the settings limited what i could do on the phone. In my opinion, the keys are too small for anybody to use with ease. I ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

...the touch screen is bad, LG just could have thought up some more things to do with it. I mean lets face it this is nothing compared to the Iphone. And if you want a touch screen you'd surely go for that one! The camera is 5.0 mega pixels. Pfft as if. The camera has a very poor qulity, it ALWAYS has the flash on (which even in the dark makes everything BRIGHT WHITE) you can obviously change the flash settings manually, but even then the quality is ...
...The LG Secret can also withstand alot of damage. I managed to fling mine half way across bristol and it still survied. All in all the phone is sexy, but thats about it! It'll do me for now, but i'll be chuffed when I'm due my next upgrade :-) ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

I used to own an LG chocolate before getting the Secret, and it did take a while for me to get used to the touch screen, but once I did all was good, and it only felt natural to go then with the secret, , the design is stylish, although I do think the chocolate looked better because there was no fuss. There are many things I like about the Secret in that I love the Touch media games, its like having a mini Wii in your pocket, plus I love the fact ...
...I'd rather listen to the radio so this phone is perfect. From what I've used of the camera, the pictures have come out quite good, I mean it will take a long time for camera phones to take over from real cameras, if it'll ever happen, but for a quick snapshot the camera is fine. Overall a good little phone ...

...the 3G version of the LG Secret, the KF750, It is a user friendly phone with a lot of fun gadgets. One of the first of which you will probably notice is the accelerometer, this is for things like when you are viewing pictures, and you have a landscape photo, you can rotate your phone sideways and then view the photo in landscape, this can also be used in the web browser to view pages portrait and landscape. Another feature of the accelerometer, ...

There is also a 5 mega pixel camera which has stunning colour, and is as good as some modern digital cameras! Another of its unique features is the touch media feature in which you can view your music, photos, documents and more by literally touching the screen, and it is ...

Review of LG Secret KF750

...recently bought one of these, LG Secret also known as KF750, i was happy to see it was sleek and slim as described but when i began using it the problems started. Especially when texting i tended to press the buttons on the side of the phone which was hassle. The camera is okay but not as brilliant as others although its 5MP. The touchscreen is sensitive but can be gotten used to after a while of practice. It does however look very elegant and impressive ...
...like a sturdy phone and isn't light but it doesn't exactly weigh a tonne either. ITs a good size phone and doesn'y feel flimsy. It has some interesting touch media features, such as the games, 8ball, maze or labrynth where you move the phone different angles as you would in the normal game. The phone has blue lights (for buttons etc) which is different from other phones that may have yellow or green lights. There is a good amount of space to save ...

Don't get this phone, it has unbelievably low battery life. When I went to ask to buy an additional power plug, none of the 3 stores I went to stocked them. Must be very hard to find. Overall this phone is not worth considering, it looks nice but that's as far as it goes, may as well use something with more usuable features like a nokia or even a sony erikson, definitely not great for music listening. Major battery drainer. The Pros are: 1 - Looks ...
