Reevoo's summary of reviews:

As with others in LG's Black Label series, the Secret's style is top drawer but the screen can be troublesome! It scratches easily, is very sensitive and is difficult to see in day-light. Also loses points for battery-life.

Mike, St-Osyth

Score 9.0/10

+ I have found this phone very techno-phobe friendly to use . It has excellant features that are fairly simple to set up and use . Also i live in a fairly poor reception area but since i have had the LG Secret i have not had any real problems . In short my best phone to date .

- The only minor issue with the phone is that the touch screen surrounds the "enter" key so if you're not careful you can navigate in error , but paying attention to what you're doing negates this minor annoyance.

Robert, Southport , “LG Secret Fan”

Score 9.0/10

+ The phone is very sleek and stylish. The touch screen and navigation pads are very responsive although can be slow a times i.e. when phone has just been turned on or unlocked.

- Handset memory is very poor as much is reserved space for messages, contacts and other applications. The battery life also drains very quickly. Most people who write reviews and complain about the battery make a high volume of calls each day however, being a light user this is still the case.

Robert, Cambridge , “Software Engineer”

Score 3.0/10

+ Nice look, feels reassuringly solid and sturdy.
Fun little bell sounds on each key press when typing SMS, sounds a bit like bird song when at speed.
Video playback high quality.

- Executive summary: Phone appears designed to tick boxes w.r.t features (like "Touch Screen"), but no-one took the time to integrate them properly. Main gripes:
* No at-a-glance view of calendar / todo.
* Calendar far too limited (max 100 items and no ability to use microSD expansion memory).
* Loses reception when in pocket (and displayed "Emergency Calls Only"), unlike previous phones that have lived in the same pocket.
* Doesn't always connect calls with sound.
* Low battery warning only appears minutes before the phone dies on you.
* Touch screen not used by web-browser - only only used by _very_ basic photo viewer / games / radio features.
* PC Suite of software very basic - the phone is better at managing your contacts.

Stuart, Leeds

Score 3.0/10

+ A very nice and stylish phone

- The worst thing about this phone is it's reception, not being able to make phone calls on it due to poor reception is a bit of a downer. Also the battery life is not good, Mine was fully charged in the morning, I then took 4 photos, sent a couple of texts and browsed the net for 5 minutes before the battery died, took about 5 hours in total.

Yvonne, leeds , “mum, student and forty!”

Score 9.0/10

+ Stylish phone and very good camera. Lots of ringtones and message tones to choose from and easy to 'find your way around' the menu. Loving the 'I toy' games which can also be used as screensavers. Overall a good phone and one that I would recommend.

- Very sensitive magic touch keypad. Keep 'losing' where I am and accidentally connecting to the internet. Difficult to get to grips with at first but getting easier as I get used to the phones sensitivity.

ANDY, CATERHAM

Score 8.0/10

+ I find the phone easy to use, although the touch keys can appear to be slow at times. Its light weight and has all the functions I require and a few extras that I dably with now and again.

- The only real bad thing about the phone is the battery - does not last as long as you would like. It also has a battery bar that In all honesty lies. It will be showing 2 of the 3 bars one minute and then its dead.

Expert reviews for LG KF750 Secret

TechRadar expert review

The LG Secret is the third model in LG's premium Black Label Series, following on from its previous style-conscious eye-poppers, the Chocolate and Shine. It's not just a pretty face though. Slim, sleek and elegant, the LG Secret is laced with higher end features including a 5-megapixel camera, touch sensitive controls and a smattering of touchscreen operation, high-speed HSDPA 3G multimedia functionality, plus motion controlled gaming. But LG has crafted this stylish phone to be a tough cookie too ‚Äì using carbon fibre and tempered glass to add durability and strength to the bodywork …

LG's latest handset in the Black Label series is the LG Secret, but should you leave it at that, or tell everyone?
