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.

Score 8.0/10+ Very nice to look at, pretty indestructable, i drop phones all the time and this one has done well. Clear display screen makes using phone whilst walking or at night easy and an excellent camera.
- Its a sexy looking phone but navigating with a mixture of touch pad and keys gets a little frustrating, especially as its very easy to knock the touch pad and the fact the back touch button is the same as the internet button.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “University Student”
Score 9.0/10+ Great looking phone, easy to use and straight forward. Tilt and motion sensor is great for the mini games and rotating images, and good size screen too.
- Battery lasts as little as 2 days from full charge if used often, and the touch screen is only activated for the whole screen in 'Touch Media', which is a waste.

Super slim, great design, decent camera.
The supplied headphones are quality and it has even replaced my iPod as my mobile music player.
Again, looks fantastic.
Durable - I've admittedly dropped it a couple of times and it's not even scratched.
Did I mention it looks great?
-
Doesn't utilize the *full* touch-screen nearly enough and when it does it's not the most responsive.
It's not the most customizable of phones in terms of the phone OS (though I've not had it that long).
Music management could be better (editing tack names/artist/album/etc from the phone itself).
Couldn't find the PC-Suite software to download and can't use silly mini-CD in my slot-loading laptop.... sloppy LG.

Score 3.0/10+ The phone looks nice and the games keep you entertained when your bored at work.
- The battery life is rubbish it doesn't last long at all and i'm costantly charging it. It has run out of battery on me on so many occasions when my phone is in desperate need. The touch screen also freezes now and again, you just have to leave it to sort itself out

overall everything is very good and it is quite prompt battery life is excellent and the games are great

however the one thing that spoils it a bit is the touchscreen menus can be a nuisance sometimes.
it can go on to something quite different the the bit you want on the touch screen and it can get frustrating

Anonymous verified purchaser , “full time student”
Score 8.0/10+ Its very stylish and hard waring. I like the weight of it as i don't forget to carry it with me. the ease of use- everything i need seems so simple to locate in the menus. Theres good profile settings which give plenty of control over the volume/ringtone settings and for use in silent mode the vibration is good and can be felt through a bag! I love this phone, its a good phone and even better as it makes me feel good to have it when im out with my friends.
- Bad points is battery life- i think this is purely because of the constant use my phone goes through. The touch sensors can be a bit slow but you get used to it after a while.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “16 year old man”
Score 8.0/10+ it looks amazing and is easily to navigate, either by using the numbers or touch pad.

Score 4.0/10+ It looks good and is compact. I like how you can change the message tone to music, I havn't been able to do that before with other phones I've had.
- The battery lifes lasts for 2days and it just dies on you without any warning which is extremely irritating.The navigation pad is slow to respond so when you press it again thinking it hasn't worked you end up somewhere completely different to where you wanted to be, which is again, very irritating.

Score 5.0/10+ I love the look of the phone, the volume on loudspeaker and music is good, the internet browsing is quick,
- The touchscreen buttons cause me to constantly save text messages as drafts which is time consuming and frustrating at times, the camera quality is nothing in comparrison to my old Sony K750i phone which is disappointing, the battery life is ridiculous- and it doesn't even warn you that it is gettting low the first time it beeps to warn you is it- then it turns off.

Score 7.0/10+ not a bad phone, slide function is handy for preventing 'pocket calls' as it locks it until you release the slide. looks quite good and the speakers are good for music and speakerphones.
- the touch function is a little annoying as if you are making a call and your face touches the screen, you can be pressing all manner of functions - i also found the music player a bit of a pain as if you keep it in your pocket, there doesnt seem to be a way of skipping tracks without unlocking the keypad and using the touch pad? or maybe i just havent figured that out yet. also when making a call, you press the phone key as normal, then for some obscure reason, you have to press 'ok' to continue?? bizarre....

-
the selection buttons a touch screen style and they are too sensitive, but the enter/ok button in the middle has to be pressed quite firmly. by the time you've pressed the ok button, you've accidentally selected another function by the touch screen arrow navigation buttons. its annoying and wastes time.
Battery life is also very short. I'm re-charging every other day, just for normal use of the phone without laying music.

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…
