LG Secret Review
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Jun 2008, 07:45
The Chocolate was the first global hit product of LG, being successful first in Asia and then, conquering Europe and America. The new product line was marketed under the 'Black Label' logo, which later became a symbol of the interesting and elegant vision of its models. The following year, Shine became the second generation of the series, also distributed on the three continents...

Easy. If you plan to carry it with keys in the same pocket, you don't have many alternatives (none that I know of). If you don't, however, you can take a look at LG KC550http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/LG-KC550-Review-review-r_1995-p_6.html A cheap 5mp camera phone with nice picture quality. And it received a 8! xD It too has sluggish menus, the only negative side for me (I use a PC for stuff like internet, games and only need a good camera on the phone, okay, sometimes I'd love mp3 but not always and not without 3.5mm). In any other case you should reconsider and not buy a mobile/cell phone at all, that saves a lot of money xD (joke)

Completely biased!!! It is at least strange to see design with 6,5 for a such beautiful design... And it is crazy to see all numbers above 5 and the average is 5!!!! Magic???

I enjoyed Phone Arena's video review page of some of the greatest phones. Can you update this review with a video review page? I guess LG didn't provide you with a unit for review, hence the black-label propaganda?? :-) PA, you just lost reputation.

HAHA. i totally love all the feedback slamming the reviewer..it's quite entertaining..obviously this review is total crap.... i've owned this phone for about 2 weeks, and even dropped it once (i think i fell asleep holding it and flung it in my sleep, so much so that the cover and the battery even dropped out) it still works fine. for me the buttons are pretty responsive if you touch them the right way, which does take awhile to get used to, but after that it's really smooth. one thing that really peeves me off with this is the speaker...it is total crap. this applies only for ringtones... i can't hear my phone ringing when it's in my bag...and when i just want to listen to some music when im doing my big business, it just pisses me off because the sound is too sharp and ...just plain crap. motorola's speakers are 1,000 times better...i'm not joking. it is problematic if you rely on it for alarm. the alternative is to use audio software to jack up the volume to like 100-110db...but it's just a reflection of how poorly made the speakers are. LG makes up for this with a headset that can take your own 3.5mm headphones, but i don't really like using my phone as a mp3 player..it's too bulky for me. BUT, the call quality on this is really fab. I have not experienced any better. it is sooooo loud (too loud sometimes) and crystal clear. interface is actually really good except for the fact that it can't be customised. when in the main menu you have the option of just pressing a button on the numeric keypad to get to an option. i totally love this as it means i don't have to press the touch-sensitive buttons to do all the work. and design wise, i would rate it 10/10. it's awesome. if you complain about fingerprints, don't buy phones with large screens. just revert back to the old phones.... come on man, every phone with a big screen will get fingerprints on it! it's a natural effect. LG NAILED IT WITH THE DESIGN!

I think also the review is not fair. LG secret works totally better than something which is expressed here. You have consider it that this phone is not a smart phone so you can not compare it with n82 or what else, that's only a slim fashionable phone, and in it's category is completely better than some otheres

I must confess that I am really surprised with this somehow biased review. It seems that the "reviewer" really hates this phone. After reading Phone Arena's review on the LG Renoir I also noticed a strange behavior towards LG phones, It seem that no LG is good enough for Phone Arena....is it any phone???? So much fuss about IPhone, no 3G and no mms make it a really crappy device, still everyone praises it....I must be insane for not doing so! Rofl... After watching the mega-comparison review of all 8mp phones it is clear that the Renoir is the big winner. Back to the Secret, I just tried one today, it responds really fast to touch (surprise surprise) and it's not sluggish at all, of course it could be better, yes it could. But then again, all phones released so far could be better. Take Nokia as example, if they wold put together all their expertise into one single phone (as any other brand could do) they would create the perfect phone. Let's see, N-Series, X-Press etc. All together=perfect phone. Of course they would never do this (can't really understand why) but costumers would be much happier...anyway, the Secret it's not perfect and it's not that bad either. Tempered glass (who has not seen the famous scratch proof videos - fire, keys, lighters, rubbed on tables and not a single scratch?) and carbon fiber are a guarantee of durability. Did LG do wrong in dropping support for this phone? Yes indeed a lot of ppl complains about this. No software update, shameful. But as I said it in the beginning, I did try the phone and noticed nothing of the stated in this review. I must say that along with GSM Arena and MobileBurn, Phone Arena is one of my favorite review providers. In depth analysis and videos make the whole shebang. Still cannot understand this "thing" against the Secret!!! Anyway, keep up the good work and please do try to be unbiased as Phone Arena has always managed to do so.

No offense but the review is totally biased as everbody says. First of all this product is far better than U900 soul. With its material quality, design, camera capability and yes, with its functionality.. Look at the video format it supports. Even it is a big difference byself. At least, take Secret to your hand and Soul to the other, and the first thing you' ll realize is the far better material quality and the impressive design of the kf750. In my country; in Turkey, kf750 costs 200$ more so I am not going to say U900 soul is unimpressive or unsuccesful. But the thing is that, kf750 is better. Maybe I am repeating but the quality and design of the product can be called as one of the best in cell phones history. I am thinking of the Arte' s, pradas... I still think the same. The effort in the review to show Secret totaly unsuccesful is so much annoying. The reviewer, the review.. all biased. If you are not going to be honest in your reviews than you should think about locking those comment lines. It is ironic this way.

Yes there should realize the opportunity to RSS commentary, quite simply, CMS is another on the blog.
