LG KF750 Secret: What’s Hot, What’s Not

We’ve used the LG KF750 Secret, the third model in LG Mobile’s “Black Label” series, has been used for a couple of weeks. Enough to determine what’s hot, and what’s not.
What’s Hot
- Good looks
- Compact size goes well with sleek suits and petite handbags
- Deep feature set
- The display really is scratch-proof
- HSDPA-capable
- Did we say it looks good?
- Responsive
What’s Not
- Lacks WiFi (but it’s the only feature lacking though)
- Camera doesn’t deserve the “5.0 megapixel” label
- One proprietary port for charger, headphones, and data cable (i.e., you can only do one thing with it at a time)
- 900 mAh battery = too little portable juice
- Chrome framing gets scratched easily
- Loves fingerprints
- Touch controls more gimmicky than useful
By loading lots of features into a very thin phone, LG has made the Secret value-packed at any price (check out Google Product Search). Yet we can only recommend this phone based on its beautiful exterior.
