I agree, who doesn’t know and has never tried the phone shouldn’t give totally wrong judgment...I have it and the Secret has a nice and userfriendly interface, frome gsmarena review:
“LG KF750 Secret features the regular LG user interface. It scores high on visual appeal and user-friendliness. The menu looks are widely customizable making the fast and responsive device a pleasure to use.The menu structure of LG KF750 Secret is straightforward and easy to work with. Except for a few strangely placed settings, everything else makes perfect sense. The different files and features are exactly where you would expect them to be, even if you don't have much experience with LG handsets.”
For a judgment on the photos you can see the comparison on my thread, and contrary what Plank says, gsmarena claims:
“LG KF750 Secret produces great photo results” and “The Secret is close enough to some of the best 5 megapixel cameraphones”

today i tried LG secret and i can tell you one thing, Secret is one of the weakest, non-robust phones i ever have tried. it feelt VERY cheap. it was not good build quality at all.
i compared to a Viewty who the guy inside the store had, it feelt MUCH more robust. (a other strange thing was that Secret was very small, i thought it should be taller and wider. the keypad feelt also very cheap.

compared to C902, C902 feelt unbelievable more robust. obs...im not saying this because im some fan boy, just go and try LG secret yourself and you will understand what im talking about)

here some pics i took inside the store.

tough choice, but I'd still get the C902 because of the UI and because I like its design more.

I suggest that you buy the LG, named Secret. It is a better "performer" than c902. Almost everything is better. If you buy the SE it is just because you like the simplicity of the UI, or the media player. Nothing more. (IMO)

Go to a store and ask if you could compare them "live".

Yes you are one of the Heaviest SE fanboys around this forum mate. Don't get mad, but you truly are. And the new FWs for k850 very easy gets BROD, don't try to hide it.

Yes? The cheap feeling may be one thing. But if you buy a phone just for the build quality you should look at a used ericsson r310 or a Nokia 3310. If you look at the features when you buy a phone, and compare c902 and secret, the secret wins.

lil' OT: The k850 hasn't got excellent buildquality. Dust under the lens, loose screenglass, squeeky backcover and loosy batteryhatch.

Well great/lucky for you, but there is a pretty large chance that if you buy a k850 it will be faulty in some way.

Seriously? I've got the impression (from reviews and posts in different forums videos on youtube) that it looks and feels classy. That scratch resistant tempered glass on the front is a nice touch. Should make that part of the phone durable. Seen videos where a guy tries to scratch the the glass with keys and fails.

You did try a real phone and not a dummy on display at that store?

Can anyone else confirm that the phone feels that "non-robost"?

looks good, yes a little maybe, BUT really, go to your local cell phone store and feel it. the build quality is very weak (strangley). i compared to viewty and viewty feelt much more robust.

maybe its because its a slider. sliders is (of course) not so robust as a regular (viewty) phone.

Incoming, your impression is true, it’s very robust with high tech materials, go to a shop and you will have the confirmation (there are BIG difference between slide and slide, for ex.N95 has a weak slide, Secret’s slide is one of the best).
Plank, you are the only person around several forums that think Secret has weak quality:
From gsmarena:
“We are delighted with the build quality and handling of LG Secret. The top notch materials used do make a difference. The rather heavy weight, considering the otherwise compact size, makes the handset a pleasure to hold and control.”
