Review

The LG Secret KF750 is a quad-band 3G HSDPA slider phone with 5 MP camera, 120 fps video capture, touch-screen (works in multimedia menus only) and auto-rotating display. It's LG's latest Black Label Series phone (the others are the LG Chocolate and LG Shine).

LG Secret vs Samsung U900 Soul: The Samsung U900 Soul was launched a little before the LG Secret. It too is a 3G HSDPA slider phone with 5 MP camera. The U900 Soul supports up to 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, and has a touch-pad beneath the screen, as does the Secret with its 4-way Neon Touch navigation pad. The LG Secret is thinner than the U900 Soul - 11.8 mm vs the Soul's 12.9 mm.
