Getting hands-on with the LG Secret
Monday, 28 Apr 2008

Last Friday we had the pleasure of some of the UK’s top tech and style bloggers at an exclusive event at London’s May Fair Hotel to have a look at the new LG Secret (KF750). A good crowd turned up, and as well as meeting us in the flesh, they got a chance to hear from Jeremy Newing, UK head of marketing for LG Mobile.

Jeremy first went through the phone’s features with a presentation, and then he fielded a really engaging Q&A with the audience, talking about the progress LG Mobile have made, LG’s plans for the future, including more open development for our phones, collaborating with users more, and designing phones with “Web 2.0″ in mind. After that our guests got a chance to try the phones hands-on.

I won’t go into to too much detail, as I think it’s best to read what the bloggers there thought instead, so why not check them out - from SMS Text News, Gaj-It and one part truth. There’ll be more to come (including video of the event) over the coming week, so keep an eye out for more…

Announcing the LG Secret
Thursday, 24 Apr 2008

Today in London, we revealed the name of the third in the LG Black Label line of phones - the LG Secret. The Secret (KF750) is a slender & stylish handset with a slew of enriched technological features, including a 5MP ISO 800 camera, a 120fps QVGA video camera and DivX-certified recording and playback. The camera also boasts a range of filters and modes, as well as on-camera photo editing.

The phone has a touchscreen and an accelerometer motion sensor. It also has auto luminance control, adjusting the screen brightness automatically, saving both battery life and making it more comfortable for your eyes. Inside, the phone boasts an MP3 player and FM radio, a reader for Word, Excel and Powerpoint and is loaded with a specialised Google Package that with a dedicated interface for Google services such as GMail, Google Maps, YouTube and Blogger. It also has Bluetooth AutoSync to synchronise data seamlessly with your PC, and on the fun side a range of games that hook into the motion sensor.

With the philosophy of “style that lasts”, it’s been made out of some of toughest materials around, including carbon fibre and tempered glass, with neon touch navigation buttons that gently light up the interface.

For more information, you can download the press release or the feature list. More photos and coverage can be found in our sneak peak post from a couple of weeks ago, or on the dedicated microsite at secret.lgmobile.com

Update: We have some video of the phone too. Enjoy:

The new phone’s name is still a secret, but all will be revealed on April 24th at our European launch. In the meantime we can give you a cheeky sneak peek with the photo to the right - enjoy. You can also see shots of the phone from the back, closed and alongside others in the same range. Enjoy!
