The refined and sophisticated Secret easily ranks as LG’s finest mobile moment so far

In the space of two years, LG has transformed itself from a peddler of pedestrian 3G handsets to a leader in mobile phone style. Its Black Label Series – in particular the Chocolate and Shine – look so good we’re even prepared to forgive their dearth of exciting features.
But with handsets like Nokia’s Tube on the way, LG has decided to give the third member of the range, the Secret, some feature clout along with the trademark sophistication. In fact, give or take a few tricks, LG has plonked the Viewty’s 5megapixel camera and video show into an 11.8mm slender slider body.
Slim carbon footprint
Until the Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot rocks up, the HSDPA-rocking Secret ranks as the planet’s slimmest 5MP camphone. LG has also gone to town on the production values, skilfully carving this swish skater from metal, carbon fibre and faux leather flourishes. The result is a reassuringly solid and quite hefty handset.
When it comes to operation, the Secret serves up a three-way blend of techniques. You’re privy to a spacious but traditional mechanised keypad, touch-sensitive soft keys with a navigation pad, and also a 2.4in scratch-proof display that becomes touch-screen for certain multimedia features.
