Mine was a RAZR2 V8 as well - the key pad started to die (switching input modes radomly while txting - very annoying) which is why I needed a new phone. Difficult to comment on the signal strength as I switched provider to Orange at the same time but I have not had any real issues so far.
Agree about the RAZR2 OS being far better than the old Mot phones. Comparing the two, the things I like about the KF750 are the real keyboard, the expandable memory, the number key shortcuts on evey menu and the battery life is def better. Apart from my two previously stated gripes I would add that the sound recorded with video is not as good as on the V8 and low light video performance is much worse, though much better in daylight. Phone feels very solid and well made as did the Razr. Personally, I still like a flip - the screen is protected, the phone is bigger in use, but it seems the industry is giving up on the form factor for now. So not being able to find a new high quality flip on the market I went for the LG. Hope this helps.
Now, anyone figured out how to get the slide to return to the home screen??

May I ask which RAZR2 are you refering to? I'm using Mot V8 now and it's with Linux. In my opinion, it's a lot better than the Synergy OS (Motorola's own OS).
How did you find the reception strength between the RAZR2 you were using and the KF750 Secret? Based on my personal testing conducted, my Mot V8's signal strength is better than the SE K550i I've tested so it's good to get some feedback from Secret users who's also a Motorola user before. The KF750 Secret is also one phone that caught my attention and I'm categorizing it in my list of next purchase.
Would appreciate your feedback, thanks

I have it, I like it a lot, but one thing bugs me. When I close the slide after I have finished an operation - say reading a txt, I would expect the phone to go back to the home screen but instead it freezes on the last screen when open. Can't find an option to change this behaviour anywhere - has anyone else?
Only other gripe is the 'predictive' text mode does not guess the word until you have input all the characters - my Mot RAZRs were much better at this.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Nokia N82 has amazing specs even compared to the feature-rich LG Secret. N82 has wifi, but do you really really need it?
Secret totally outclasses N82 in looks department. not only is it slimmer but sexier aswell.
say Secret :)
(obvoiusly if you ask this question in N82 board you'll get a different answer lol!)

Well been trying to contact someone at LG about the problem Ive been having with the slide rubbing and scratching the keys. Since Im in the US and this is an International phone no one wants to help me, or even give me a number to call! I guess i'll try and call the Korea number listed in my owners manual about warrenty repairs. I could care less how long it takes since I can go back to using me SE and hopefull get a replacement phone so I can sell the POS on ebay and get something else! First LG ive ever owned, had it for 2 weeks and already sick of them!

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I was actually horribly torn between the F480 and the Secret. For weeks i would compare reviews, specs, and watch videos of the two on youtube since I was in the states and couldn't play with them before I bought one.
Since I'm posting here you can guess I got the Secret. I chose it over the F480 mostly becuase of the fact that its video recorder on paper blew the F480's out of the water. Plus it had an accelerometer which is a little slow buy still very nice i must admitt and the tempered glass screen is a treat. In the F480's defense, and also what made it so hard to choose was the F480's .4 inch larger screen and slightly smaller size. The full touch screen is nice too but not that important to me. The lack of an accelerometer in the full touch screen did bother me though.
Now the question, if I could do it all over again would I stick with the Secret? Would be a hard decision but probably not. The main reason I chose the Secret over the F480 was the video recorder and it is abosolute garbage when shooting indoors and thats where I wanted to use it the most. Also the keys are visably scratching from when you open and close the slide. Which is actually quite comical since they go on and on about the scratch proof screen and when you open the box it says "Quality that Lasts" then the damn thing just self mutilates itself lol. Oh well you live and you learn!

What a pieces of junk. Does not live up to its spec sheet at all! I have full data plan, can get online yet phone can not run google maps or play the videos on youtube, keeps saying connection error. Guess this pos just cant hold a connection. Camera is rubbish when indoors, so is video. Slide appears to rubbing on the keys, touch navigation on front is slow and unresponsive plus the middle hard is extremely annoying keep hitting the touch buttons when I try and press it. So fed up with the phone!!!

agreed that it doesnt have the features of the N82 but it looks alot better,carbon fiber, leather, tampered glass!. only major feature missing out on Secret is Wifi which i personally dont ever need (in a phone that is).
