Both great looking phones.

LG - stunning design, quality materials, 30fps VGA Video + 120 slow mo, large screen.
SE - again great design and materials used although not quite LG's quality, SE UI, great customer care, frequent updates.

So do I stick to what I know as in SE products or change over to something I'm unfamiliar with but has great design and features! Anyone have experience with either handset?

To me there is no comparison - LG Secret!

902 has crappy camera, only QVGA video recording, tiny screen...

LG Secret has an excellent camera for being so thin, great video, nice screen, good audio quality (gsmarena review).

c902 seems to have some cam-quality-issues.
but overall c902 clean the floor with LG secret. LG have the most horrible interface/UI of all brands.

LG cam quality is not so good as some people think, it have way to much saturation and also lacks of details.(gsmarena review)

so for the moment:

+ camera: LG

+ Design, Interface, features: C902

i should wait some weeks and see if can improve the camera in c902, then i should decide

otherwise buy K850, it have a real Xenon flash, much better screen, A200 platform who is light years better then LG.s, good camera and so on.

IMO, the K850 is a bad choice. People on the forum have been having too many problems with it.

I myself am getting the G900. It seems like an awesome phone. Great battery life, too (12H talk, no 3G).

I'm in the same predicament with the same 2 phones !

I can upgrade on Monday (C902 is out with O2 on Sunday), & I'm totally divided down the middle.....

off topic:

like i said some days before. of all thousands and thousands K850 who have been sold in the world, most people dosent have any BROD or difficult issues.
(sure, k850 HAD some software issues on the early firmwares, but new 031 or 037 runs fast & smooth). so K850 is easily a very good choice.

think LG make the most cheap, horrible interfaces/menys ive seen. if you dont want C902 or K850, etc...i should buy N82 (it have better camera then LG secret. Secret pictures (if you look here)
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_kf750_secret-review-254p6.php
looks not good at all. way to much colors & lacks of details).
think Viewty produce more natural pictures, it also have a real Xenon flash which is realy important.

it have the same horrible interface as Viewty, (who i have use several times). for example LG is VERY slow to make new firmwares (it take ages), you cant switch themes,the phonebook looks like a child have done it, and so on....njjaaa.

A200 or S60 is way much better and more beatiful, + have much better features and functions.

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.

(the one i have works awesome + good pic-quality, what more can i ask for ????
