LG KG800
Score: 68% When: May 2006 Worth: €500
Read the full article » With the KG800, LG clearly made the decision to keep specifications on the down low in order to bring forward a small, light and supremely stylish handset - although its price tag claims otherwise. Its feature set - including a mediocre camera and music player - compares reasonably well to other slim and fashion phones; its most aggravating fault is the lagging text input, which stands in contrast to its responsive touch-sensitive navigational controls. This is a handset for those who primarily call and text, and want to look good doing it. Read the full article » |

When: August 2006
Read the full article » Boasting a 2.2-inch swivel display for watching TV streamed live over DMB-T for up to 3 hours, the LG V9000 TV phone also records broadcasts, snaps 1.3 Megapixel stills and more. Read the full article » |

LG U8500
When: April 2006 Worth: €450
Read the full article » The successor to LG's popular U880, the U8500 is a slim 3G clamshell which remains nearly identical to its predecessor save for polished software and a slightly improved camera application. In short, this remains one of the market's better choices for a slim 3G phone, courtesy of its superbly compact form factor, good 3G performance, a first-rate display and an ergonomically superior keypad. Throw in a 1.3-megapixel camera, video calling and microSD memory expansion, and you have a winner -- which also happens to be in stores now. Read the full article » |

LG KG920
When: August 2006
Read the full article » At 5 megapixels, LG's KG920 is Europe's highest-resolution camera phone thus far, also throwing in a 4x optical zoom lens and aufofocus for good measure. Unfortunately, initial impressions reveal so-so camera performance and a bulky swivel design, as well as sub-par keypad usability and a general lack of attention towards phone functionality. On the upside, the handset does include an excellent high-resolution display and a bundled 256 MB memory card to alleviate the woeful 8 MB of onboard memory. Read the full article » |

LG U890
Score: 85% When: June 2006 (Three) Worth: €1
Read the full article » The U890's appeal lies in its achievement of getting the basics right - with the exception of its poorly designed numerical keypad, which presents something of a bump in the road. Nevertheless, this clamshell packs a good amount of features into a slim form factor with 3G capabilities including snappy transfer speeds and video calls among the main selling points along with a nice display. Compared to higher-end models, the handset's browser, integrated music player and camera are of the mediocre sort - but as matched with its closest competitors, the U890 does quite well for itself.

LG KG320
When: August 2006 Worth: €325
Read the full article » Rarely have we seen a slim phone which leaves such an admirable first impression. The elegantly designed KG320 is a handset which doesn't compromise on ergonomics in order to achieve a slimmer form factor, resulting in the inclusion of a high-quality keypad and an excellent display in a wafer-thin form factor. Advanced functionality is expectedly absent, however, given its modest battery life; a 1.3 Megapixel camera and a useless music player sans memory expansion is as good as it gets.

LG P7200
Score: 60% When: November 2005 Worth: €450
Read the full article » The LG P7200 offers an impressive set of high-end features, gracing it all with a slim clamshell form factor complete with a Transformer-style front cover stunt which renders the handset a dedicated camera look-a-like by the flick of a wrist. Its most notable flaws include falling short on text input and performing only on average with regard to its camera and music player capabilities. As such, eager texters should stay away, but everyone else on the hunt for a slim clamshell would be well served by the P7200. Read the full article » |

LG U880
Score: 65% When: November 2005 (Three)
Read the full article » If we were to sum up the LG U880 in a sentence, we’d say it gets the basics right. An excellent keypad serves to interact with a crisp and bright internal display which handles video calls and streaming with aplomb. Despite its slim and streamlined clamshell design, battery life is also more than acceptable, and the handset’s only real drawbacks is its somewhat exaggerated claim of being a music phone and only average performance on behalf of its camera. These niggles aside, the LG U880 comes highly recommended. Read the full article » |

An ultra-compact slider, LG's M6100 weighs in at 88 g and sports a 1.3-inch medium resolution display, tri-band GSM, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, MP3 player and Bluetooth. |
