LG
U890 Review
Phone
rating: 
Please note: the U890 is now obsolete. LG no longer
make this kind of conventional clamshell phone, but if you want
something a bit different, then the new LG
Viewty is worth a look. The LG
Viewty Black, LG
Viewty Purple and LG
Viewty Silver are available from Dial-a-Phone. Check out their
LG
Viewty deals.
Following on from the very popular LG
U880 3G phone, comes the U890. The 890 weighs in a couple of
grams heavier than u880, but is still just 17.5 mm thick, making
it one of the thinnest and lightest 3G phones around. The U890 has
been given an external makeover, giving it a "cool" appearance.
It has a flat keypad which isn't the easiest to use, but is acceptable.
Inside, the U890 is virtually the same as the U880,
with a good range of features - the kind of things you would expect
from a high-spec 3G phone. Highlights include a 1.3 megapixel camera
with flash and video camera, plus high quality internal and external
displays. The U890 offers enhanced support for music playback. With
support for MP3, AAC, Enhanced AAC+, AMR and WAV formats, dedicated
exterior music buttons and plenty of memory in the form of a TransFlash
memory card slot (expandable to 512 Mbytes), this is an excellent
music player device. The U890 supports stereo music via Bluetooth,
so you can listen to music wirelessly in full stereo with a pair
of compatible headphones.
Battery life is relatively poor, but that's not
unexpected for a 3G phone and comes with the territory. Overall
a good, compact 3G phone, with only the keypad and poor battery
life to detract from its appeal.
Features
of the LG U890 include:
- 3G video calling
- 1.3 megapixel rotating camera with flash and
2x digital zoom
- Video recorder
- Internal display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 176
x 220 pixels
- External display: TFT, 65,000 colours, 96 x

- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
- Memory: TransFlash memory card

this fone is pretty cool and the rotating camera is wicked! the
keypad is weird at first but when you've texted quite a few times
you get used to it and it becomes easy the battery doesn't last
that long but if you just connect it to the charger every night
or every other night you'll be fine i had this fone for a year and
had no problems at all

You will never get board of this phone there is always things you
can do on it. The camera isn't great but you can play on all the
great features it has like negative mode.When you put songs on it
the sound quality is great.I would suggest that you buy a micro
SD as it holds much more either 1 or 2Gb is great.The only downsides
is that every time you submit something like renaming something
there is an annoying ding sound, so if anyone can tell me how to
stop that it would be great! , and also it has a few scratches on
it but nothing major. I would defiantly recommend this phone if
you want something cheap but still cool and sassy get this phone
, it will blow you away!

just to answer a few questions about the mobile. 1. h8in dis fone
- you can delete your messages more than one at a time, go into
your messages,options,mark,choose the ones you want to mark, options,
then delete, simple! 2. nandy - this phone does not come with a
radio, so you cannot get a live stream radio. sorry i will jsut
say that i used to have this phone ( for about a year) until it
started to show signs of bad quality. i have already written two
reviews on this phone , the first one outstanding (when i first
got it) and the second one highlighting all its problems. in this
review i would like to say how not all lgs are bad, all phones have
faults although i WOULD say that this phone is getting a bit old
now and should be ideal for someone who doesnt care what their phone
looks like or what the camera is like. I suggest you get the sony
ericsson k800i (i have it and it is very good although it is a bit
of a brick) or the lg viewty ( for people that are willing to splash
out and like phones with tough screens. thankyou

the lg u890 is a brilliant mobile phone, as long as u are looking
for a mob that has it all (tv, google and yahoo, music, mp3 player,
unlimited internet access, the list is endless) but if ur after
an up to the minute, sleek chic looking mob then u may be disappointed.
I do have one prob tho, does anyone know how to get live stream

I have now had my phone for a year and I think its a GR8 wee phone.
Couldn't be without it, I have had many types of phones and always
thought Nokia was great but this phone wins hands down!! It withstands
alot of abuse, especially when a 14 month old dribbles over it!
(my downloads of music is the only thing that settles him). Texting
is so much easier and the battery life is super, music is played
steady and the battery could go for a couple of days. My Motorola
had to be charged everyday. This is my first LG and won't be my

I've never had so many dropped calls and the headphone volume on
calls is so low I struggle to hear in a noisy environment. The keyboard
and layout is abysmal, I've lost count of how many half text messages
I've sent because the backspace is so close to the send. The Sim

I was given this phone to me by my partner as i had recently lost
my other phone overboard. And she happened to choose the silver
and pink one. Jokes aside i can happily say this LG phone for me
has really made using my phone a job apposed to a task. Here me,
all i do is talk, message, the occasional odd photo, and upload
different ring tones and alarm ring (mp3's) and finally back up/add
numbers each month. I read the review that the text button was small
but luckily this phone you can click on MENU then OK and it goes
straight to text. This phone is fast and easy with a flip allowing
the screen to not get damaged with the car keeys or loose change.
I have had this phone for 6 months now and i would not change it
merely add to it. Battery is great a charge with normal use lasts
3-5 days with no problem. The camera is good enough to take the
"odd" photo and the best thing for me is the LARGE number display,
no squinting of the eyes here compared to the Nokia 5500 (awful
phone) I have had it for a while and the only thing that really
bugs me is the clock - i have not been able to find an option to
have the clock on the inside the outside has the screen but sometimes
its nice while texting or on a call to look at the time.

I've had this phone for over a year (my second LG phone) and I absolutely
love it! I agree with the review about the keyboard (not as good
as the 8120 I had before). The styling is great, navigation is easy,
The screen if big and bright, the battery life has been more than
adequate (although now, a year on with the original battery, it
isn't as good, but that it to be expected). The pics are fine (if
I want a good picture, I'll use my fuji camera, not my phone). I
was cautious about moving from Nokia's (the only handsets I'd had
previously), but since changing to LG, I have never looked back
- long may they reign!

Decent phone, very flimsy though. The hinge is the worst I've ever

Apart from that the phone has done everything I've needed it to.

The phone is slim but MASSIVE when talking a call, Flip phones have
been around for ages but this one seems to be HUGE when opened.
But if you can bare that then this phone lies comfortably in the
pocket unlike my previous K800i which is a fantastic Brick. USING
THE PHONE And yes the important keypad is quite refreshing to use
as the buttons are nice and frim and it feels well built but the
centre circle "shortcut" buttons are better operated with nails.
THE CAMERA - a gimmic I have a 10m mega pix camera and quite frankly
even the K800i was not as good as i had hoped (in my opinion until
phones have optical zoom then i see no reason to choose a camera
phone over a digi cam. So i do not think i will be using this phones
camera as compared to the my Samsung NV10 i would just get upset.
And with Facebook, photos are better shared online. The MP3 player.
Well i have a 30gb Vision M which plays my movies i have converted
to Xvid and has alot of my music on. So i wont be splashing out
more money to get better Data cards for a phone that well its a
phone, i would be majorly gutted had i been on a train listening
to music on my phone to find the battery low when i need to make
phone calls. Battery life Well compared to the C975 it is GREAT
that phone lasted 2 ten minute phone calls and then it was dead.
This phone would be good for the person who goes out to a party
on Friday and then by sunday evening would be thinking dam wheres
my charger. The only phone i have ever owned that i got genuine
battery life from was my Nokia 8810 To conlcude As this phone for
me was a refurbished phone from 3G network for only £45 i cant complain
too much. As it had pink specs on it i am not overjoyed withit,
But compared to alot of phones out there this is a nice and easy
phone to operate the text message button could be bigger but if
you can live with that then the phone for the standard user (text
and call) is great. For the outdoor get an LG OEM case from Ebay
about £3 total. I think this phone will have 3 stars. Battery life
has moved backwards since the lifelong Nokia 8810's. The camera
is not a challenger to the K800i.

I have had this phone for almost a year and it is excellent! I bought
this phone from 3 on the $69 cap. I have the good looking silver
blue Lg U890 :) and its an affordable phone. The 1.3 megapixel camera
takes very good pictures, and i like it how its a rotating camera
which comes handy. The display of both screens, front and back are
so good! Its nice and clear and easy to see. With the battery life,
the battery lasts for about 3 days! Thats the best that ive had
so far. The keypad is a nice shiny silver colour, but i dont realy
care about how you have to press it very hard, at least it works!
The phone has lots of bells & whistles, and i am a addict when it
comes to bells & whistles as ringtones. The sound quality is great,
but they should of made a separate loud speaker on the back of the
phone though... It has something i have never seen in a phone...
The battery is stuck to the phones back cover!!! I have never seen
this in my other mobiles or is it just LG that makes them like that?
So anyway i highly reccomend this phone! 5 Stars!!!

but you can have access to msn messanger for free, watch tv, for
50p for 24 hours, download things off free to browse (though i would
not recommend this as you can not send them by bluetooth) and the
graphics are brilliant! I feel that the memory is plenty big enough
and if you want external memory, you can purchase a 2 gb memory
card for only £20 which is what i have done. The phone looks stunning
and is very hard to scratch and has a small camera on it which can
twist round to change the view of the shot. I find this very efficiant
as two cameras looks a bit stupid. Overall i think this phone has

After having the phone nearly 12 months, I can say the phone size

the camera is 1.3 megs you get very poor images. Cant play MGP or
AVI video, cant read text files, cant download and do anything else
while waiting, when you use the software to send text messages out
it does not add them to your sent mailbox, Does not use external
memory to store messages etc, so when the internal memory fills
up your stuffed no matter how large your external memory is. No
firmware upgrade available. Would people that have only had the
phone for a very short time stop saying how really good the phone

When I first got this phone I thought it was rubbish, but now I

so that wasn't too bad. One slight thing with it that i don't really
like is the swivel camera because it feels like it is about to break
all the time. I prefer the twin camera phones. You can't intstall
3player on it either. The battery life is amazing for a 3G phone
though. And the only other thing I can find wrong with it is that
the cover for where you plug the charger in gets in the way of the
charger even when it looks nowhere near it, the end where it is
attached always makes it awkward.

This is the most amazing phone i have ever had. first of all with
the network service, the network is 3 and many people complain that
3 has a bad signal. I live in an area which suggests this but i
have had no problems so dont be put off becasue it is a 3 phone.
Now down to the phone, i have the pink version and it is the most
extrordinary colour along with the silver. The electric blue is
beautful too. When the phone is closed it can act as an mp3 player
with or without headphones and even while it is charging and there
are buttons on the front which allow you to choose your song. Once
the phone is open you have your normal numberpad but you also have
a video call button, a menu button and a download button and of
couse the back and ok buttons you also have shortcut buttons to
the tv, messages, customised ringtones and contacts. The download
service is incredible with lots of choices of songs, videos and
games and much more. On the menu button you have 12 choices you
have: screen, profiles, settings, my stuff, messages, browser, multimedia,
contacts, applications, calling, tools and organiser. With the screen
you can do all of your normal features such as set a theme and choose
a menu style and choose your main and front screen pictures and
the duration the screen is on for plus a greeting message and even
your own personal font style. Profile can choose what settings you
want your ringtones to be and you can put it on silence or vibrate
to etc. Setting has date, time, network info, access points and
security, language, handset info and of course your memory on your
phone and the memory card (if you have one) My stuff holds all of
your videos and pictures and sounds including mp3 songs anf ringtones
and your bluetooth files and playlists. Messages has inbox and outbox
and writing messages and video messages etc. Browswe has settings,
security, URLs, saved pages and bookmarks and home so its like the
internet and WAP. Multimedia has voide recorder, video recorder
and camera. You can have options for the voice such as how long
you record for and under cmaera and video recoder you can have a
light on, a certain sound when taking, zoom and special effects
eg negative or sepia etc and you have special conditions eg at night
or sunny. The videos and voice recordings can each last up to an
hour. Contacts ahs your contacts which you can edit and have a picture
of them when they call etc. Applications ahd games, downloaded games
and downloadables and bluetooth etc. Calling has call times, costs,
duration and history and fixed dial numbers etc. tools has quick
menu, alarm clock, connectivity, calculator, unit convertor and
world time. Organiser has calender, to do, memo, secret memo, date
finder, dateulator, settings etc. I have only just covered the basics
here and this phone can do a lot more than it seems. I figured it
out straight away wtihout reading the instructions as there is so
much to do but its so easy. I forgot to mention, the phone has a
swivel camera so tyou can turn it to point at you or away from the
phone and altohugh the camera quality is only 1.3 megapixel it does
turn out really well. Aslo you can upload vdieos, pics and sounds
to the comp or phone using a usb port. So thats all i can expalin
without writing a 1000 page essay but it is a really unique and
ultra slim phone so i give it 5 stars. (Btw the memory cards work
fine too)

I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago. Its very slim and the camera
is so good! I got it on the $49 cap from 3. I used to have the motorola
razr v3 but that phone broke. No regrets getting this phone! I absolutely
love this phone!

HAD MY LG U890 FOR THREE MONTHS NOW, AND I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS SO
FAR. I HAVE PUT A ONE GIG MEMORY CARD IN IT AND GOT A DECENT SET
OF BLUETOOTH STEREO HEADPHONES SO I CAN PLAY MY MUSIC, THE SOUND
QUALITY IS 1ST CLASS AND I HAVE ABOUT 250 MP3 SONGS ON IT SO FAR.
AS FOR THE KEY PAD, I HAVE GOT BIG HANDS AND LARGE FINGERS AND HAVE
NO TROUBLE USING IT WHEN I TEXT OR DIAL NUMBERS. IT HAS ALL THE
SAME STUFF AS MY OLD NOKIA 6630 BUT IS SMALLER AND LIGHTER TO CARRY
AROUND. AS FOR THE BATTERY IT DOES LAST ME ABOUT FIVE DAYS BEFORE
I NEED TO CHARGE IT UP AGAIN, SO THAT IS QUITE GOOD FOR A 3G PHONE.
ALL IN ALL I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY PHONE AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

I used to have the U880, and was upgraded to the U890 as part of
my mobile phone contract. I am so glad I decided to stay with the
same make/design of phone! THis phone is easy to use, small, and
has a great screen, inside and out. Only down sides are that the
key pad could take some getting used to, as the buttons are hard
to press, and also, as with the previous model, I can't find a way
of deleting multiple text messages! That gets very frustrating!

Love it except for the fiddly keys as another reviewer stated. Its
a big let down, i go to write a message and if you dont keep your
fingers completly still you end up on another page.

I just got this phone last month and absolutely love it!! This is
my first 3G phone and no complaint so far. It's neatly designed,
compact and stylist phone with a good speaker for playing your music.
Nicely designed menu and easy to use functions. Fantasic camera
with 180 degree rotation. This is really helpful when making video
calls. You can actually get the a speaker dock and share your music
with friends. The speaker dock is very good and wont cost a fortune.
Portable and can use alkaline batteries while on move or attach
to the mains. The only hick-ups are the battery life isnt that great
and back cover is actually the battery itself. So it will be a bit
difficult to get the replacement product once the battery run down.
Overall, it is an excellent phone.

i just got this mobile today. got it from 3, free on the $49 cap.
it is working perfectly so far. only one little hick-up with connecting
to my account on planet 3. rung customer support and was told it
may take 24 working hours to activate my account. music player is
good. nice photo quality. very responsive keypad. nice menu layout.
this is the 1st 3 phone i have owned. and so far the coverage seems
good. i have a micro sd card aswell. so i have a heap of pics, vids
and music on there. feels good in your hand. and on your ear. only
downside. is that it is rather long, which is hardly a problem anyway,
as it doesnt effect the performance of the phone.

Love it!!!!! Absolutely Love it!!!! Lightweight... easy to use...
great handset!!!!!! Keypad is flat, which took a bit of getting
used to compared to my old LG handset... but now I'm flying on it!!!!
My only criticism would be that the volume control when on hands
free could do with being everso slightly louder... but hey, if that's
the only thing to find fault with... can't be bad eh? Recommend
this handset... I love mine!!

This phone was such a disappointment, I took it back. The keypad
is fiddly and when I try to press a key I often end up hitting all
the ones around it too.. Worst of all, the maximum volume you get
when listening to the person on the other end of a call is so quiet.
Such a shame because its such a good looking, neat phone
