LG U890 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: July 2006.
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 96 pixels
- Stereo music player (MP3, AAC, Enhanced AAC+, AMR and WAV formats)
- MP3 / AAC ringtones (64 voice polyphonic) / video ringtones
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, Email
- 3D Java games
- Caller ID (photo / video)
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
- Memory: TransFlash memory card
- WAP 2.0
- Triband plus 3G
- Size: 100 x 50 x 17.5 mm
- Weight: 104g
- Battery standby: 130 hours

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 radio? Cos its driving

I last reviewed this phone on the 14th April when i ahd first got it
(check below for the review. Ive had it 7 months now and am not impressed.
I have already sent it back t o3 because my games froze and it kept
shutting itself down and they fixed it fine. Then, in September my up
button decided it would pack up andnow does not work. As well as this
the ok button has come off and my phone keeps freezing. All was well
when i first got the phone but now it has had problem after problem
and i am not happy with it. I would highly recommend that you DONT buy
this phone. I must admit it was fantastic at first but PLEASE listen
to me; dont get this phone, read the other poor reviews and you will
see that this phone is completley rubbish. You would be much better
off getting the sony ericsson k800i which you can get for around £80
now. It has much more features and doesnt break.

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 last ... Love It .... ;)

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 won't work
in any of my backup phones even though they are unlocked. In all, great
fashion accessory but hopeless for communication with anyone.

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 seen
on a clamshell and will loosen within days! Camera is rubbish for 1.3mp,
try the moto V3i to see what a 1.3 should look like. 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!!!

All i can say is THIS PHONE IS AMAZING. i totally recommend that if
you are searching for a phone with all the latest gadgetrs on it, this
is the one. Not only does it operate as a normal phone 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 access to everything you would want and i'll
say that all my friends that own phones like the smasung D600 and the
Sony ericsson k800i are jealous of MY PHONE!

After having the phone nearly 12 months, I can say the phone size and
screen is great, however given its problems I would not try a LG ever
again. Very poor network reception, No Radio, Although 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 is when they have not had the opportunity
to really understand it. Oh and for all those poeple who cant work out
how to get the speaker phone going hold down the c< button (top right)
for 5 sec ish while playing music or talking.

When I first got this phone I thought it was rubbish, but now I have
got used to it, I think it is very good. The keypad is strange to get
used to, but the text entry is very similar to my old Nokia, 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!

big let down, i go to write a message and if you dont keep your fingers

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
