We like:
Good-looking design; great range of features
We don't like:
Short battery life; MP3 player is very basic
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The LG KG290 is one of the best-looking budget handsets on the market and it's certainly not lacking in features thanks to the MP3 player, FM tuner and Bluetooth support. However, the phone is somewhat marred by its poor battery life
