Something you may not mind waking up to 29 October 2008 16:00 GMT

LG Renoir KC910 mobile phone
Is it a work of art? 29 September 2008 12:00 GMT

The Good
8MP camera, DivX video viewing and Dolby sound

The Bad
Interface is a wee bit clunky, on-screen keyboard not always accurate, no 3.5mm jack

Verdict
We would quite happily keep the Renoir for longer than we were given for the review and no doubt the KC910 will be cheaper than the iPhone, as such, it could be an alternative for all of those sick of Apple
