LG U400

Music-orientated mobiles that try to rival MP3 players are increasingly popular.

The U400 is LG’s flagship music phone and was exclusive to 3 but will be widely available shortly.

The 3G slider-style handset is easier to operate than previous LG models.

It has a wired remote control with music playback buttons and an iPod-like dial for moving through menus or tracks.

The dial is too fast, but it also acts as a four-way direction pad, which works better.

Playback through the supplied headphones is decent but the U400’s cable has a standard 3.5mm jack that will take other makes.

Enjoying MP3 files dragged onto the phone’s SD memory card can be fiddly.

However, the U400’s biggest flaw is its modest battery life: it will need daily recharging if you listen to your favorite tracks regularly.

So where’s the fun in that?
