LG Shine KU970

By Ella Morton on 03 April 2007

You'll spend a lot of time keeping it clean and the scroller makes texting tricky, but the Shine is still a covetable piece of metal.

    • Good: -It looks amazing
      -Camera makes really sharp images
      -Battery holds out really well
      -Little scrollwheel works better than expected
      -I have the titanium version which looks even better than the normal one!!
    • Bad: -a little bit of sun makes the screen unreadablle

    It's the best phone I've had so far.

    • Good: Everything, slim, shiny, loved the mirror, didn't mind having to wipe it every now and then
    • Bad: Battery runs out quickly however I might just be a heavy user

    I really really loved this phone but the screen is fairly weak - my boyfriend borrowed it for a day, placed it in his pocket and when he pulled it out the screen had cracked both the top layer and the actual screen :( have had it less than a year does anyone think warranty may cover this?

    • Good: Looks very nice!
    • Bad: Unsure?

    I think this phone looks really good, but I'm not to sure what to do? Because alot of these people have commented on poor battery, bad camera/media player etc.. could any one tell me if they would rather a sony ericsson s500i or this LG shine? thanks :D
