Advantages: The look and feel of quality.

...■ The LG Shine KE970 ■ With it's stylish mirrored casing to front, and it's brushed steel finish to the back, it has to be be the most aesthetically pleasing of mobile phones on the market to date. Measuring 99.8 x 50.6 x 13.8 mm, and weighing in at 119 g. The LG Shine is a solid and beautiful piece of equipment. When I went to choose a new mobile phone I scoured many mobile shops in search of a slim, neat, attractive design to replace ...
...◄ The LG Shine from The Black Label Series. ► On holding the phone you slide the front mirrored casing upwards to reveal the brushed steel keypad, this is beautifully designed and flat to the touch. It has the usual alpha numeric keys, speed dials, and of course incorporates the shortcut menu for multi functions. The microphone is placed to the bottom right of the hand piece. One of the unique selling points for me was the navigation ...

Shiny Happy LG owner :)

Advantages: A very attractive phone- lots of features
Disadvantages: Picks up finger marks easily

The LG KE970 'Shine' Mobile phone I've recently traded my faithful old LG chocolate for the LG KE970, also known as the LG Shine. After having my previous phone a year- I was so impressed with LG as mobile phone providers it felt an obvious choice to stick with LG and upgrade to the Shine from LG's 'Black Label' series. It can be bought from most stores/websites that sell mobile phones and depending on which network you are wanting it on- the price ...
...Who are LG? LG are an electronics company that started business in 1958- However it hasn't always been known as LG- it started its life as 'Goldstar'and it wasn't until 1995 when it became the brand we all know now. The company was founded in Korea. They haven't always been involved in the mobile phone market- It wasn't until 2003 when they unveiled their first design of handset. Appearance Its a very striking phone, and earns its name Shine ...

Advantages: Aesthetics, slim, small and stylish
Disadvantages: Software problems, basic mp3 player, not technologically advanced enough.

...abouit my new acquisition, the LG Shine KE970. Previously, I've been known to change my phone roughly every 6-8 months, and after spending 6 months on o2 Pay as You Go after my last contracted ended, the pro's of being tied into a monthly contract far outweighed the cons of being on Pay As You Go, even as o2 are constantly bringing out extra incentives to stay on it. I was attracted to the LG Shine purely down to the fact it was the only good-looking ...
...pick a Samsung above an LG because I know the brand and have had several phones manufactured by them in the past. Aesthetics: The KE970 is a good looking piece of kit. Featuring a mirror LCD and stainless steel exterior, it does look quite flashy. I've had the plastic sticker over my screen for the last month because I'm worried I'll scratch the screen. For a slide phone the Shine is deceptively slim, and you'd be forgiven for thinking this may ...

LG - let it shinnnnnnnnnne!!

Advantages: Pretty, hardy and great features for a mid range phone
Disadvantages: If you looking for a top range phone you will want to go up a bracket.

Having recently updated to an LG viewty, i thought my shine days were over. However, the problem with a touchscreen phone is that when the screen breaks, its essentially game over. After a touching farewell service (on ebay) i am now back to my lovely little shine. Im not disappointed though. The shine really is a lovely phone. I thought id show homage to it with a little review, so people who are thinking about getting a new phone but dont want ...
...pretty phone. However, being an LG they need to put a feature on the phone which if it breaks, renders the rest of the handset completely useless (only a little tinge of bitterness there!) and in the shine this is the rollbar on the screen. Very sweet feature, but can become frustrated as the phone starts to age or if you spill jam in it (dont ask, i have a poor track record with technology) The basics ~~~~~~~~ I think with any new phone, its of ...

BEAUTIFUL LG SHINE KE970

Advantages: easy to use scroller, handy mirror screen, good battery life
Disadvantages: scratches lightly showed up on the back

****lg shine KE970**** LG really dont know how to create a bad mobile phone do they? This mobile really was a pleasure to use, with the handy mirror front (perfect for those last minute touch ups before a big date or a meeting!) ladys you know what I mean! It has a gorgeous silver steel finish to it and it gives a complete look of elegance to the user. The brushed steel back compliments the silver keypad and the shiny mirror front. It really does ...
...for quick fixes. The LG PC suite made transferring data from the phone to the computer or vice versa simple and easy. You simply connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and you get a selection of control such as Multimedia, Sychronisation, Contents Manager (which I used to transfer music, pictures etc to the phone) and when you open the software it is easy to transfer data. You just look in the files on your computer (which are displayed ...

Love Shines!

Advantages: Stylish, great features, damn cool
Disadvantages: scratchability.

The LG shine is an impressively functional and stylish phone, which I have been more had ever since I purchased it on an O2 contract three months ago. This is a really well finished product whose design will impress you from the moment you take it out of its funky box and put it on charge, where what moments ago looked to be a mirrored face transforms to show you the stylist and fluid flash background wallpapers or electric blue logo. Anybody who's ...
...the colour scheme of the LG shine. The start guide offers a getting to know your phone section and also a multimedia guide on the back which quickly details how to take pictures, use the MP3 playe,r use the video camera, use the voice recording feature and use the file transferring feature. This is useful if you're someone like me who likes to get technology up the box and dive straight in. The more detailed manual is very clear descriptions of how ...

Black OR Pink!

Advantages: Beautiful phone, great applications, great calling features.
Disadvantages: Gets dirty easily, scrolling is difficult, texting is slow.

This Christmas, I tore off the wrapping paper to find a beautifully simply decorated box, closed uniquely using magnets. Within the box I found a pink phone and numerous accessories. I know what you're thinking. Pink. But this phone is black! I hear you cry. Yes, I know it's black. But mine is pink, and I love it. Not only does it have numerous helpful features within the phone; alarm clocks, various connecting devices, video and camera - but the ...
...great handy when I had no mirror available. So what, you say, why would a male need such a phone? Here's why.. This phone is a masterpiece of modern art in the form of a phone. The applications are smoothly made, and each roll of the scroller makes the phone seem like something totally out of this world. The graphics on the phone are fantastic, voices and sound are perfectly clear as well as having a neat sliding motion that looks stunning pulled ...

Love this!

Advantages: The trendy looking mirror and the camera
Disadvantages: difficult to see the screen in sunlight

I have had this phone now for just over one year and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with it. It looks trendy with its mirror with looks a lot more shiny then it does on the photos, the mirror is also excellent quality and you can see yourself very clearly in it. The actual phone itself is small and surprisingly thin which makes it easy to fit into your pocket or even a small handbag. One of my favourite features of this phone is that ...
...blue colour and the contrast of this against the shiny silver metal makes it look very pretty and ultra modern. The camera on this is also excellent, and I have was surprised at how far it can actually zoom in! Its extremly easy to navigate through the menu to get to whatever you want. Although their is a scroll bar which you roll to go up and down lists this can mean you will sometimes skip past messages or contact names you want if your going quite ...

What a crap phone...

Advantages: Big screen, roller navigation.
Disadvantages: Flush buttons, sliding mechanism

I got this phone 'free' after upgrading to it when renewing my contract with Orange. I had it for one day, then decided to return it as I really, really hated it. '''What it looks like''' I had the pink one, the colour instantly attracted me to it. It has a really big screen which I think is one of the distinguishing features of this phone. It turns into a mirror, hence the 'shine' part of the phone name. It is made of brushed steel which gives ...
...menu using a roller ball, this is the first I've come across and I found it quite easy to use. Although, it did overshoot a bit at times and maybe a joystick would have been better. The buttons are all flush against the rest of the phone, which makes it quite difficult to distinguish between one button and the next. As I am one of these people who don't look at their phone while texting, so this wasn't useful. '''Features''' The phone comes with ...

Advantages: looks and performance
Disadvantages: i dont think there are any!

well it was time for a change of phone and this came with a great deal on contract so going solely on its fab looks i went for it. after having it for a few weeks now i am finding out theres an awful lot more to this phone than just its looks. the specifications ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- type of phone: slider standby time: up to 280 hours talk time up to 2 hours 40 mins display ...
...with 2x zoom this phone also comes as you would expect with bluetooth and is java enabled. the advantages of this phone -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- one of the best features of this phone for me was the fact that it takes a external sd memory card so you can add up to 1 gig storage to this phone which as a mad photographer was a great addition for me. admition time-- i am not the most ...

Shine on

Advantages: Sleek, easy to use
Disadvantages: non customisable

The LG Shine is probably one of the classiest phones on the market right now. The main draw to this phone is the sleek, elegant design - the slider being one of the best and most durable available on any phone. It has all the normal whistles and bells, such as the bluetooth, camera, and media player. One thing to note with regards to the bluetooth connectivity is the added security inbuilt in the phone - making it nigh on impossible for "snarfers" ...
...it very easy to navigate through the user menu, with the usual applications and controls available to parouse through. However, not taking away from the excellent functionality, one little "drawback" is the inability to customise the handset with the themes that are available on many handsets. While I dont own this handset, my neighbour does, and I am very impressed with it. It has survived numerous falls, and other rigorous tortures that a teenager ...

It shines like a star

Advantages: It has a unique mirror LCD screen
Disadvantages: None

I got the LG shine this Christmas it is a fantastic phone. It is a perfect size able to fit easily in your pocket. The model is very attractive not bulky but also not thin. I got my phone from Tesco at the reasonable price of £44.97 when bought with a £10 Tesco mobile top-up or £69.97 on its own. XXFEATURESXX This phone has many fabulous features including: Bluetooth Built-in FM radio Built-in MP3 player Camera (with flash) Video Can access ...
...becomes a mirror! I got LG head phones which can control the volume and a button which can answer and end a call included with the phone. This phone can access Internet web pages although I have not tried this myself. This is a slide up phone with a full metal body and a 2 mega pixel camera. So I hope if you are looking for a new phone you will choose this one I have only had mine for about a week and I think it is amazing!!!! ...

Shine with the LG Shine

Advantages: Sleek design, ease of use, good features
Disadvantages: Keys sometimes stick, ringtone could be louder

I recently took out the LG Shine on contract. When i recieved the phone i was firstly really impressed with the way it looked. It was light weight, thin and had the sliding feature which i love in a phone. I also really liked the scroller which i thought was really original. When i switched it on i found it was really easy to use and fell in love instantly. When i went to send my first text message i found that the keys stick a little bit and they ...

Not as good as it looks

Advantages: looks ok..
Disadvantages: waste of money

I dont own this phone, but my boyfriend used to, and the very reason he got rid of it, because simply it was a waste of time. If your planning on getting a phone that just looks fancy but hardly does anything, and the performance of the phone is a bit dodgy then go for this one, because it does nothing but look just a little bit \'cool\' The phone froze at least once every week, and it wasnt just his, two of my friends have got the phone, and they ...
...it has alot of its memory used up, because my boyfriend hardly used it, and only had about 3 photos on it (Probably because the camera is RUBBISH) It slowed down alot, the buttons were annoying, and the screen wasnt a perfect mirror, The battery was the worst, it had to be charged every 2 days! ...
