  • what i like in this phone is the design. the mirror finished screen is very stylish even there are some or many scratches. everything in its physical construction is really really good. the scroll, the side, everything. the first problem that i encountered is losing the control of its scroll. but for me, it is still great. love it. many of my friends are attracted into it they want even to buy it. i wish i could have a new one.

  • Can someone please tell me how to reset the virtual memory, even if i replaced all songs in the memory card,there is always staying the "full memory" :/ This phone sucks! It's just my opinion :/ Pls help me! :)

  • Hi I had it already and im so satisfied w/it coz it has a lot of features, just want to ask if i can download a facebook account with it? Coz i didnt try it yet, your answer will be appreciated,thanks

  • A very stylish phone packed with a shiny metal finnish and mirror display. It has a certified lens by some wiered name which I can't pronounce, but thats not the reason why I bought it. Is there a difference? All in all a very heavy, feature packed Korean phone.

  • Pres menu, then 9, then 6, then 3, there you are. Then go to the 2 or 3, there are international things. Good luck.

  • how can i make my phone, no to accept long distance call, is there any option that i can use to do so

  • thare is no arabc language in my phone ke970

  • I do own a lgke970,recently i am having problems with battary holding the charge. At full charge with 2 mns talk time,phone will say battary low or shut down.

  • how do i get connected to the internet with the phone without using the w "n" web

  • If it's working what i need it's good mobil.

  • this phone does have speakerphone just hold the (C return) button

  • It's a great phone, metallic design, very nice feel of it, If you don't need internet, is the perfect phone for you, If you want those fancy apps and text a lot, go get that iphone over side on your hands that might drop it and break the screen and cost you arm n a leg to fix!!! and pay the big dollars on those high price internet services!!! IT JUST A PHONE TO MAKE A CALL, NOT A COMPUTER Dahhhhhh

  • Excellent phone, very nice design, i am very happy of the over all metal feel, too bad is not 3G, wish they design one in 3G or 4G, for someone who don't need or can't afford internet, is a perfect phone.

  • Still one of the sexiest phones around. Shame about the scroll bar. And Slowwwww. When using browser( even opera mini is slow) and browsing photos. Google maps refuses to load. Like the stereotype pretty dumb blonde.

  • This is a sexy handpone. I use it already 3 years old. all my friends admired my handpone this. they envy mine. I am very menintai handpone this. if produced back, I will definitely buy it again. :)

  • In nigeria the phone is very expensive and I don't like the way it sounds.

  • I using it for almost 3 yrs. It works fine except that 1. Ringing sound is low and I always miss calls when I am on the street. 2. The On/Off switch is getting un-responsive because of the component aging. I need to press it hard. 3. Battery power drain quick when playing games.

  • its been over 2 years experiences. LG SHINE is totally out of my list. Design looks great but the functionality is terible. Always have have a problem with display. For now im using SONY ERICSSON J105i..da best~

  • It is look beautiful

  • This phone is really annoying it's really hard to scroll in opera mini. The screen needs non-stop fix.

  • i love this one, its much better than SHINE II , but i cant really tel the difference between this one and the one with the trackball... i like this one better

  • it a good phone but it always has display problem.please show the phone settings on the internet.

  • i just want to throw it in dustbin.because i repair it many times for display.

  • I dont know. Scroll works really great. Overall it is a nice phone. It just works

  • The scroll bar is awful. you can't stand it. If you want to buy Shine. and you don't know which KE970 or KU970 to buy, In my opinion buy KE970,you'll not need 3G on this small screen

  • put lower brightness on the screen (it uses less battery) disable sounds that you don't need

  • I am using LG KE970 BUT battery pack-up is not properly i have to recharge daily the battery is lithium Ion battery 3.7V 800mAh LGIP-470A SO what i do bout this phone i think i had to broken this phone and buy new nokia mobile phone because his assecories is good and clearity also there

  • super phone

  • i just buy a ke970.after i buy it i don't like the way the phone worked.i was just disappointing.i have just buy it for $285 in my country Suriname.speaker is not loud enough.u can't change the sms ringtone.after 6 mnths my desplay get broke.i dont know how.when i fixed the desplay after 2 mnths flexcable get broke too.wHAT I WANNA SAY IS I HAVE TOO BAD EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE LG SHINE ke970.WITH ALL THE REPARATIONS THE LG COST ME NEAR THE $500.IM VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED

  • ebay has a lot of them not bad prices. Juat type in ke970 on ebay and you will find them most it seems come out of hong kong

  • im in Kenya and i broke the screen for my KE970 where can i get it replaced

  • can my lg shine screen be replaced

  • how can i get a web browser for my LG KE970, i cannot connect to the internet using my lg KE970, what will i do? please help me.

  • is it possible to change the glass screen if it shatters?

  • this phone is nice but the mp3 volume is not enough to be heard esp. if you want to let others hear your mp3 playlist. it looks dumb coz you might need to press it against your ear..

  • is this phone gud?????plz answer me.....and i need to know about the sound....is it really slow that you can't hear....???????

  • Has anyone managed to download and get working google maps on this phone ?

  • scroller is hard to use and sometimes does other than what i want. i agree that is also needed a fm radio feature as well

  • its agood phone but the music is very low i can hardly hear my phone ring and it should have had aradio but overall it is a nice phone

  • my screen is off

  • i love this phone i want 1 :D

  • HELLLPPPPP!!!!!!! I'm such a stupid idiot. Yesterday i was so bored that i decided to just play around with the phone again which i still have for 2 years. In the security section, in "Fixed dial number" i turned it on and then i turned off my phone and when i turned on my phone again, the sim doesnt work!!!??? OMG! im so scared. Coz when you turn on the phone the lg symbol picture things stays there and nothing happens?? help, do you know how to unblock it??

  • This phone i found gd i had it for just about a year apart from the scroller on it was a bit annoying but apart from that it was gd i dropped it loads of times and it still worked the only thing that went wrong was i left it on the sofa and my dog got hold of it and it ended up getting a crack in the screen but o well it still works now my brothers got it.

  • Well this phone survived anything and everything, it went swimming and came back the next day, i threw it up a tree to see if it would come back down and it is still good until yesterday after using it for a year i was balancing my phone on my head (stupid i know) it fell down and now the screen is cracked internally (bugger) for the time i had this phone i loved it, very sexy design and very sleek, camera shutter speed SO SLOW, hard to take decent photos unless you hold the pose for what feels like 5 minutes buttons can be hard to press and wheel sucks for amatures ;) you get use to it though. I LOVE THE FISHING GAME, addicted still after over a year. I would recommend this phone to anyone but not if you are looking for a long term phone as you will get pissed off with the features it has i did it is a pritty it doesn't have message lock that was a bummer too overall yeah i would get it

  • I am trying to set my songs as ringtones but I keep getting a message saying that the file is too large to use as ringtone. Apart from shortening the track is there any other way to get around this.

  • Yet again I find myself looking on the web for help with an LG phone. I came here looking for the user manual for a KC970 all the dodgy manual websites on the net direct me eventually to LGs site where the manual is not available without downloading a .exe file. Lg are not a proper phone building company . their fridges and tellys are great I have both and rate them well.

  • This is a good phone.Camera,Charge,looks all fine only the sound is very low..music cant be heard properly..

  • how to download new software & games subjected to this phone?

  • hey guys can anybody help with this issue: is there any software updates for this pfone and where do i have to install them from? Thank you.

  • this phone is very good but the only problem is that if you try to use it outdoors it will be impossible!!!

  • This handset is so smart but it does not show waiting while anyone make call from this phone to someone who is talking with others. So it becomes difficult to understand ,is the man busy whom I'm calling

  • It is piece of crap... I`v used it for some five months and few times I`v been really close to crash it on the concrete floor. Almost every day switches off and on without any good reason, camera is one of the worst I ever had, scroll button is really annoying, mp3s on external memory can not be placed in playlists... And this list just goes on and on... Find somewhere Ericsson T10s and you will be more satisfied whit that brick then with Shine...

  • I have this phone, and I simply adore it. We have our fallouts though. You can't answer or text without sliding it. You can make calls and do eeeeverything else without sliding it though. To get into the language options its menu > settings > languages. Tick the one that most appeals to you. LG make decent phones, since I've had this one nearly two years I'm going to go with another LG because they really are reliable.

  • does this language predict and how do i access this feature

  • you can't. but you can call without sliding it.

  • hi, this phone has a very Gud Camera,but no zoom can be expected.sound is very very low..also its weight is more..battery back up is ok..

  • Its not a bad phone, but there is no way of viewing the screen when outside in a mildly sunny/ bright enviroment. This is a massive design floor, 'style over function' is the most relevant term. Clearly the R&D team did not take this device outside!

  • you can find it on amazon under unlocked phones

  • hey , anyone is aus know where to get this fone ? cos ive tried looking and cant find it anywhere. i want a fone with a really good camera and i think this fone might be it.. just cant find it :S anyone know if they are stil sold heree in australia?

  • I totally agree..........people do not waste your money. TRUST ME. I am not one of those people that require a whole lot of features on their phone.But the simple features i enjoyed with my nokia 6230 (yes that old phone) I cant enjoy with this peace of crap.

  • lg phone is 2 good in looking but the problem is about the sound . and the most good thing about this phone is that its camera clearaity and it also shows gud impression in front of every people and hot looking phone

  • LG Shine is such a nice phone. It has really raised me higher than I am. It's attractive look draws friends to me. But the MP3 sound is too low. Can anyone recommend another LG phone that is as attractive as KE970 but with good sound quality, longer battery life.

  • I loaded the program 'LG Mobile sync'that came with my LG mobile KE 970, in a mini CD, on to my laptop. The program does not work. I cannot get my mobile to talk with my laptop. It keeps asking for comm port to be entered. But then the window is frozen and does not allow text to be entered. I also see that USB check box in the window is permanently checked. (Grayed out check mark which cannot be altered). Does anyone have a solution. I connected the mobile through the USB port to a laptop running Win XP.I reinstalled the driver 5 to 6 times.But no joy. Please advice.

  • i have lg ke970 and its great.the onlu thing i dont like is that you cant dial while the slide is closed(the dial keys are inside under the slide).it is a litle slower than some others but it is ok.i like the miror screen because i dont need miror in mu bag.IT`S GREAT.BELIVE ME!!!!!!!

  • this phone surely has speakerphone. Trust me! I got a silver one.

  • this phone is ok, but the prblem is you cant see in the day time its too bright.

  • It is a nice phone to use. One problem with it is that that the volume level is not loud enough. There have many times when the phone rings that I have not heard it.

  • Ok well I'm looking for a phone right now and it seems to me like I don't want this phone! I guess it's just the sleek look of it that really draws people to it. I know that's the reason I was interested! Thanks for the review.

  • LG Customer Service guy recommended I bin it when i explained my experience with the phone. Horrible design - although it looks nice, the looks certainly get in the way of its functionality, which is actually a terrible way to design things! It interferes rendering the phone useless. Plus the internal design mapping is nonsensical and inflexible. I regret purchasing this phone. My screen craked (or had a 'bleeding lcd crystal') without any pressure or knock to the phone. In under a year it had 2 batteries. If there is sunshine outdoors - don't even try to use your phone. Because you can't. You honestly CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN! All you see is the mirror! I've complained to the company directly and to the retailer and they have been nothing but rude and uncaring (and denying there is anything wrong with it, when all they have to do is take it outside if there's any sun). Rubbish phone, rubbish company. This was my 2nd - and final - chance with an LG product and I was upset with both items. STAY AWAY FROM LG OR YOU'LL REGRET WASTING YOUR MONEY!

  • this mobile has display problem.beware of it.i am suffering

  • how much cn i get these phone 4???

  • the phone is good but the problem with it is the volume, it is very very low. please they should try and improve on that.

  • How do you play fishing mania?and how do u press ok on the phone actualy when the option is on the scroll?

  • hi.its a very gud looking phone.but the memory card doesnt work with the blue tooth.can anyone help me?and my lg shine shows only a few kbs of phone memory.plz someone help me.... plz...

  • Some LACK of BASIC features I've found out during the first week. My last phone was Motorola V557, so that's largely my basis. Despite these things, the phone is great for the price it's being offered: - no speaker, so not too good sound; - can't change the SMS ringtone beyond 4 default sounds; - T9 doesn't work too great with symbols (I'm, I'll, etc.) - can't customize shortcuts of Up, Down, Left and Right navigation keys; - no voicename dialing; - music player stops playing if you go out of the menu (can't play music and work with the phone at the same time); - the up-down side keys are practically useless; - address book lacks birthday and address; - only one alarm possible (can't put two or more alarms); - can only send a message to 6 people at a time; - can't search for name of pictures, music and documents (try scrolling through 500 pix); - can't change themes, not even build-in; - doesn't come with data cable in box; - options menu and scroll-click functions could be more intuitive - you have to go through several steps to do what you expect with one click; - can't make your own caller groups; - even when in silent mode the camera shutter makes noise; GOOD features I wasn't expecting: - metal body feels expensive and stable; - 4 styles of numeric input (original and beautiful); - amazing scientific calculator; - menu and camera work even when the slider is closed (after unlocking the keypad); - macro mode photos; - great unit converter; - beautifully animated world clock; - autofocus camera, white balance, effects; - office document viewer;

  • hiiiiiiii ,, its so easy , fst of all open the back cover of cellfone and u see a space below the sim storege place...now insert the m2 card in dis place .....

  • i don`t have any of this problem... i even dropped my phone and he doesn`t have anything...

  • hi am using LGke970 last 6 months its an awesome phone ya .it's camera is excellant

  • where is the memory card slot ?? i couldnt find it o mine!!please help me because i couldnt find the slot and i cant live without ]music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Very nice looking phone. Metal construction, so feels tough. Speaker OK. I managed a converation while walking along a busy street with cars going by! Mirror effect brilliant. Battery life poor. Slider, daft idea, LG were right to drop it. But most menus are numbered so I can get the right option. The slide bar often picks the wrong item. Camera avarage. Phone slow when looking at large collection of photos. Much much slower than my older Nokias.

  • DONT EVER THINK OF BUYING DIS FON!!! 1)when u transfer things frm phone memry to memry card .. it get stuck :( 2)sliding gives u trouble .. like when u slide it up ur diplay vanishes .. n show starnge distorted image 3)key pad is so hard dat my pulps hav become hard .. and keys hav pulled up dat ive to stick dem wid glue 4)after a 3month use..the speakers hav stopped working .. 5)headfones r highly uncmfrtable .. ears start aching after 15 min use ... so kindly dnt dnt dnt think of buying it if u love ur money

  • I used mine for just about everything taking pictures, copying documents recording memos and important meetings. (1) I am a bit of take care and use carefully person; however I wanted to know that when the memory card is inserted is that what causes the video to be able record for a longer period of time? (2)Today before 10:30/11:00 my phone just freezed up with the green squared still active on the camera whilst I was taking document photos, then it started to heat up. I contacted the company but they told it wasn't there product. I was in the process of moving the files from the phone to the computer so everything i had and was stored on there as of this day 27-5-2009 seems might be lost and all the time they had to answer calls/email and nothing even after about 4 to 6 emails I sent they responded to to basically and that was after the second email I sent to them (LGE).

  • I found a LG KE970 shine phone but i can't recieve or send pictures, Please someone Help me!!!

  • Brill phone!!! It so DOES have a speakerphone. Although battery life isn't the best in the world, the phone itself is great to handle and use. The features- camera, MP3 and scroll wheel are great and work perfectly. 10/10!!!!

  • Hi, I have LG shine and it is amazing phone and I feel I am real wonderful lady with this phone and I will not change my mind in it. Actually, I have a problem right now in it, when I call anybody, it said that the network is busy and I can not call anybody. I tried the SIM card in another phone and the card is perfect and is working very well so what is the reason of this problem. Can anybody help me please? Thank you very much

  • im usin an lg shine the only thing i don't really like is that the volume is not loud enough....other than that it's great.

  • DAM! what u all talking about! the phones are bad and good! depends how luck u have... so if one not work it doesnt mean none will do! i have lg shine (kf970) and is excelent .. the camera is so good.. in comparation with other 2mp`s phone .. the meniu is easy and the Java Inet its also cool .. if u do really carry of ur phone than will fine with u .. and if the phone start reseting ..why dont ask to urself what brings that ..:p is just the SOFT . only reseting the soft and works again .. Lg shine is a simple soft phone .. there no needed to downloading and abusing with inet connection .. otherwise will get again the soft problem! omg ! u see? is normal.. it work like an pc .. :p if ur windows is slow ;p or crapy blocks and stuff than u should reinstaled..:p same as the phones too ^^ so go ahead buy phone what is the most close to your caracter ..no matter what kind of is ^^ can ge lg/nokia/samsung/sagem/motorola/etc just dont forget dont buy fake one xD good luck with phone regards :)

  • Donny this is omar from Pakistan i m using LG KE970 its a excellent phone i already used samsung and nokia sets but this is exceptional and the impressing thing is that it has LOST MOBILE TRACKER. i lost my set on gun point but believe me after just 5 days i got set. i will prefer you to purchase this set.

  • well every one hates this phone if i was you don't listen to them this phone is the speakers good well brilliant its not slow and its cheap

  • i have the LG shine and it is a gem its brilliant buy this phone its a amazing phone for a low price

  • i can not decide which phone i should buy, i have to get a prepaid TelstrA and i have it narrowed down between the Lgke970 and the NoKia 6120 but both have there ups and downs. SOME ONE PLESE TELL ME

  • I have this phone for year and a half. I bought it as soon as it was available in Argentina. I have many problems with it but it has nice things to. At first it works correctly, and I love it, but then when the time passed, the scroll start working wrong and slowly, and the all phone was slow... I typed a message text and it appeared 5 seconds later. The problem also is that it scratch a lot, it's metal. The buttons from the outside, doesn't work to attend a phone call. One more thing is that you can't reproduce the mp3 if it's on the memory card. I'm not saying that it's a bad phone, it's really pretty and the camera is good, the sound is good, a little slow when you are listing music without the head phones. I'm going to buy another phone now, but this phone was with me for year and a half and I really like also with the things I mention before. Hope this comment help!

  • Really it seems like a shinny silver garbage.... Why you don't try LG or NOKIA as they provide some better fon at a low price

  • I am abt to buy the lgke970 but not too sure it will work for me pls advice me if i should go ahead and buy it. how is the sound in the ear and mouth piece.

  • This phone has so many problems you can't count them. Do not buy this phone, no matter how great it looks. A phone is suppose to work not look pretty. Many problems in this phone. Just search it out and you will see people trying to fix it.

  • AWFUL.. i have it .. and i hate it.. volume is really low .. the camera is not that good and the keypad is really bad.. seriously don't buy it

  • this is a slider phone,so if u care ata time open & off,half of ur probs is solve,and while u talking-slider should be in proper way otherwise it will goes voice problem, at night while not necessary switch off it to save battery

  • I have got LG KE 970 from belgium, last june. I have so many problem with the phone, 1. I lost the sound first and I cant hear any thing with out the headphone. 2. after the sound has lost the vibration has gone. If any one has face the same problem and solve it, please post the options!!!

  • It's not saled with pc suite. Try to get pc suite that is saled with Kc550. Works fine. :-)

  • are the front screens of shine silver and the titanium black the same colour?

  • I've got one now because I had a cookie bt I traded it in cos it was being slow and kept reseting it's self, now I got da shine it's be and looks smart but the battery meter is unreliable.

  • Hi!!! I bought the same celular that you have, but i dont got it the LG KE970 Mobile Sync software CD-ROM Suite Version 1.0. Do u know where can i find it?

  • i bought a lg phone ke970 only i used for two month and it show white screen. i cant see anything

  • i have the titanium black one and it's stylish, sleek and all around great to look at. the scroll is a little hard to use as it can over-scroll attimes andthe buttons on each side of it can be hard to press :) Good phone though....

  • I really like the phone, I have the pink one and it does have speakerphone.

  • hey.. i hv the option of this or the lg kf600. which should i take? which is better?

  • i can find how to make it louder not by ascending

  • why is the phone have so many problem is this phone is the worst one

  • A little to big

  • Is it all true???!!!

  • do not get this phone. it is the biggest waste of money ever. no reception anywhere and when it does have reception it loses it 10 seconds later. only get this phone if you like wasting money.

  • this phone is awful. it loses reception everywhere. do not get this phone unless you like being disappointed/pissed about wasting money.

  • does anyone out there knows if this LG Shine phone goes through US Cellular...or if US Cellular is/can be a carrier of this LG Shine phone....b/c it doesnt state or mention that US Cell is one of its carrier??? Just wondering???...Anyone???

  • i have one. Its a nice phone, nice sound, nice looking all round. The camera is great, the screen is nice and it looks good coming out of a handbag or pocket. I will say (not to be sexist) that this is a girls phone. But it is nice. xx

  • this is the worst phone which i ever used, it's operating system is very slow, having network problem,very poor sound quality,don't have speaker.N lot of problems, it is total waste of money.

  • this is the worst cwll in the world because it has very poor sound quality abd very slow processing & very unsafw to use

  • Additionally, I have big meaty hands and have absolutely no problem using the scroll roller and button setup. It reminds me of the nokia "Matrix" phone I used to own, except this phone works!. The shine has really surprised me. The issue regarding smudges on the screen...are people really that vain?. I work in photography and don't treat �1000+ setups as preciously as that! Get a grip. An all in one phone will never replace dedicated items. Its not a camera, not an mp3 player...its a phone! And a damned nice one at that...

  • hi folks. bought this phone reasonably priced yesterday and find it a lovely phone. Ring volume is fine, mp3 playback doesn't bother me (I have 2 ipods, a video and a nano) camera doesn't bother me (I have a nikon dslr, a canon compact and a fuji bridge) so wanted a decent phone. This phone has not disappointed so far. I had my last phone (sony ericsson k770i) stolen lasy saturday and was gutted. This little phone has cheered me up. Nice phone. Some of you guys must be treating it very rough. I have owned practically all makes of mobile and I can tell you the ones that gave me the most trouble...nokia. I had three different models and had big problems with all three. My favourites have been the sony ericsson models but wanted a change, after my recent theft. I loved my k770i. Regarding the ringtone "quietness" issue, I have no idea what you are upset about, fine for me. Maybe you've been unlucky. Sorry I don't agree with the "haters"!

  • It is so cool. It has a great camera and video camera. Also if you don't wanna use a plain old walpaper you can use a flash player. you can also view word excel powerpoint and pdf docs it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo cool.

  • my shine turns off when i close it suddenly, really fast also, my speaker is very soft and my mp3s dont play loud are all shines this way?

  • this is a phone for girls only....i don't know how a boy can think he should have a shine.....lucky you, that you didn't buy it! i have a shine and for me is ok...i don't have a lot of expectations from a phone,i just loved how it is designed....em!

  • This is the worst telephone ever have. Bad Sound Inmature operating system (if you modify a phone number, takes 30 seconds to update it). Bad signal. Bad Keyboard Pls dont buy this phone

  • dis fone is a waste of time cuz i waz tinkin bout buyin it but d features not 2my likin...

  • i was ready to buy it. but thank u guys,u save me... :)

  • If you need a phone for a long talk dont buy this phone because a battery needs to be recharged every 2 days.

  • I buy this phone but It is very shame full It have not enough speaker to hear music.the seller also not have confedens to change or to deal with a claint I am very disapointed .

  • i have bought this 4 days ago,but i see that the options is limited.i have pay for this mobile US$275,- i dont like it anymore because i was hoping that i will get a phone with nice and better features.but im disappointed now

  • this phone is not so hot the only good thing bout it is dat there is a mirror other than that i would not have bought the phone low memory and u cant multi task on it

  • is there no way to increase it's SMS memory? the limit is 300 sms...

  • how do you use the e- mail plz tell me

  • o my god got this fone 1day ago it is so sexy! volume is good:O scroll thing is great i get good signal...the hedfones are also prtty good!

  • it�s soooo beautiful!!! ellegant - stilish - design. i want to buy it but is very expensive ( in argentina) and don�t have good features, sound is low. it�s only a pretty mobile

  • the volume is very-very low. and is impossible to adjust. the signal is just bad. i have my phone out of service in a lot of certain areas of where i live. almost all the time i get miss calls. not to mention text messages - of course i dont hear them coming. i dont like T9-mode messaging, and it is set up automatically - so i always have to push the bottom button like about 5 times to get the normal mode of typing, wich i always forget to do, expecting that it set the way I SETED IT UP. the alarm doesnt ring thru silent mode -- so, what - i supposed not to put it on silence night time so i would be able to wake up with the alarm in the morning?? well, with this volume u actually dont even need the silent mode - cuz it feels like it is ALWAYS on silence. although the camera is pretty good, considering that it is only 2 MP. well, if ur little sister doesnt have camera yet, u can buy KE 970, she wouldnt need to answer calls in kindergarten.

  • I have a LG KE970 shine but it is impossible for me to install the driver on my computer because i was asked to enter a register key that is not given to me.

  • Hi everybody...this phone is good in style but when ewe comes to sound we cant hear without the headphones.

  • i d'ont like to this phone the signal is so weak !! the design is ok but i thing that this phone is good only as a gift. nokia n82 is the best !!!!!

  • A very beautiful and attractive phone . Stylish for both women and men . It has an easy to use system , scrolling does requires time to get used to , Quite ok battery time , the volume is perfectly fine . Has an expandable memory up to 2 GB (Micro SD) . It has a 2 MP camera,but it's camera quality is quite stunning if you consider it as a 2 MP camera , got a good flash for normal use .It's actually a good phone for a regular decent use . Fulfills roundabout every requirement .

  • hello honestly, this is a very beautiful cell phone, but by far the most flimziest phone i have ever seen. 1: slider get's really wobbly 2: not very loud, i have the ring volume set on the highest which is 5, yeah i know 5 not 7 or 8 like other normal phone manufacturers, so i get alot of missed calls because i can barely hear the call. other wise awesome phone.

  • does this phone use a sim card?

  • I wanna get this phone. Can any1 tell how are the headphones of this phone?? Whats the quality of them ?? and is there any privacy option in the security settings ?? is there any Black list? Can u block phone numbers??

  • reset the settings. it worked with me many times . now i have sold it.

  • I have the LG KE970 Shine in gold. At first I thought it was a little overdone and flashy but I've so grown to appreciate this "cute" phone. It is very easy to operate & understand,& I loved working my way around its many features to be pleasantly surprised at its versatility. Yes, it is a bit heavy compared to other phones but even that I've come to appreciate. I have the option to "upgrade" to a Blackberry Curve and I am thinking twice, I do believe I'll have to do both.

  • Pros: 1. Very nice casing, made of aluminium-metal. 2. Nice big screen 320*200, nice fonts. 3. Has much internal memory, card slot. 4. Good sound. 5. Good bluetooth sensitivity. 6. Stylish. Cons: 1. A little too heavy. 2. Camera isn't what i actually expected, even it is 2 mpx. 3. Cannot change themes. 4. Keypad and scroll wheel take some time to get used to press it correctly. 5. Software is maybe a little complicated and needs to be used for some time to get familiarized to it. 6. Read PDF documents of maximum 10 MB in length. 7. Gets easily scratched.

  • u should not directly remove the data cable. u should use the safely remove hardware function in ur computer

  • appliance and a very good and technology an excellent, but on the site, should have a more in portuguese to be easy to understand what the equipment is ..

  • Is this phone has a cable for pc?!

  • This is my daily cell phone. I love the phone, also the design of the phone is very nice. But my priority of a cell phone is the menu, easy2work and not to much details , + it's also a slide phone .. so very easy to work. My opinion, one of the best cell phones I ever had.

  • is this phone overall a good phone

  • this phone is very sexy ok ppl

  • it sucks that the phone doesn't allow mp3 songs to be used as message tones. why?

  • Good fone battery no good and volume not loud enough but appart from that kool fone

  • try reading the site, it says very clearly.

  • does this phone take expandable memory? m23/micro sd

  • battery's sucks.. not support mp3 sms ringtone, can't view full screen wallpaper portrait only landscape.. no handsfree speaker..the USB connector cable didn't work, it'll shut your comp off everytime you pluggin' it...

  • Does the lg shine have a touch screen ??

  • Hi i was going to get this phone but after reading the bad reviews im not shure now. Can anyone reassure me whether its worth buying?

  • the volume is too low...may be my phone? or do you have the same problem?? thanks

  • help, i have the LG KE970 and i plugged it into my USB, and i unplugged it and it says wireless off, ive tried everything, (removing battery, turning phone on and off etc.) but nothing works, please reply

  • um dude wats your problem do u like the phone or not stop trying to make the lg shine look bad its the best phone eva it rox

  • beatiful in style

  • mine neither....

  • I bought it a few days ago and from the moment i held it in my hand I just loved it!

  • This phone is GREAT i love the pink. Pictuure quality is amazing and flash is awsome. Mp3 player is great

  • am so much in love with my LG KE970, ITS TITANIUM BLACK IN COLOUR, got it 2day... So far every thing is good...

  • I love this phone for its features like camera internal 50 MB memory but the one thing which makes this phone to compare other cell phone is the short text messages memory

  • i have this phone n i just love it..its a fantastic decision to have it...

  • Volume can be adjusted by going into profile, personalise, set ring volume and OK

  • i love this phone so very much but the only problem is that it came with no USB cable.

  • i cant switch to my external memory card without my security code.please i need it.

  • I've had the Shine for about a month and a half now and the only thing that could be different is the processing, it is a touch slow at times. I've been able to connect to everything just fine. If you drop it too many times it will shut off periodically and if you drop it hard enough it will reset the memory. Over all i give this phone a 4.5 on a five point scale. Just be careful with it and don't drop it

  • Nice phone but came with no usb lead or headphones. This maybe on UK models only,I dont know. Only takes up to 2 gig micro sd card, but no matter. Superb finish and very solid and classy looking.

  • dont try this phone. its fille manager is too slow. it cant run many applications as other mobiles can run. i am using it for half year & i have tried to connect it to pc to use as a modem & also for file transfer, it has not connected for a single time. i have given it to service centre more than 4 times 4 they have done nothing with it. its bluetooth is too slow that a song was not tranferred in 45 mins once (about 5 MB) its battery is not good at all. only it looks great & its camera is really good (and flash is useless)

  • oh goodness. this phone should come with its own cloth to keep it clean every five seconds. 2nd of all, the keys below the scroll thing are kinda impossible to touch. the call/end/clear keys. and the tiny number keys need to enlargen. and its also impossible not to kinda scratch the darn phone, the back cover has like a zillion lil. scratches. also phone knows when its in a case, caz whenever i put it in, it lights up. and when i get a call and take the phone out fromt he case, it rejects the call! WTF?! anyways i will switch to like a nokia or motorola or something. anyways holla at you peeps. oh the mp3 player sux the volume is too low, it has only treble and the scroller key ting is very sensitive. i feel like stomping the phone ont he ground with my steel toe boots! anyways whatever. but the pohone looks damn sexy!!! dont you all agree!!! but as i said, whatever.

  • its nice but gets scratched very easy and the battery life is crap

  • I resently purchased this phone, its a wonderfully designed phone but I am disappointed with some of the features: 1. The security feature, its very limited, i think its awful that you cant lock certain features like any other phone, anyone can press unlock and yes when the code is off, i would've loved to have a phone that can lock my phonebook, photos etc. yet keep teh actual phone unlocked. 2. You cannot assign your personal ring tone to the text message. 3. The battery life is terrible 4. When playing the mpe player without headphone the volume is too low.

  • desent phone but i have one question Can i bann a specific namber calling me or only all incoming calls?

  • I bought th LG Shine last week and to me its a great phone in its class. It seems to me that people are looking for features that would be available in either a a PDA or a music player, as I said its a good phone in its clsss, I have no problem with the volume i think its adequate, I think persons should learn to use the features and handle with care before they bash the phone, the only improvement i would like to see on it is the size of the video screen

  • I love my phone and I have had it for two months. But call me stupid I cant seem to work the security code. Nor am I able to set a password for my iamges and messages etc. HELP

  • I've got LG for 4 months now, and I hate this phone. His battery life is low, you can't download anything bigger than 300KB(which is not such a problem), typepad doesn't work, Memory stick is loading for 5 minutes, you can't select files you want to delete, you have to do it one by one, I can't delete some files(which I put there), MMS and SMS capacity is very low, screen is f***ed up, sometimes I can't turn it off... I wish I never changed it for my Sony Ericsson K810i. I hate LGs. Never gonna buy anything but Sony Ericsson.

  • Very popular at our store... I only find LG a little difficult to work with (the menu). The roll system is very quick but sometimes to quick so it becomes a little difficult to use.

  • sorry in my last message i put film instead of phone lol, minor spelling mistake haha

  • I have this phone my self and it isnt very good at all, Can't hear it ringnig or when you get a text, I had this phone 4 days and the roller went on it so had to take it back and exchange it, and i had that one for 2 days and the roller went again, and i wasnt hammering it i hardly touched it! i would not recommend this film but its up to u if u are willing to buy it or not but it isnt built really well!!

  • what is your reason for saying they suck and what makes the other two phone makers better.

  • nice cell got one for XMAS

  • no my friend just bought this phone and it is like a razr with the volume on 1 and u cant make your own equalizer. Sorry i ment to ask all that have this phone what is your service provider i didnt read over before i posted it

  • can the ring volume turn up louder than the phone set it to

  • im asking all what your service provider with this phone

  • im asking all what your service provider with this phone

  • can u send and recieve ringtones on this phone

  • If you want to take a close shot, try selecting the MACRO mode in Camera Options. That's why it was made for.

  • can you put your own songs in as ringtones for this phone? please reply back, i might get this phone soon and i dont wanna get it if i dont like it!

  • it can see videos on full screen? tanks

  • Great phone the D-pad is easy to use althugh sometimes the left and right things are a i tough to press.Batery life ok.. but i've been having problems withwatching videos on 3.gp format.. any suggestions?- strong slider great camera and looks.

  • It is a bad phone.LG isn't a good mobile mark.They only have nice designs.That is why people buy them.Better buy a better mark like Nokia or Sony Ericsson because they are the best.

  • Disagree with the sad ring tones, that's what the EXTERNAL MEMORY is for!!!! Imaginate....

  • i think this phone is awesome it works well and looks great

  • I disagree with the 'zoom on the camara' part - There is a zoom, all you have to do is change the settings: While taking a photo, go to options and then go across to resolution. Finially, change it to 320 x 240. Exit options then try zooming (two arrows on side).

  • Do not buy this phone if you haven't already. The bluetooth is unbearably slow, you can't customize your message alert tones, and there's only two decen ones. Unless you download ringtones, don't expect much. The ringtones are extremely generic. Not very many things are customizable at all. The camera is ok if you are taking pictures of things up close, but there is no zoom. Which is extremely frustrating. Honestly, the only good thing about this phone, is that it's extremely tough. I mean I have dropped it countless times and I've never really had a problem from that. The back side will get a little scratched up, but the inside ofthe phone will be just perfect.

  • I have had this phone for 3 months and I really like it..it looks really good,it has a fantastic camera,my bluetooth works really well,the speakerphone and volume work well and are loud enough.Although I wish it had a little more internal memory,I am happy with it.

  • dear users...is there any slider tone and power on off tones in this? plz reply thanksssssss

  • i just got this phone for an early exmas gift and all i can say its a awsome phone i love it to bits it does everything for me :)

  • hiya, i've had this phone for over a year now and i love it! i'm gonna get a different one now only because i want a contract. it looks good and the picture qulity on it is really good to say it's a 2mp. i've never had any problems with it! so you don't always have to listen to bad reviews :) it does randmly switch off sometimes but i do believe that's through dropping it lots because i am clumsy!

  • Hi to all It is a great mobile set i have ever used but i need to know the use of a special feature. Can anyone tell me if there is any option to restrict unknown number to avoid such slut calls. waiting for reply thanx

  • omg im goin to get this fone for christmas :o nd all these bad comments made me upset :( is it that crap? :( well i hope ill like it :P

  • This phone can't multi task, you can only do one thing at a time, needs to be improved on

  • to everyone complaining about volume not being loud enough: try tweaking the mp3 file in audacity (lower the bass and jack up the treble)

  • Is the sound on the speaker for the music just bad or is it the talk sound also? I have the Motorola SLVR right now and the talk sound is awful. Does anyone have a comparison? I just bought this phone and it hasn't come in yet should I cancel my order?

  • i have this phone currently since about april. i find it alright to use as a phone but if you want something to entertain you i would not recommend it. to be honest i got really bored of it after the first day. hope this helps. p.s. my battery lasts one day from standby and about 100 messages.

  • The first time you put the card in the telephone it creates some sudirectories. It recognises no other subdirectories. The solution: Connect the memory card to a computer and move the proper files in the prepared subdirectories.

  • can we put password on folders?

  • ofcourse

  • this phone is complete and utter crap! ive got loads of songs in my external 2GB memory chip and i cant move them to the mp3 player list. i have to move them from the external chip to the phone memory and it only has 50mb! The loud speaker is not loud at all! but i swapped it with a mate of mine for the nokia 6230i, only had half a cover as it flew out my pocket whilst riding my moped! lol. well, all in all, seeing as i'm a nokia luva, i can honestly say, that this phones internal operating system (the system its using to run etc) is not as good as it could or should be. Nokia's oldest phones are way better than these. Sorry LG! It's a long and narrow road to success. ;) I've also asked mates of mine who currently own that phone, and they claim to have theirs crash a lot when it comes to flipping the screen up or down. I'm not convinced with the scroller, and i also notice quite a bit of lag whilst navigating thru the phone. The cameras flash is incredible tho! not as gud as the N95 tho. but im quite happy with it as i use it as my torch! lol

  • I have been looking for a new phone because i am switching networks. i have been interested in the shine for a while now but idk if i should get it. i am a huge txter and txt pretty fast so i need a phone that easy to txt on. is the shine the right phone???

  • Just wanna ask if it is possible to personalize its message alert tone to mp3 tones and not just the pre-installed phones in this phone?

  • its a very gud set but as far as loud speaker is concernd its worst set

  • I bought this phone 2 weeks ago in Croatia. It looks beautiful and it is mostly in metal. So far I can say that it is loud enough although some of preinstaled music are quiet at first. It may seem to someone that scroller is difficult to handle, but it is not a problem. Its software i can compare with Motorola�s software and i can say that I�ve seen better one.If you like to listen mp3 on this phone buy a better batery since the original one doesn�last too long. I must mention problem in the menu in Contacts. When you scroll down during the wiew of a contact, it freezes for a few seconds. I don�t know if it is a problem of only my phone or of that model.

  • Hey Martina! When you put the earphones on it's really loud! But when u take them out, it isn't very loud

  • ..well what to say, i bought this mobile 2 months from now on(gold) and I like it, what can I say, it realy looks good, is good in hands, speakers are not that loud as I expected, but they can pass,pictures are good,from scala of 1-10, I'd give em 8... :D

  • Hi! to all, can anyone tell me abt music of this phone.Speakers are loud or not plz help me.

  • Can someone tell me how to set an mp3 tone as my message tone??? Can't seem to figure it out.

  • i personally do not think this is good phone, yes strong but gets scratch easily also not very loud, brok easily!

  • I got this phone on last May 2007 replacing my Motorola V3. Overall, this phone is quite tough even more than 10 times fell down even in the street... The minus...keypad is really small...i really hate it...coz quite often to make wrong typing....coz of this problem, i prefer to make a call than text. The text msgs ring tone just only for 4 seconds, so i cant hear the alert even i set it as MP3 which is can play at least 3 mins. LCD screen is make fingerprint a lot...no speaker, alarm so quite (cant wake me up) The product did not comes with hands-free, so need to buy another one...( comes with earphone which is doesnt have mic, just only speaker) Games is not interesting at all... Heavy...u can throw this phone to robbery...they could be unconscious for sure

  • i do really luv this phone.....

  • i dnt thinks a very gud phn

  • LG phones dont ring very loud. Im hard of hearing so its a prob for me. Trouble is that I like LG phones for their clear menu layout and also for the quality of the earpiece sound.When I open MMS to read msg it says 'receive failed' any reason why???

  • hi! i have an LG KE970 and i dont know how can i hear the sound of alarm if the mobile is silent??? plsssssssssss help me!!! my email is [email protected]

  • this is a pretty gud phone.......mainly it attracts attention of people......battery life isnt that good, its okay...music in earphones is the best....any doubts contact me at [email protected]

  • i got the this phone yesterday and its realy good til now. i got it for 175 euros in cyprus, the camera is great and writing msgs is easy over all i would rate it a 9/10 cuz thers nothin rong with it till now exept that the slide is jst a little wobbly.

  • you have to place your songs in sounds folder which should have the folder MP3 included

  • If u want to listen too music, instantly by using the MP3 key on the side, the songs have to be in the directory (like this:) /songs/mp3/name.mp3 and yes u can read Microsoft office and PDF files. they can not be edited with this phone. Question from me: does anyone know if this phone can read from SDHC flashcards (the faster version of micro SD). And another question is if the phone can read from cards that have a bigger capacity than 2 Gb (for example, if i insert a 4 Gbcard, can i still read the first 2 Gb or won't it read at all)

  • can you save office documents on it?

  • nope it's not touch screen. it's nice though but the battery isn't that good. can anybody please tell me how to save songs in SD... i already have songs in it but it says empty everytime i open it... please help me...

  • iam getting a lg shine and want to find out if it is touch screen?

  • this fon is the best, hv used for abt a year now and is still functioning appropriately. ooo im madly in luv with it. u better get ur own as soon as possible

  • does anyone knows any other way to increase to ring volume. its way way toooooo low. its ridiculous.??

  • The most beautiful phone iv ever had tempted to wear it around my neck. Good quality pics . Main problem is poor battery life and delicate screen and ringer Volume. otherwise so far so good.

  • and lead to the computer also. Not a memorycard though.

  • I love this phone! The only reason I'm getting a new one is that it's not 3G. Also it can be annoying to watch out all the time, not to scratch the front! But all in all - the best phone I've had so far. And yes, it comes with headphones.

  • hi to ht peeps who have this phone, do you get headphones with it do you get a lead for the computer and do you get a memory card with it

  • iam having trouble getting the pix from my cell to the pix chip any advice? and yes the chip is in the phone as user guide shows.

  • this phone looks great ,but the signal is very poor i hate it because of that

  • it does support up to 2gb. i have a 2gb memory card and it works perfectly fine

  • its very good

  • it also supplies 2g because i have one currently in it

  • its wrong written in spec that it suport 2gb card, it only suport up to 1 gb

  • its a good phn but one problem low volume still luv it

  • you can play your songs on the mp3 player 1st move your songs to the memory card them move them into the mp3 folder after all your songs are in the mp3 player

  • I wantto now about voluom islaw or not

  • and you can play them in your mp3 player? If they are on your SDcard you can olnly listen to them one by one

  • send it back to the manufacturer, its amazing what they do to have customers say good things not bad things

  • if your battery stuffs up go to your local reconnect shop

  • thats incorrect ive had this mobile for over one year and have always loaded songs to the SD card

  • I've had the phone for 1 day. Figured out that the mp3 player only can read songs from the internal memory and retured it back to the store. Petty I liked the phone

  • i tried taking out the battery and putting it back in, but still dont turn on. i even bought new battery and charger and still dont turn on. any other advice?

  • its good and i like it. the thing is that it doesnt has enough volume in its internal speaker

  • Hey i have the same promblem with the mms settings! have you found out anything? please tell me if you have i'm desperate

  • It uses a different sim card, you will need to transfer your info to the new sim card

  • I just received this phone .. i have AT&T for my wireless carrier and when i put my SIM card in the phone it would not read it .. and also it would not read my SD card .. can someone help me please???? and email me at [email protected] .. thanks

  • I just received this phone .. i have AT&T for my wireless carrier and when i put my SIM card in the phone it would not read it .. and also it would not read my SD card .. can someone help me please????

  • I have this phone for over a year now and it still works as if it just came out of the box. Before this phone I had a Motorola SLVR and in a way this phone is sort of a downgrade to what the SLVR had in options. For example the speaker phone for this phone comes straight out of the ear piece, whereas the SLVR has an extra speaker in the back for the speaker mode. Also it doesn't have the best connection to service, as in where my SLVR had full bars in a section of my house, the Shine would have little to no bars in the same area thus there are a lot of dropped calls.

  • I have the pink version of this phone. Works well texts quick. My scroller works wonderfully. Love this phone and very stylish. I have had motorola V3x and KRZR in the past and this LG is a whole lot better then the motorola. A+

  • I have had this phone for nearly 7 months now and it is absoultly crap. ive still got it but im thinking of giving it back now the new lg viewty that has just come out is so much better. i think when they were making lg shine they didnt think it through. Sorry but i regret buying it.

  • Take the battery out, wait 5 sec, take it back in, and your phone will start now. It's a common bug on this model, no biggy.

  • only 2GB sported

  • yea is like a mirror and it isnt that big...

  • This phone doesn't support memory card more than 2 GB.....

  • I just bought this FINE phone. In the 1st day my headphones broke and it doesn`t recognise mp3s on my mem-card and does not play then in the mp3 player! If I want to listen to my 2GB of mp3 I must manually select the song I want to hear every time! If you know any link to software witch fixes that problem plz post response.

  • OKAY i am trying to make a decision between the LG shine KE970 and the LG shine CU720 which phone does anybody think is the best please reply ASAP IT A PHONE LOVER EMERGENCY!!!!!

  • Some body please tell me the video resolution in KE 970 ?

  • Phone is good,but he doesn't have radio and camera is bad..

  • The phone looks great on the outside but inside it is pure average. Average camera, average musicplayer etc. If you use the phone outside when the sun shines you won't see anything on the screen because of the mirror-effect.

  • does this phone send picture messaging?

  • My mom has this phone. When she uses it, the battery lasts 2days max. When i use it, the battery doesn't last a day! And that was minimal usuage. The screen has also been replaced twice. Otherwise it is a very nice, solid phone.

  • LG KE970 - I bought this phone for my wife and it was sent back to LG 3 Days later for a replacement and i have now recieved it back and i live in Central Perth and i cant get coverage on this handset not a very good experiance.

  • Is the keypad comfortable when you type and stuff? Or is it like hard to press sometimes? Please reply anyone!

  • I've had this phone for about 5 months, it's a brilliant phone, but i've had enough of it now. Simply because. 1st, the cable had broken. 2. I Couldn't make messages 3. I couldn't recieve messages 4. My charger broke. and now, i have had it... Although i do recommed it, because it is still a fantastic phone. But if you want phone with alot of memory so you can store lodes of pictures, music and videos then i do not reccomend it. If you want a phone with a lot of memory buy the Nokia, twist one.

  • great mobile phone..a little performance repairemnet wold be welcomed..scrolling key colud be better..but futere will show it's quality..features colud also be a litle better..but finally conclusion is that advantages are much more represented..so i give b+..cause i love design..and quality of pictures..sounds..and coloures..)))

  • have this phone for a while now and its kinda okay. plus its not a common phone so its kinda cool in some ways i read some not so good comments but i havent got nothing against it so far... it can also double as a mirror if you wanna see how you look which is kinda neat...

  • i've had this phone since last fall/winter and it's an alright phone. nothing too fancy. looks good but the things in the phone suck (no instant messengers etc)

  • am using it from last 2 months and it feels great to have a cell phone like this.. i dont even feel a shame to remove it and talk in a person having iphone.. iphone is getting to common but LG shine is something unique.. have developed a respect towards it.. am not saying its a perfect cell and its also not the best one but its unique and has some different features than other phone.. has an very good cam even.. i mean 2 MP cam range its better than even sony erricson....

  • disapointing phone!! Ive had it about 7 months now and i'm looking about buying a new phone. The phone dosent recognise when the sim card has been inserted and is constantly looking for it!! Battery life poor too!! =[

  • he's just perfect

  • i am trying to get one . but they are awsome i love it ke970 shine

  • hey i brought this phone 1 week ago, and 3rd day the phone started havin big problems, cant call anyone from the contact list and phone is sooooooooo slow, and cant view any message or settin any icons

  • i got this phone its cool and i luv it and i diidnt regret it after but when people are searching bluetooth they can never seem to find me why?

  • the difference between the two is ku got 512 inbuilt memrory no expantion for memory card and a small camera on front for video calling and supports EDGE

  • I love it!

  • KU is 3g

  • I think tha phone's another of my kinda phone, sleek,stainless and easy to access,only that it aint a 3g phone,but its tight anyway...love it!

  • yea i was just wondering whats the difference between the KE970 and the KU970?

  • great phone! i love it. has some of the best features there is out there. fun scroll bar and always amazes people.

  • i got my gold ke970 about 2weeks ago. it it perfect for the average non gadget freak person. excellent and simple phone. my only issue, the darn fingerprints!

  • I Love this phone. I just wish it had more internal memory, but i can live with a memory card. I think the volume isn't very good, but o well, at least it looks good and you can get a 8GB memory card for it. I think that they should come free with a memory card but then again they are only like �34 for a 8GB one. O well.

  • can anyone tell me how can we play full screen video in it? [email protected]

  • I have bought the Lg Shine before 6 months...the mobile phone is beautiful,but the functions are terrible,the speaker is so quite,you cant hear any song you are playing,the phone is slow when opening pictures,the camera is good,but the video is terrible,battery is weak,you have to charge it every 2 days...my opinion...dont buy it...really...dont.

  • i have a ke970 it's good but i don't know how to find out that it have themes or not if u know please tell me thanks

  • this is the best phone i have had but can someone tell me how to merge the external memory with the internal memory

  • Great phone, but the volume SUCKS!!!!! I am concidering getting rid of it b/c whenever its in the case I absolutely can not hear it.I rely soley on the vibration which is quite annoying concidering I paid almost 275 for the pink european version.

  • can someone tell me,why can't I play mp4 or 3gp type of videos on my LG...is phone broken,or something else...tnx

  • go to www.consumingexperience.com and as u read dat it will give the english manual to download in adobe

  • if you have had the phone a long time.you need to get a new battery.which is a lot better.

  • to change the camera to high clarity.you need to go into options.go onto quality and change to super fine.then go onto shot mode and change to on.it also matters what resolution you have picked.

  • how do i get the headset or earpiece to work? need an answer

  • hey guys... plz help me I want to buy this phone and I want ur opinion

  • Hey...I'm a guy that bought the Shine...it's not a bad phone at all and I can't really agree with too many of the concerns...the most irritating challenge that I have had is that you can not see the screen in the outdoors...especially with sunlight.. the message tones are really nothing special...wish you could personalise them...i finally figured out how to use the memory card...you have to transfer the information from the phone directly to the memory card...it didn't work any other way i tried...i think women would prefer this phone because it's actually a mirror only in the outdoors...all in all i would give the Shine a 3 out of 5...Hope this was a little helpful

  • + good looking + nice mp3 player + the roll key - the software is very heavy - software problems - the screen is invisible in the sun - low battery life - not shown the name in the incoming sms!!! - when a name is stored in the telephone memory is not appeared in the bluetooth screen do not bye it!!!!!!!1

  • This phone it's built whith software problems. I have one and it's the 5 time when it's in service. They don't solve my problems whith the software

  • plz help.i want to buy this phonebut how can u move around?????

  • One of the best phones ever invented, go to to discuss about this phone.

  • hi girls and guys.. i think that this fhone it is good but the sound... sorry the sound it's off. i can't listen the mobile when someone call me. only have that problem, but it's bigger

  • i have this phone i put my memory card in it, but cant get it working ? anyone who knows can u please let me know thanks heaps x

  • 21/04/08 (dd/mm/yy) Yesterday i prolongued my kpn network service and i choose the LG shine as my free phone. I must say i love the phone, but the software and menus and stuff are crap!! For a device that's still this expensive more than a year after it's release i thought more of it, but that's me. Still a nice body. :)

  • you need to tell the LG operators in Ikeja Lagos Nigeria to help me repair my LGKE970 phone. it has a screen problem and each time i take it there, they keep telling me to come back in two weeks time that they have not been authorized to repair it. please your urgent attention is required to this issue. i love the phone and i need to be happy am using it.

  • really googd the best phone

  • I just got back in the states and ordered the LG Shine online a few days ago. I found it the cheapest at CellularBooth.com for free plus 50 bucks cash back! I didn't have to pay anything for the phone and got it in the mail today. I don't know if I'll get my 50 rebate check in a few months, but the phone is sa-weeeet!

  • I bought this phone a week ago in the gold tone- so far evrybody loves it. its really unique and offers a break from those that flood the market. Not for a tech-head but is still a goodbuy fers of beauty, aesthetics and simplicity.

  • I really do think that this phone is a little boring, the memory is really low and the camera is distorted

  • i live in the country and they said that u cant send msg .since it is a city phone is that true

  • i have this phone and have been using it for about half a year now. I really wouldn't recommend it because: a)the vibrate is very hard to sense(nothing compared to my old SE) b)the ringing is very soft c)i've been trying to find a decent software to save my texts onto my comp for quite sometime now, and i've found a lot of softwares that work on many other models but not this one d)the reception on this phone is very bad!!! (i'm sure it's not my network's fault because i've tried the same spot with a different phone) Besides the outward appearance of this phone, I really don't find myself satisfied with any other parts of it...

  • Hi, i'm interested to purchase this phone,cuz it's really cute@!!!! Is it easy to use the internet like the palm ? Cuz i have the Rokr E1, and it's kinda sucky. Where can i find a website that cells the LG shine, and will it be able to use it in South America ?

  • very nice ladies phone. MP3's make for louder ringtones. Love the scroll bar. Unfortunately Telstra in Australia has not bundled this phone with the USB data cable making transferring of photos and music impossible.

  • I have a problem with this phone and I want some help! I change the ringtone, and in some cases it doesnt work.. the phone put me another ringtone that is different that the one I choose. Thks

  • i haven't got the phone yet nut i don't really know to get it now. does the phone have a really bad battery and have low sound so someone please please e-mail me and tell me i will love you if you could!:)

  • Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the messaging on this phone? Because I'm thinking about getting it, and I'm a huge texter so if the messaging options and such aren't good, I might reconsider. Also, is it true you see the phone number instead of the contact when someone calls and/or texts you? Email me in relation to this topic thanks!

  • can someone help me i dont know if i should get it because i had a lg m6100i and the bluetooth was slow and very low sound so is this phone good or not

  • I got a LG KE970 Shine yesterday, and so far, I'm loving it!! It's really cute and the features are not bad as many people have complained. (Like sound, and message and stuffs.) The only thing is that you cannot use your own message tone and you cannot zoom in to view pictures. However, I will need some time to get used to the scroll thing. Other than those, the phone is perfect.

  • im thinking about getting this phone, but it only supports up to 2gb? through microSD. or what is the highest capacity?

  • Great phone, would be the best deal if it had a better battery (960mAh would be ideal) and support for custom playlists (not just one that you have to seek through). Because of that I usually keep music in folders and manually advance on song end. Aside from that I experienced none of the problems people have described here(no name in sms, etc)

  • I Like My LG KE970 but I too has the problem with the battery not giving the correct reading,however I wish there were more features such as the option of changing the message tones and more storage on the phone I also thought that it had radio and was dissapionted. Is there any cases made that fits my SHINE.

  • Great Looking Phone, simple to use, but the Sound level is too Low, the Battery Level is not Accurate too,one minute its low, the other minute its not. But its the Looks that Count nowdays, appart from that ist a Phone, & You can Make Calls & Takes Pictures, listen to Music and all that Stuff what any Modern Mobile Can Do. I Like it.

  • i sell 8 of this phone everyday its not that bad but i dont like it

  • hey guys if you are wondering how to change the problem of not being able to see who is messaging you.. change your numbers from having a zero at the start have +61 for eg: +61437 765 432 instead of 0437 765 432 :)

  • i really like this phone. i have the pink one. one thing i dont like is the sound, its too low.

  • Is there an extended battery for this phone? thanks

  • Can someone tell me how to install games on this handphone? like.. from .Jar files. It says it automatically has install menu, but it doesn't. So can someone help me? or e-mail me how to install this games.?

  • I have the phone and like it, however I'm searching for PC software for it(agenda, contacts, synchronization, etc) the works via BT. As for the person complaining about the number of events ... if you really need over 100 then maybe you should be thinking about a business model. There are many minor inconveniences (like lacking mp3 playlists, yeah I can use folders but I have to advance manually or "deep" sound in the headset which nullifies increasing the volume) yet compared to others I have found the the + severely outweigh the - but that depends on personal needs.

  • This mobile I like so much because it is very stylish and beautiful especially for ladies. I really want to buy it for this reason and the price is very reasonable for any limited income people like me because I am a student.

  • I need a 2nd Phone, and I am stuck between this, a Samsung J700, Nokia 6300, and an SE W810I. I just wondered if you had any problems with the screen and ect, and which you think is better! Thanks in Advance!

  • can i change the menu styling(themes) for this mobile. if possible tell me how. reply to my email

  • I have had this phone for 6 months and i have found no flaws. why do ppl not like this phone? some ppl want to do like 10 things at once of course the phone wont do it all! geez give the phone a break!

  • yes it has that feature if you open new text msg and then press # you will find it!

  • I hate how you have to type out each letter while text messaging. on my old phone, the words come up automatically. Does this phone just not have that feature?

  • I have the LG Shine Slide Gold. I find that it isn't as great as it is advertised. I mean it's a gorgeous phone that gets a lot of attention, but the features that I expected of it is very poor. The calendar only holds and supports 100 events and the events can only be about 10-20 characters. Flash light photos do indeed come out poor, I haven't had a chance to put in the memory card but I am sure that it will have problems as listed on that website provided below. Great tip when buying a phone, do the research before hand to not be diappointed.

  • read this ...

  • a few question i want answered, since i don't have an english manual. i check lg site and they don't have an english manual either. 1)is there anyway to remove the ENTRY button on the right? since i don't have internet, its not in use. anyway i can change the Entry button to NEW TEXT MESSAGE? 2)is there a way to save your text message on the the sim card? thanks in advance.

  • Do any guys own this phone?

  • im also having the same problem as emma..in the inbox for SMS my messages don't come up with the peoples names it just has their phone numbers so if i don't know the number then i'm not sure whos messaging me. Also when i get an incoming call the number just comes up on the phone and the name doesn't appear. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know as it's really annoying. plllz hellp.

  • hello i want a camplete english catlog of LGKE970

  • Great phone but in the inbox for SMS my messages don't come up with the peoples names it just has their phone numbers so if i don't know the number then i'm not sure whos messaging me. Also when i get an incoming call the number just comes up on the phone and the name doesn't appear. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know as it's really annoying. Thanks Emma

  • Can you tell me, how much memori can he stand, becouse I am going tu buy a 4 Gb micro Sd card for him. Can He Stand that? Please answer me on this e-mail: [email protected] Thanks

  • Hello ! If you know an MP4 encoder for this phone e-mail me PLEASE ! [email protected]

  • I cant seem to download P3's to the MP3 playlist I can download MP3s to the sounds folder. How do I get to the MP3 folder?

  • Hy. Do you know some java app that works like a video player for this phone ? I just want to see the 3GP in full screen , but the phone doesn't support this feature . Thanks .

  • Australian telco Telstra released this phone as a prepaide for $AUD249 Overall it is a good phone but the battery is a tad bit on a short lifespan. I love the screen resolution- it's perfect however hard to see the screen on a bright Australian daylight. The MP3 player is fantastic- better than alot of SE Walkman phones. Message sound is slightly on the softer side. I did not encounter whatsover problem with my phone- it works just fine but then I never drop my phone. Scroller keys need getting use to. The large screen and mettalic body lends a ultra sophisticated looking phone. 9/10 for me.

  • i only uploaded .gif animation files and put it in images folder, these work i don't know about the others!! ;)

  • Sorry for asking again, but i have problems. There's one: I tried to upload some flash animation (.swf) using the USB data cable. I put the files in the Images folder on the phone, but when I wanted to see them, there was any animation. The animations simply don't appear in the memory of the phone/external memory. How can I upload some animations files and where can i put them (which folder/directory)? Thx

  • Thx, ccl.

  • sebi i think that the problems with video or mp4 are related to the memory on the phone but i'm no sure. i didn't have that problem. i think that the phones r a bit diferent depending on network. that's why some have different applications. ;)

  • ccl, thanks for your reply. A nice trick with the MP3 player. But there is nothing to do with the games and app.? When I bought the phone I thought it's like in the reviews, but it isn't. There is also a problem when I play a mpg4/3gp video, because it plays in slow motion (i mean it plays videos slowly) and I cannot watch well the videos. Do you have the same problems?

  • Sebi, i bought mine in poland and is the same you cannot change the settings on mp3. which sucks but what i've done to solve that is to change the song name. for example put 1(song name) and 2(song name) that way all your songs will be in the beginning of the play list which is a lot better than searching ;). Nothing else to do i guess!!

  • laura it depends on what kind of person u r. i like to use everything on the mobile and instal other applications and games, and for that nothing compares with nokia. but this is a very nice mobile and applications are reasonably good, and also it's beautiful.what u can expect from mobiles, all of them have falts and qualities, but there'r some realy nice applications and scroll key, is just a matter of being gentil with it. ;)

  • I post again. I saw the review of KE970 here at gsmarena.com And I'm surprised because I saw that the description of the phone doesn't fit with my phone. For example, the "Playing the tracks" section of the review says I can filter tracks when you choose the MP3 Player from the Multimedia submenu, but in reality when I choose the MP3 Player from the Multimedia submenu it directs me to the song list, without letting me choose 1. All songs; 2. My play list; 3. Settings like in the review (picture2). I have nothing to set to the player, it simply doesn't have any settings. Also, there is a problem with the pictures, because i cannot maximize them. Can anyone tell me why are these differences between the review and the real phone. (mine at least). PS: I bought this phone from a local dealer. I'm from Romania. Thx again

  • I have some problemsŞ 1. I can not install almost any ".jar" application, because it gives me a lot of errors. I saw that, when i try to install something, it asks me if I want install it in the original directory or if I want to make another. What to choose? I could only install 2 of 10 ".jar" applications, because it says something about some errors. 2. Can i delete the initial mp3s (the ones which are in the main sound directory)? I don't like them and appear in the play list. And, also, can I create a new play list? Thx in advance.

  • i am considering buying this phone when my contract is up with annother phone and i need some advice whether to buy it or not. i am reading that people love it and people hate it. that theres problems with the scroller and when you talk to people it is really low. is it worth buying it or should i look for something else?

  • Oooh i just love this phone its like it was made for us people who are born to shine, im a party ani;mal and believe you me this is a show stopper. me my shorts and my lip gloss damn this phone makes me feel very very hot

  • I like this phone and relly I think when I call someone I can't hear him very well,and the songs too.I'm from Romania .

  • yea i have the hot pink shine and i love it so much theres nothing wrong with this phone except that when you talk to people its really low and u cant hear very well other then that its amazing and this shine is way better then the other one, and i dont no how to chagne the msg tones can some one help me..

  • btw, the batteries get charged while you are transferring files from the pc to the phone, using the usb data cable. now, how convenient is that?!!

  • this phone is really nice, although the price is a bit unreasonable. i've had no problems with the scroll key like everyone else has been saying; you just have to be gentle with it. unfortunately, the metal gets scratched really easily. the battery life isn't so bad. the features aren't so bad either. this phone has some cool features considering it's just a cell phone. remember it's not a computer! all in all, a great phone and very flashy.

  • I have had this phone 3 months and I HATE it. When I use it as a data device it won't charge. It has problems with more than a handful of songs at once. Turning it on with a full memory card inserted is impossible. The scroll wheel is rubbish, far too sensitive in one direction. Sometimes the software goes haywire and it needs to be turned off. It won't let me send pictures as e-mails. Overall I would have to say that it sucks.

  • i was downloading music and a virus came with one of the mp3 and from that point the phone stuck at one point, i tried getting it flashed but everybody i bring it to the flash they put on it don't work. what do you recommend i do?

  • i got this phone about a week ago. i love it so far but i have been reading all these coments about the scroller not working properly and the phone freezing all the time. however i find this a very easy to use phone, what do you expect a phone to do apart from txting and calling?, if you want a phone that has good music capability then i suggest you buy an ipod or something. buy the way is it possible to get different themes?

  • Thanks for the info eban... I've tried it before. The problem is the plastic sticker covered the speaker so i barely can hear anything. I took it off then it works... Da!! I feel such a fool hehe....

  • Can anyone tell me how to turn on Predictive Text with this phone?

  • i love this phone and everything about it

  • @bali: you can control the volume with the buttons on the right side of the phone. (there are 5 levels BTW, the text messages capacity is 300, is there any way to increase it? I bought a memory card, but I couldn't find the option to save the messages on it!

  • the volume is too low.... I can't barely hear anything when somebody calls me. How to turn the volume louder?

  • if you put the sim card on the sms should read auto in the inbox. that is what happened to mine ;) sorry not being able to help more :(

  • i have this phone for makeup use only, before i go onstage and i cant find a mirror, i use the screen to powder up, its a real hoot!

  • does this phone have a SIM card?

  • I love this phone

  • hey. just a quick question for anyone who knows: how can i save a message (into the phone) which is on the sim card? because i don't have any option like "safe this message on the memory phone"? if anyone knows pls pls let me know by email preferably. thanks a lot!

  • i have just bought the phone, only one thing to add.. It's a phone!!! It's not a computer! It's realy nice, the scroulling key, just be nice to it!!! works just fine if you be gentil!! Up until now it's a beautiful and very funcionable device... For a mobile...

  • This phone is a nice phone I like it and try the ringer is kinda low I give this phone an 8 out of 10 I like I had an accident with mine Thoth I had it in mypocket along with some keys and I cracked the LCD

  • I was highly disappointed by this phone. Ok, the design was stunning, great looks, and it really shines. It has full metal body, that is the first thing that i loved at it, and also it has very good shooting quality, autofocus and flash and lots of photo options. The menu was one pretty common, nothing impressive, a little bit clumsy i may say. Ok. The first time i wanted to throw it out the window, was when i installed the software. I installed the drivers, software, but when i click on connect, after connecting the phone to the usb, TIMED OUT! At the same time, windows found the phone as a removable device, and worked exactly like a memory stick, not less or more. The transfer rate was good, 700 kbps aprox. After a few hours, I tried to listen to the mp3`s i have downloaded to the phone. At that point, I became frustrated. How can a phone, in 2007, NOT have the feature to use one single playlist. If you clear he`s original playlist, that`s it, u won`t be able to create one, or to add mp3`s to your player. If i want to listen to music from the microSD, I have to enter the My Stuff option, to go to the file, and to play it. The Options button in the left, is not to be found, when i click Play on any files. It just appears when i enter the mp3 player. So, my friend`s do not buy this phone, it is just a piece of garbage (hope u won`t deny my message for my extreme sincerety), honestly. As for the slow part, it`s just ok, sometimes the scroller is kinda sloppy, but it works out just fine. Shame on u LG. !

  • this phone is beautiful i love it too bits but every couple months it start to freeze the network goes it starts to switch of and on itself scrolling becomes difficult as the fone does these random things...

  • Does anyone have AT&T/Cingular and has been able to use the LG KE970 Shine? I noticed that AT&T/Cingular only has the CU720 phone so this has me concerned. Any responses are appreciated, thanks!

  • The scroller is not slow it just over shoots sometimes... the phone itself isnt slow at all... i dont know what people expect out of a phone but this phone is normal speed as any other phone... it rings decently loud, again its not a pda or anything so its not going to ring like your house alarm clock... i can hear my phone ring in the pool hall with everyone talking and the music in the background and all that...

  • i'm thinkin of gettin this fone but lots of comments hav sed its slow and isnt loud when it rings. also i hav heard the scrollers really bad. can sumone tell me if this stuff is true xoxox

  • How do you lock a text message you want to save? How do you attach a picture image to a contact number?

  • I read someone asked about which shine to get.. the difference between the LG KE970 and the LG CU720 is that the cu720 is an at&t specific phone, it will have the at&t logos and opening ceremony and the outside butting is a tilt button verses a scroller... the LG KE970 is a world phone (unlocked) and can be used with any gsm provider via simcard... other than that it is the same phone... if you have a at&t sim and dont mind all the at&t logos and opening then go for the cu720... otherwise KE970 FTW

  • thank you Megan, i will keep trying to find out. if you find something please contact me by mail. thanks

  • Just bought this phone outright two days ago. So far the phone is pretty good. Functions are good, ringtones are fine, I was able to transfer music from PC to phone using cable. Screen is big and colours are good. The only downside is yes, the scrolling thing. With texting, it's big and clear, but I find that the keypads look like it's gonna break off, if I text too much. I'm a texter.. and I bought this phone for the big screena and keypads.. It's certainly a stylish phone.

  • I've had this phone for about 2 months now, but when I try to check my voicemail and enter my password the buttons I click don't work! Has anyone else had this problem / knows how to fix it? It is like if it says "please enter your password", and I enter it and it shows it on the screen, but it doesn't accept it.

  • I have had the phone for 3 days also, and have checked everything... i honnestly dont think its gonna get any louder.... But if there is a way, id like to know too, but i dont think its going to. Sorry...

  • can you help me pls... how can i make my phone sound louder for the ring tones. i bought this phone 3 days ago and i can't find out how to do this. thank you in advance

  • I've been having the Shine for about a month now, and I'm still more than satisfied with it. the only downsides of it are the fact that it hasn't got an automatic flash an that it can't show videos fullscreen.

  • I like to buy this phone. looks great the best design i see. and i will buy...

  • Hi guys just need an opinion on which is the better buy between the LG KE970 shine and the LG KU970 shine. Very confused here, help would be appreciated!!!

  • The LG Shine is a nice phone x3 For people who want their Msg tone as a an mp3 song: 1. Change profile to customise 2. Go to the message tone and select ur uf older with all your mp3 tones

  • I got the Lg Shine 2 days ago, i heard that alot of reviews displayed a negative response and i was a bit dissapointed that the Shine froze after the first day. But if anyone else has this prblm , just take the battery out. It should go back to normal. All in all, the Lg Shine is pretty good

  • I am getting the LG shine tomorrow but am worrying because some of the comments are not very good. Do you think it is still worth getting?

  • thought of buying this phone for a long time,but after lookin at all the comments,n d fact that the themes cannot be changed,no i won't get it.got attracted by it's looks but i guess there are many problems with it.

  • With this phone, you need to explore, just explore the phone. I got the LG about a week ago, and i've no problems what so ever. To get the tones off, go to menu, profiles, ggeneral, personalise and then you'r rocking.

  • I have this phone and I love it so much! I haven't had any problems with it, and I think it's such a nice phone.It definitely stands out and I love the mirror! I have the different version though (LG TU720), soo... Anyways, I think it's a great phone based on the price and the accessories. It wasn't expensive and yet has nice features.

  • mp3 need on my way an hour to office , how's sound like ? any comments? thx

  • Worst Phone I ever had in my whole life, stypid software, Not recomended at all

  • does anyone know how to make full screen on video calling? i dont want that menu bar at the bottom. plz post

  • dis phone rawwwwkkkksssss!! it's design is way up higher than the price..love it.

  • DONT! by the LG shine its the worst phone ever made! 2/10 the speaker phone is useless its so quite you cant use it as a mp3 player. it doesnt support wma files, you cant watch videos in full screen, it gets scracthed so easily, fingerprint magnet, the display is poor quality, its heavy, the camera zoom is useless it cant zoom much, if you got lots of stuff on it it gets very very slow, i had 200 tracks and it took 18 minutes to load. Trust me! you rather buy the nokia 6120 classic which is way better.

  • The U.S. AT&T version (CU720) and the Canada Rogers version (TU720) have replaced the roller navigation with the joystick/scrollwhell due to complaints with the original roller. The newer navigation is a small circle that spins 360 degrees. Also, they made a bit more space for the Call, clear, and end buttom for more space. Both of the North American versions have HSDPA and include microSD card slots, but only the Canada-Rogers version supports Video Calling.

  • well i got mine and i cant change the messsage tone to anything that i want, all i hav are these 4 crappy ones, but i noticed that on someone elses LG shine phone that they can change their msg tone, by going into "customise" my phone does not have customise, QUESTION: can anyone answer please ? does anyone know how to change this, please ? this is really annoying and anyone that can help i thank you, please post if you can help. thanks so much . !

  • Well i must say after all the post ive read... i was very much disappointed by the fact that there are people who didnt like the shine. i got the shine in gold for my girlfriend and its working wonderfully. Aside from the message tone being a non mp3 tone, and watching video clips in no full screen mode, the phone is great! and even a better gift for girls guys.

  • If you use it for imageing, and as camera, buy Olympus or Sony cybershot, yet some people use cell phones for business purposes (talking, messageing, document's) I have one and it's GREAT!!

  • I've had this phone for a little bit and because I'm using it in the US. I can't get the extra features like 'browser' or even mms. which kinda blows so if you want it in the US, its just a flash phone but i dont know how to get the other features to work if they even do in the US. It's still nice to show off though ;]!

  • Hey do any of you know, that if i put a SD card in if i'll be able to save more texts then just 300?? pleas tell me xx

  • Hey! Got a question: some people complain about the scratches on the back. does this problem exist by the titanium-black-version too? Becouse I guess, most of these opinions are for the silver-version greetz from austria

  • Hi I have got 730LG phone.Everything is ok but i can't send msg from this phon to othe phone

  • I was given one of these when it first came out and it was clearly designed with women in mind and I sold it a few days later. Ignoring the above I think the design is almost perfect, very clever and easy operation, good heavy feel and build qualtity to match. I was so impressed I waited for diffrent versions to come out and have just got the Titainum version and pleased to report that this version is for blokes. Hence the advert on TV women with silver, bloke with black. And a bargain, �69.00 for a new one off eBay. Bargains can still be found.

  • Hello from Croatia! I like this phone. When i saw it, it was the love at first sight. I heard that LGs are bad quality phones and so I bought a Samsung U600 and it was the best phone for me but I lost it... :( Now I want this shine and I have only one question; Can you put a password on messages?

  • well,i'm still considering of buying this phone but when i look at the design and function it is totally my taste and it's really sexy.....my friend used it, besides the battery is not really can stand longer, other is quite good especially the camera. wow!i really impress with this phone's camera function. really nice capture^_^

  • GSM is also a very useful research tool for opinions on handsets before you buy. I always check with GSM before buying a phone, read reviews and use the compare and above all use your sense.

  • if u want a good fone with lots of awsome features this is not the fone to buy i already regret buying this fone... all that's good about it is the camera and the appearance that's about it... these are the facts that i dont like about it.... u cant find any softwares off the internet, speakers are not loud as it should be, files must be in a correct location or else u cant play ur file, short battery life, no zoom in on the camera not all picture sizes can be used for wall paper, no cuztomizable theme, mp3's cannot be played if stored inside the memmory card, cannot make a playlist for songs, uncuztomizable ringtones for msgs and alarm and more...

  • Wow... this phone is SO awesome! it has a 5 mp camera! the quality is so amazing! It has a scroll bar, i can use it instead of my mirror, it has email so i can email all my friends and its so quick! And the GPS is quick and simple to use and doesn't lag at all! Go buy this phone now!

  • my lg phone is really bad i had had it for about 2 week when it broke and the slidy part neally came off but it looks sick

  • The cellular market in mexico ME970 complies with the same characteristics that this model ...?

  • I has 2gb external memory in my LG shine, and put all my music in MP3 folder, but how can I create a playlist for it? Because I could only listen manually by press next everytime the song ended.

  • i know a cure for the fingerprints you can just buy a clear case from www.ebay.co.uk or (online from any website) If all of you out there struggle to keep your lg shine from scratching.

  • this phone.....is the best design ever when ppl c it they go crazy and they're like this is the best design.....but the battery dies to early....i like this phone except for that it gets scratched to easy so...... that is my opinion

  • kays we'll , i REALLY love this phone ! and all the people whove been commmenting did you peeps buy yoru phone in the net ? cause if you did then maybe thats prob whyy ... it has some few problems.. but other than that, the mall i go to has the phone in the stores. and im thinking of buying it, thoo i dont know how much it cost.. does anyone know ? and ish the volume reallyyy low.. causeee i i likeee loud phones =\... ALSOO. how small ish the keeeey pad ?

  • Emma: It always freezes when I open a video.. its anoying because I must get off the battery and restart it, also the procesor is slow installing java app's, I'm sure in my past sony ericsson's was faster.. The sound quality is medium.. you can't put the highest volume because it sounds distorted and noisy. My suggestion: buy it if you like the apperience more than another thing(functions,performance,etc) and if u like to see yourself in the mirror..buy if i qualify it I give a 75/100 in general. thats it, sorry about my english im mexican =]

  • airport does it freeze and do you think i should buy it reply back;)

  • I have 3 months with my SHINE. -Slide mechanism is perfect. -Battery Life is poor (3 days max) -It HAVEN'T themes, so u CANT install any theme -With a 2GB card, the Mp3 player get so slow.. i have to wait like 15 or 20 seconds while it load the song list =/ -Sometimes when I try to open videos, it laggs and I need to get off the battery and restart it because doesnt respond.. The design is really nice, but the functions not! I'm thinking to sell it, and get back to Sony Ericsson as usually, they're superior quality, I want a P1. Any question,reply here..

  • hey does the slide mechanism stop working after a few months? and Thanks.

  • I have had the Shine for 3 weeks now. Great phone, LG is coming along. To transfer your files, you have to place them into a folder called MP3. Just drag and drop. Same goes for pictures as well. The speaker phone is sub-par. But for all of its shortcomings, its a solid handset. You have to train the battery for the first few days by letting it completely drain. then you should get a pretty even drain on the battery.

  • i had a question....can you have video as your ringtones as you can do on sony ericsson k800

  • I like this phone because of look,its amazing,just I've heard that LG is crap....I'm thinking of buying it,so what do you suggest?

  • ive had in on trial for a week now deciding whether to keep it as my new upgrade. the phone itself is very stylish however the loud speaker is so quiet its almost non existent.camera not the best and visibility outside is a bit difficult.if LG can sort out the speaker problem it would be a great phone.and yes i was lead to believe it had a radio disappointed with that.

  • The screen keeps cracking or the scroll button would stick. Phone would be frozen then you would have to switch off and switch on again

  • how can i make the numbers without colors?

  • Bluetooth is your friend!

  • Just got it, I'm unable to download images and videos from other phones, does anyone know how to do this

  • Dn't buy this phone, it only looks good, the battery life is terrible, it takes long to run the applications, the speackers are very low, for the price it cost even the midrange nokias perform much better. LG phones only look good. I got this phone 1 month, but im selling it on e-bay. Nokia N73 it's the phone 4 me.

  • I have had mine for about 2 months and the screen has already stuffed out. i havnt droped it and i have had a cover on it. its gone completely black. I also cant access mms for some unknown reason. my opinion dont buy it, its a waste of time money and effort.

  • does the phone have themes ???

  • This is my first LG phone and the last.... being an I-mate user, I had the bulky Jasjar, I expected more, like word.doc files editing more flexibility of messaging better mp3 sound but I was disappointed Pros: Elegant, Robust, mp3 tones Cons: Poor functionality, battery life, applications, themes, memory, sound

  • hi, have had mine for a couple of days, ok so far, quite like it, only thing is i cant get the delivery reports to work even though its turned on.any ideas?

  • Hi, Only had mine for a couple of days but so far so good. The only thing is I do like to have a delivery report, have turned it on but not working, anyone else had this prob? Thanks Ann

  • don't buy it... looks great like all of LG phones but battery is very, VERY poor, reception is bad, lags a lot.

  • Can I use mp3 as ringtone and message tone for this phone?

  • please ppl do no buy extoicphones.com they are not very credible. find somewhere else to shop

  • I'm sick of mine. I hate the way you can only choose from four message tones, and everytime i try to change my ringtone to "Acappella Beatbox", it goes straight back to "Above The Sky", it is very frustraiting. To be honest i can't wait to get a new phone.

  • hey people, i just got this phone a couple of days ago, its safe to say that i love it, there are of course pros and cons with every phone on the market, the main one on this phone being the weak speaker used for when the phone rings or when you listen to the mp3, this i think is the only negative thing about the phone, the opinions on the mirrored screen that i have read from people saying that its impossible to see anything in daylight or outside, this simply isnt true, you can see the screen pretty well outside, probably 90% so that really isnt a problem and overall the phone in terms of how it looks is top notch, it stands out and you instantly feel how well built the phone is when you hold it in your hand, overall a very nice phone with good features and a good camera! hope ive helped! Alex

  • i am not happy with this phone i will be filing a complaint top head management

  • Stunning Phone when it comes to style i was not impressed by the S/W at all you can never use the phone mem to save you're contacts and keep different names on the sim card,now thats stupid,plus the ringing volume is sooo damn low u can barely hear it the keypad should be made from metal just like the LG KE770 but instead its made from plastic which feels cheap, i'm a sony ericsson fanatic,but i decided to change to LG Can't say i'm unhappy with the shine but i cant say i am

  • I am very dissappointed it rings softly & My CAMERA DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!! Whenever i try to take a pic. a green screen comes up & then the phone freezez

  • i love you so much!!! lg ke970...nat

  • pros -nice metal design -3d sound on mp3 -good foto quality -auto focus Cons -cannot receive call went sync -can't close camera application without slide open -sometime restart on it own -can't see the screen went u outdoor -cannot change the themes -sound quality suck

  • Very nice phone!!!I have a question:when we wil see the "titanium black" color on the market???

  • very nice fone, but have bad signal. Also you can't answer or hangup unless u slide the fone up right?

  • lg ke970 nice phone slim can fit any were only thing is that the speaker is to wick

  • is anybody having a problem with charging their shine? i just got mine and it won't work with the ac adapter, won't work with a car charger, it only charges when it is connected to a computer.

  • I've had my phone for a week now and I love it. It looks stunning and everyone comments on it. It's nice and slim so can fit it in my pocket easily unlike my last sony ericsson. I can get my mp3 files on it fine accept it cuts the song off after 3mins but I only use them as ring tones so it's not a problem for me. I like the font for the text messages and have been really impressed with the camera. I was going to keep hold of my sony ericsson to use as a camera but this camera beats the k800i hands down for picture quality. I havn't been very impressed with the battery life so far but I think it may be because the battery is new. The only glitch I have come across is when I am deleting read reports for text messages I have to press delete twice as the first time it cancels itself out and doesn't do anything. It's a pain to keep wiping the screen to keep it clean but I don't mind. Unfortunatly I've dropped it a few times but it's robust! The back has a gew tiny scratches on it but the screen doesn't have a mark on it, seems difficult to scratch. Overall I love it and wouldn't swap it. Texting takes a while to get used to cos of the flat buttons but once you get the hang of it it's easy. The build you can tell isn't as good as say a sony ericsson but as the phone is so good looking you can forgive it a few flaws!

  • looks good.. thats about the only good thing about it.. rest is real poor.. stick to the nokias

  • wicked phone very good lookin and i love the design and love the features it really did pick up after the lg chocolate. the lg chocolate was a beutiful phone but the features were terrible but this phone has brilliant features and looks it is also very slim

What a waste of $$$. Choice of rings is lousy. Looks is OK but one might aw well to buy a st.steel block and carry it!! This supposed to be a phone thou. LG = garbage

  • Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to save my text messages to external memory? The internal just isn't enough for my text messages. Please guide me through if this can be done. Thanks everyone.

  • I have had an LG shine now for about 8 months and am about to recieve my 3rd replacement handset. The key pad just keeps on refusing to work! I was at reading festival with my boyf who got lost and i couldnt contact him nor answer his calls!!!! I have been able to put my MP3s as a ring tone tho! I do find the default text tones poor and havent been able to change them. It does look fab, but have to be honest cant wait to change it!

  • the most luxrurious phone out there!it's look blows me away.and other things are fine to me.

  • well i have had it fro about 6 months... and i still love it...! it has great font. i also like...everything... the screeen is light is crap but if you simply put ut hand over it its fine! i used it in the sunnyest weither poible it was great

  • uhm i am really really interested in this phone but i am concern about a few things. so roughly the cons are: 1. cant see when under bright sun. 2. awful default tones as alarm and text tone. 3. scroll key in the middle is slow to respon. 4. must take estra care with it as it gets scratch easily. 5. after switched off, user must take out battery then put it back, only it will restart. 6. camera not that good, 2MP only. 7. poor mp3 quality. 8. must slide the phone to make or end call. (if select anykey answer then dont need when answer call.) 9. playlist aint working well. (must select a new song after the previous one ends.) any more? please reply! thanks alot. =) oh about the problem when a person call or text and you only see the number? yes yes? copy all your contacts to the phone memory then you can see the names. =) hope i helped.

  • is this phone loud ? and if u cant use ur mp3s as ring tones is there a way around that like when u unlock the w810 then u can use mp3s as ring tones any one can help i will be greatful thanks

  • I used this phone as a secondary phone for few month and I am not impressed at all. Shiny screen does not let you see well what's on it in a bright outdoor light and it is impossible to see anything if you are on the beach for example. I could not connect it and synchronize with my outlook and gave up after few hours of trying (software isn't user friendly for me). Scroll feature does not work well, it is or too fast or too slow, so it is hard to select the menu. It is true - mp3 cannot be used as a ring tone. Using contacts - I could not add more than one email or one mobile number to the contact and generally it has very limited information that you can store with the contact. And finally, after 2/3 month use, this glossy screen is now half black and I cant see a thing at all, so this phone is going back to the dealer for repair. Now I am looking for another phone.

  • i've bought this phone 3 days ago, it's a great phone, but i think it have a bug : when i used slide show feature to see my photos result in internal memory, this phone going restarted again and again until i unplugged the battery. and same thing happened too when i've decided to use external memory to saw my photos result. how could this happen to my phone?. I really appreciate if anybody can give answer. Thanks

  • does it have handsfree?

  • hei, i wanna buy this phone but i need some opinions from some shine owners . is it true that you can't set a mp3 as a ringtone for messages? is the scroll so ineficient? please answer at this email adress [email protected]

  • I have only to things aboute this phone i wanna say: 1) Nice deign and nice detail with the reflection in the screen 2) rest of the phone irretes me

  • video is not good quality but the camEra with 2 mp very profesional, even the mobile looks very rich and beutifull22

  • video is not good quality but the camara with 2 mp very profesional, even the mobile looks very rich and beutifull

  • video is not good quality

  • hi to all... i want to buy this set but some people are in favour of this cell phone but some are against so what i do please give me sincere idea...i am waiting for your answer but please mention at the start that "hi capricorn" so i will recongnize that it is mine...byeeeeeeeeee

  • I just got this phone a week ago, and I'm having some problems changing the ringtones. I don't know if it's a software glitch,but some of the mp3s won't work as ringtones. And also the "change group ringtone" doesn't work, instead, I have to go into the group and individually change each member. Can someone let me know if they're having the same problems thx! :)

  • the 3g handset is a KU970 not KE970

  • I bought this phone and i`m really proud of it,as here in Romania,it has 3G dialing, and the version i have allowes me to chose which mp3 i have as a sms ringtone. the pictures are great but the disadvatage is that it doesn`t have a flash. and about the price,i bought it just with 200 euros from the shop.

  • ladies & gent, pls don waste ur $ on tis phone, its really not worth it at all. the price is exp but functions are lousy than Nokia/s.erricson mid range phone. same thing, no mp3 music for message ringtone n navigation key is very very hard.

  • tis phone is really lousy. button hard and the worst thing is message ringtone cant be use by mp3 music, only can use the existing boring music inside

  • LG KE970 is an ordinary Shine phone, the LG KU970 is a 3G shine phone which means it has a camera at the front of the phone so you can video call and its better than KE970

  • i got my shinee a week ago, and my internal memory is full so i got a 1gb memory card and i dont know how to store stuff on it because when i try to record a video or take a pic or when someone tries to send me something the legend "theres no free space" comes out but my memory card is empty.. can anyone help me

  • i got my shinee a week ago, and my internal memory is full so i got a 1gb memory card and i dont know how to store stuff on it because when i try to record a video or take a pic or when someone tries to send me something the legend "theres no free space" comes out

  • the lg shine is a 3G handset - this info is incorrect

  • i'm not sure why some people say that the stand by time is 72 hours not 280.where did this rumour came from?

  • meera hi, talk less and give me productivity or else i will change ur seats today i want atleast 1 sale from ur side plz keep in ur mind. ok and even i should not hear any noise from ur side make sure or else i will make u log out and mark absent 4 the day. take care

  • for nitin always use cap with isi mark

  • harry hi, hru do u have any refrences plz foward me through this ok. take care byeeeeee C

  • the LG KE970 has a memory card slot and the other does not

  • do not buy it. this is the worst phone i've ever used! the keys are impossible to press and the scroll is so hard to use. if you're a guy, don't buy it, you'll scratch and break it within a few days!

  • there are shine phone 1 and 2 in korea so...may be that's the difference...nah.. still they make lots of kinds...even sonny.. but i like LG mostly as they got bigger screen,... and i'm not sure about the magic key pad phone..that's most recent and very expensive phone... and got reallycool stuffz

  • i just want to know what the difference is between this LG shine and the KU970 shine!!

  • Yes you can as long as you have Answer Mode set to 'Any key'. When receiving a call you just press the camera or mp3 button on the right hand side of the phone when the phone is closed.

  • hi, can any one of you shine users ploease tell me if you can answer the call without sliding the phone open. i know you can call without opening, but how do you answer calls

  • clearly this phone is a rip off. on the older model this phone doesnt even have a card slot! and they charge $700 for it, get real. and its not 3g, wth???!! my fone was $300 and has way better stuff on it. and plus this phone is bound to get scratched, its glassy, i mean look at it. AND u always have to have the slide up, because thats where the cancel button is. badly designed and poor fetures.

  • i got this phone i think its gd handy as a miror which a girl like me needs all the time only gutted coz i cnt change my message tone n i cnt eally hear the one dat is on :( bt overall its a ok phone.

  • This phone is rubbish! To start with it was really good but then after a month its just become a joke! It randomly turns its self off either after or during a call. The battery is really bad and runs out within about a day. It scratches too easily. Dont get this phone. I WARN YOU!

  • Hi, i've a simple question to all the Shine's user. Can we answer call when the phone is charging? Or when the phone USB is plugged to PC? Thx in advance.

  • What extension it works on this phone, for video?

  • Man what a phone. I'm using a n95 but this phone will crush down every 2mpx phones. It shines like moon. Honestly this phon looks better then 8600 and it has a micro sd card slot. If any user want 2 change this phone with my n95 then mail me . Plz

  • Finally LG's phones really looks good. I just don't like the menu control button, becouse they are really hard to use. And i don't know how easily that shiny screen will scratch.

  • Beautiful phone

  • beautiful

  • this shine has the same problems has the prada . nothing changes .

  • hey steve thanx for the good laugh you gave my co worker and me. next time, you might try to turn the card over instead of just forcing it in.

  • Mobile phone of the year hahahahaha, you mean that it's the best in having problems... hahaha

  • great phone. my frist phone was LG and I love LG since then. i might get a lg prada phone

  • Hi I dont know with ya people but i simple love my ke 970. But- i have this problem with it, that when i her songs or watch videos the sound volume is quite low, and that is when it is on max. sound. If any one now anything about it, than Please help me....

  • this phone is a waste of money, go for SE phones.. bought it, used 1 day and went back to SE. lost some money of course.. the only good thing about this phone is its metal style.

  • After only 3 months, the phone suddenly developed an assortment of annoying software problems this weekend. I'm lucky I have insurance so I can get a replacement in 24 hours. The phone suddenly switches off without warning several times a day; using the alarm clock or calendar results in a screen freeze; phone won't turn back on after being turned off unless you take the battery out and then replace it; and various other functions also result in the frozen screen. Fingers crossed that they are not all lemons, as I really liked the phone until it let me down.

  • mobile of the year great n fantastic

  • www.lgmobile.com

  • Hi...I have lost my installation cd for lg shine and i jus wondered if anybody knew if i could download it from anywhere.

  • The phone itself has no problem. But if you're a rough user, you may want to consider a tougher phone, such as Moto or Nokia. if u insist to use this LG Shine, but complaining the hardware such as poor scroll bar etc, then it'll be too bad. This model is more to a fashion/trendy phone.

  • Hello, I have problem change ringtone. I change ringtone in profile and i change ringtone to contacts, (group too), but phone ringing always "Above the Sky"... please help me.. thanx as

  • this phone looks stunning but not sur about the battery

  • i have just seen this LG Shine Titanium (coming soon) The LG Shine has dumped her shiny mirrored finish in favour of 'Titanium Black'. The Shine is a stunning-looking slider phone with a 2.2 inch display and a multi-function scroll wheel, making menu navigation simple and easy. It has a 2 megapixel camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach lens (they�re very good, apparently) that helps ensure perfect results, every time. Photos have a resolution of up to 1600x1200 pixels and the camera has autofocus, flash, zoom, continuous shoot and video record/playback. There's 70 MB of internal memory and should you need more it can be expanded using a standard microSD memory card. Other features include a good MP3 player, web browser and stereo Bluetooth. I think i'll wait till this comes out and i'll se what the differences are.

  • Thunder, The settings for MMS will be something your network provider can give to you. Either check their website or you can give them a call on their customer services number and they should be able to send through the settings to your phone. If the settings don't then work, then it's probably a case of your phone needing a software upgrade to be able to handle them.

  • i got my shine about 3 wks ago i have only just found out i cant send or receive any picture messages and there is no web site that can help me download the settings to my phone does any one else have this problem and do you know of a site i can try

  • If you had an early Shine... sorry! They were prone to scroll bar problems and a few software issues such as bluetooth issues or inability to use MMS settings properly. It seems that since the first batch went out these issues have been resolved though, making this a decent fashion handset. The features are decent, the looks are good, and it appears to be much more reliable than the horrid Chocolate was.

  • had this phone for a few weeks now and its awesome. i dont know what all the complains are about. the signal is fine, it has more to do with your provider than your phone. im having no problems with the scroll bar either. the only issues with the phone is the ring volume is too low because there are no external speakers, and also it scratches very easily.

  • I tried to put a Micro SD in the phone for files storage. Then the SD card stuck in the middle and i can't take it out and can't close the metal case. At the end i need to force it out and the SD card is broken.

  • was just wondering if anybody new if the LG KE970 was able to have themes on it?... as i am not sure!

  • ok people its a simple software problem which means sent it away for repair and get the software refreshed it solves all of your problems! and the newer shines do not have faults as they run with new software tada instant fix!

  • i hav the LG shine hav no problems wot so ever and i bot it on ebay nd its unlocked so screw all u other wiredos who think its crap goes ur oh so very wrong!!

  • ha ha ha! one does not have the phone, has the problem on the phone. how ironic!!!

  • Absolute rubbish. Phone stopped working after a month and would not stop vibrating, displayed screwed up. Brought to LG repair, which was even more outrageous - claimed water damage and mold growth and would not fix under warranty. Had outside expert take apart phone; no traces of any water damage or mold at all. All in all, garbage phone, irresponsible customer service, warranty is a joke. Considering legal action against LG to repurchase or fix this lemon. DO NOT BUY - HEADACHES GALORE.

  • i luv my lg shine i rox an i luv the mirror perfect for duin my make up

  • i bought this phone and i have only had problems with it since. when texting the buttons freeze, the scroll pad is far too sensitive and the battery is shocking. I have to constantly keep mine in power save mode for it to last me the day. DON'T BUY

  • i had this phone for a while and the phone begone whit no reason to stop working, its crap please dont buy it, it looks good at the outside but the software is rubbisch.my friends have me warned about the problems whit this phone but i didnt listend.

  • it looks like a really cool phone to have i would love have one.............

  • i just bought this phone about a month and a half ago when i first saw it in the internet and it looks very good. recently i just closed the slider and the screen creacked which means it have to be sent to the workshop anybody thinking of buying reconsider

  • p.s if you have your phone on silent during the night (makes sense right?) then the alarm will go off but... it will be in silent too!!!! Wow! Who ever thought of that was a genius!! (Sorry boss I was late for work this morning because...)

  • This phone is awful! Yes it looks great but you can't see a thing when outside in daylight, the signal is RUBBISH (I work in central london & struggle to get reception!). The keypad is so un-user friendly it drives me insane - & I have small fingers! I pity any one with the phone who hasn't! (especially when composing texts and always accidently knocking the cancel key... grrr). The scroll bar is overly senstive meaning more often than not it'll take you a good few attempts to get where you actually want to go. When outside it's impossible to hear what anyone on the other end of the line is saying to you, even if it's just a small breeze blowing. The battery is terrible... if you use your phone a lot you'll be lucky to have any juice left at the end of the day, I have to make sure I charge every single evening otherwise it will die. All in all the phone is crap, I wish I wish I wish I wasn't tied into an 18 month contract, try before you buy would be a great option for phones! Am NOT impressed.

  • had the shine since early may this year now gone into repair . this mobile has a great deal of problems . think first before you buy this .

  • well, i bought it a week ago ,Design is very good and it's heavy ,weights almost half a kilo :P, the battery sucks it doesn�t even stay 24h with me though i don�t talk much . but in the end i am happy with it but i don�t know for how long

  • crap phone,ring tones suck,not loud enough.Had it a week scratches like a bastard.Whish i'd stuck to nokia. $700 down the drain!!! Only any good if ur under25, a girl and want to show ur new phone off at a rave.

  • this phone has good design but scrach too easy and mp3 isnt loud unless u plug in earphone .. cant change message tone nor color themes.. i give it a 8/10 =)

  • I ordered it a day ago and now reading ur msgs makes me depressed, it cant possibly be THAT bad...damn u ppl :D

  • nice looking phone but its rubbish i have had it 3 months - cannot change message tone - tones dont always sound handsfree is to quiet & now the scroll dont work you try txting withouth the scroll it takes ages wish i went for the u6 now

  • I've had this phone for about a month. Its one of these phones everybody wants to have a look at, as they all seem to have D900's. Camera and screen is really good. Good weight to it. Only problem I have is that if you have problems with breaking D900/ E900 screens then this is no different as mine shattered. �45 to repair from c phonewarehouse, but have seen these screens for about �20 on the bay with tools. You can only use the original message tones for text messages sadly. When watching any 3g vid it won't enlarge to the size of the scrren which is a bit annoying. Mp3 player option only works with music stored on the phone and not from a sd card. To be honest, great phone but this month i am getting annoyed with screens breaking on most of my phones. Hopfully somebody can make a good flip phone so i don't have to keep replacing screens. Also, if you have a samsung, do not send it back to their repair centre as they are the worst people and most horible people i have ever come across. according to them an 11 day old phone is out of warenty?

  • I got this phone and this phone is the BEST I HAVE SEEN AND USED.... If you are even thinking to buy this phone, don't hesitate and buy it now!!!!! This phone has a 100% perfect design and this phone has all the features a person could need in 2007~ I don't know how many people are getting errors on their LG Shine, but I haven't got any and I probably won't.... My LG Shine is everything I wanted.... THANK YOU LG!!!!!!!

  • ver good and a nice phone

  • Not too bad. Reliability is a bit on the naff side, though. Looks nice, and has the most awesome feeling slider mechanism I've used on a phone. At the company I work for (online phone dealership), I once had a person try and return this phone on the basis that it was "too shiny". Comedy!

  • I bought LG SHINE KE 970. There is no doubt it looks great but i found the problem mentioned below. If any of my friend wanna buy this mobile then read carefully. 1. Your phone will be switched off while connected with computer. 2. Battery life is too short. 3. You can't install the themes 4. You can't use equlizer for the songs stored in memory card. Its only available for the songs stored in phone memory. 5. Camera Flash light is not stronger enough 6. Speaker's voice is dead low. 7. You cant lock any application 8. Your can't play 3gp videos you may copy to your mobile even it is 3gp sported phone. This is very strange. 9. T here is only one point to use for charging,headphone,usb cable. You can do only one job in one time. 10. If you need flash light to take photo then you can on flash from menu but it will remain on all the time unless you off it manually.Consumes large amount of battery. 11. Cover replacement is almost impossible. 12. You cant minimize mp3 player while playing songs to use other applications (for the songs playing from memory card) You can minimize mp3 player while playing the songs stored in phone memory. Any help or inquire send me mail at [email protected] Well if there will be more i ll let you know all. Best wishes Sameer

  • Looks nice! Thats all! Had first one for 2 weeks before the keys started to freeze whilst texting. Had a replacement and a month later lo and behold the same thing happened but it also switched off when i slid it shut! Sent it to Phones 4 U-seless to repair and it came back fixed but with some new faults! It now doesn't ring out when a call or message is received and when using it to make a call i can't hear the person on the other end of the line. It is still on-going as P's 4 U won't sort out the problem and are fobbing me off. In short stay away form this useless cheap ornamemt and P's 4 U are ok when they are getting their money out of you but after sales care is disgusting!!

  • Hi, people who bought SHINE and are struggling w/ how to ZOOM whey u're taking photos!!!! u see the volume key on the right handside just next to the USB cable? w/ volume key you can ZOOM!!!! yay!!! = )

  • Nice looking phone, but in short it's a crap phone. doesn't worth your money.

  • I just bought this phone,it was a nice phone.but,is someone know about the metal casing was an scrath reisitant or not?because my phone had a scrath in the left near the LCD.may i change the metal casing?thanks

  • Ok, i was reading some comments on this phone, and most people said it wasn't worth the money, too many problems with it. Well i was wanting to get the LG KE770 Shine, but I'm worried about getting it thinking it might have some of the same problems. I dont want to pay for a phone and be stuck with it for 18 months and it suck. does any1 know if the LG KE770 Shine has the same problem, or other problems?

  • many people have said about problems with the signal, the signal is to do with the network not the phone manufacturer, these are two totally different things. i agree you can get crap signal, but with most phones now you can alter this by searching for a local network on the phone. i do this whenever i really need to make a call. i never have problems because i can do this, and i live in a rural area between 2 valleys!!!! hope this helped some of you!

  • I love this phone to pieces but I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm in Australia and it seems that I can choose between having the persons name display when calling OR when texting - I can't seem to have both. The reason being, when an SMS arrives the number comes up with a +61 in front of it, however when a person calls their number comes up without the +61. I'd much rather have the persons name appear when calling but would really like to see who's sending me texts too! Anyway around this? Cheers!

  • ya, maybe my lg shine is different. i am from indonesian by the way, so i bought the phone here and my lg shine has an external memory card slot but not 3g. maybe you right, its different and there is nothing i can do to put any game to my phone. but thanks anyway ..
