LG Shine

The LG Shine is another feature packed handset from LG. It is covered in a metallic body, and has a smooth sliding spring loaded opening action. LG Shine is its gleam but of course that is exactly LG’s intention! The telephone feels like it’s of high quality and the battery cover of the telephone confirms this, as it is made of metal.

LG Shine KU970 is different from the KE970, featuring updated HSDPA (3G) connectivity over EDGE (2G) of the latter. On the other hand, LG seemed to deem it fit to remove some features too.

The KU970 does not have any flash expansion slots where the KE970 supported microSD cards. LG Shine is just 14mm thick, and weighs in at just 115g.

The LG KE970 incorporates an MP3 player with equalizer, a 2.0 mega pixel camera with auto focus and has expandable memory, compatible with the Mini SD card.

The phone has a wide mirror, 2.2-inches LCD screen, and supports GPRS and EDGE network compatibility, Bluetooth (with A2DP), and USB connectivity.

It packs applications like Yogasanas for the health-conscious, an E2E dictionary, and an email and document viewer.
