As a busy on the road user this phone is handy.  It connects/reconnects to bluetooth with ease. The camera is amazing and in the standard position (horizontal). The key pad is large and easy to navigate and the options are amazing!  The only drawback is the accessories aren't standard and that the... review »

Pros- solid build, 3G, intuitive interface, decent call quality, nice camera for a phone

Cons- low ringer volume, Can't use full length mp3's as ringtones, will randomly power itself off.

I have a mixed opinion of this phone.  It looks decent enough, but the screen gets scratched very easily.  I am forever missing phone calls because even on the highest setting, you can never hear it.  I do like the quality of the camera and the screen, but I have an 11 month old and the delay on the camera always causes me to miss good photo opportunities and all I end up with is a blurred photo.

Ok ok, I know the Iphone is new big deal in cellular phones these days.  But consider this:  For a person that doesn't need or want the huge phone bill (because you HAVE to get internet service with the Iphone), the LG Shine is a great choice.  

I usually get the free phone or the cheapest one when I sign up for a cel phone account.  To me, a cel phone is for making calls and don't need much else.  But I saw the adds for the Shine and I really liked the style and the fact that the screen is amost a mirror.  A silly thing like a mirror is something awsome to have in a cel phone;...

I've had my LG Shine for about 6 months now and I really like it a lot.  We do not have a landline phone so my cell phone is used constantly.  I do not have a problem with the battery,  I only have to charge it every 2-3 days, although I do not use it for texting.  I like the way it looks, it feels comfortable in your hand, it is easy to navigate and has many great features.  The camera is nice, I like to be able to post the picture of the person to their phone number, downloading music is easy, as well as ringtones and I like to be able to set a different ringtone to different people so... review »

The LG Shine cell phone is a great, stylish phone and is functional too. I own one of the first models (LG VX8700) and the flip phone style really helps when holding the phone to the ear with the shoulder. Also the buttons are easy to use and have great seperations so less errors are made. The screen is amazing! The colors are bright and vivid, plus the camera and video recorder are high quality. When I uploaded photos to my computer, they were equal to quality of a digital camera. The outside display with time and date are easy to read and convenient. This is a great phone for someone who needs... review »

LG Shine has replaced my MP3 player and combined 2 devices into one! 

 It includes Bluetooth, Video/Music player and the menu system is very easy to get around.

         I received this phone as a gift. I loved it at first, because it was so much more technical and up-to-date than my last one. After awhile the middle button gets stuck and continues scrolling without me even touching it. When typing a text message the over, back and send key are the same button. I can't even count how many times i wanted to move the curser over and it sent a msg in mid sentence.  The key pad is so small. I have small fingers and hands and I still hit numerous buttons at one time. A couple of times I would push the "messaging" button and it would take me to "shop...

Hello. This phone is not the best LG shine phone out there. It has alot o issues and I do not like it at all but have to put up with it til my next upgrade which is still a year from  now. It shuts off on its own constantly, also while talking to someone even when its charged up ever so often it will beep. It is hard to send voice messages fast and just the controls on the phone are not set up easy to get to. The sound doesnt adjust high enough for the speaker phone part and no way while using the voice message part to get the sound up higher. Its just not set up too good at all, The keys are...

Ive had the Lg Shine since January when it first made its appearance. I paid 200 bucks for it back then. Had i known what it was like i wouldve waited until now to get it for 50. The phone works well and the layout and options are nice. It plays mp3s and all. Its a little complicated to put them on the phone and requires a memory card to do so. You have to be careful when you slide it open so you dont press down on the lcd screen. if you do itll cause a little dip in the screen. and this little recess will cause it to scratch the back of the screen where the bottom and top halves slide together.... review »

 The LG Shine phone was an okay buy. If I had the option I would not buy this phone again. When I first bought this phone I reaslly liked the phone. However after trying several times to increase the volume it wouldn't go pass a certain level. This level was way to low. They need to upgrade the volume so that it can get a little lower. Also to manever on this phone can be diffcult. My children enjoy the fact that they can watch pre-recorded snip-it of programs. However when the saleman was selling the phone he stated that we would be able to watch tv. He didn't say it would cost an additional...

The phone is absolutely beautiful, but it isn't as practical as you would think for the price.  I am an avid texter, and was quite disappointed to find out how difficult it is to text with this phone.  The keypad is way too small, and there is not enough separation between the keys.  I also found that sometimes when I pressed say 6 three times for an O, an N or a 6 would show up on the screen.  The navigator key is very difficult to use, and causes me to send premature texts all the time.  It seemed to be very sensitive sometimes and not at all sensitive at others.  Also, it only holds...

I have owned my LG Shine cell phone from AT&T since October of 2008. This has been by far my best cell phone to date. It looks cool and slick and small enough to carry in purse, pocket, backpack. When the phone is not in use it has mirror look to it. This is a plus if your a young girl or women. There's so many things you can do on this phone. You can take pictures, it's bluetooth capable, play/download games, text message, IM messaging, many tools like calculator, calendar etc.. The only thing that I think would've made this phone the best ever is that the camera does not have zoom. So you can...

I purchased the Lg Shine for my husband and I and it's a great phone!  I did a little research on it first and it was the best phone for us.  There are alot of features.  You can do everything on it.  Email, IM, music etc.  The camera takes great pictures but has a small drawback-  It doesn't zoom in-  Anyway I love this phone!  The joystick is a little hard to get use to because it's extremely touch but after awhile it isn't a problem.  The ONLY thing I wish was that it was louder, other then that it's a great phone for people who don't need a touch screen or anything super fancy!
