The LG shine phone is a good lower level phone. It is very easy to use and feel comfortable to use for a beginner. the phone is very easy to learn how to use all the basics of it. I'm still playing around and finding little things on it. The camera takes good pictures. I just wish that it would zoom in better for closer pictures. I'm still trying to figure out all the features like cropping and enlarge the picture. I is somewhat frustrating to figure it out. Some of the negitives is the smaller touch pad. I don't text so it isn't a problem for me in that area. I just have problems hitting to wrong...
