 Red LG Shine April 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this Red LG Shine phone through AT&T when I had an available upgrade. So I only paid $39.99 for the phone, great price for such an awesome phone.
First off, I would like to say that I love the fact that the camera has a flash!! Love this feature. When shooting in camera mode, the screen turns to landscape view and almost appears to be a digital camera. In the camera mode, there is also a feature that allows you to make animated GIFs with the pictures you take, another neat little feature.
I also like the fact that the phone will lock the keys within a specified time limit, which you can set yourself, if you like.
The joystick is somewhat hard to get used to at first, unless you have had a previous phone with a joystick, it can be very touchy, almost lagging at times while I scroll through the menu's.
The phone also has a place for a MicroSD card, which is another great feature, the phone can almost be used as a digital player, having their own separate folders to organize music.
The phone does come with games such as: Diner Dash, Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man, Tetris and Midnight Bowling. All of which are demos and you must purchase the game to actually play more then 30 seconds.
The phone comes with several applications, all of course again you have to purchase a data bundle to even use. Applications include: InStyle Mobile Demo, MobiTV, Mobile Banking, Movies, My-Cast Weather and MySpace Mobile.
Overall, I would say that I love this phone and would recommend others to buy it. Hopefully, somehow my review and the pictures I posted will help someone. = )
Sleek, Smart, Convenient Device...for skinny fingers!! April 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I upgraded to this device last week and have been having a ball with it ever since!! The Pros: beautiful large screen, huge memmory, unbelievably clear digital camera (flash too) w/pic editor, very user-friendly, clear reception 100% of the time. Cons: middle button a little tricky to use, screen scratches easily so buy protectors, a case may be hard to find for it, keypad difficult for a text-er with fat fingers. Overall this phone is great for someone who likes a lot of ammneties (text, mp3, camera, web-browsing, etc.) but doesn't want anything too complicated. The RED SHINE is super sexy too!! You won't be sorry!!
 A smart looking cell phone with good features. March 7, 2008

I upgraded to this phone nearly 2 months ago, and overall I like it a lot. I have not taken advantage of all the features on this phone, so I will only talk about the things I have experience with: cell-phone quality, camera, and audio/video player ability. There is a silver version available, but I was more partial to red.
First off, the cell phone is sleek and smart looking. The not-too-slim profile fits easily in any standard shirt or pant pocket. The 2.2 inch screen is very generous for a cell phone, and is easier on the eyes when watching videos, surfing the web, etc. You can receive calls without having to open the phone and thankfully the audio quality of the calls is very good.
The 2 mega-pixel camera is good for a cell phone. The pictures taken are crisp and lack the fuzziness that some other cell-phone cameras have. The zoom is not all that great, but certainly it is better than having none. However, when taking pictures, you cannot zoom in when your resolution is set to the highest setting. You can also take pictures on the fly without having to open the phone to access the camera. Good enough for still photographs, but pretty useless for anything fast. Pretty much what I would expect from a cell phone.
I am not that impressed with the video-capturing option, though you can use zoom during filming. My old cell phone was not able to do that.
I am very happy with both the audio/video player functions. With a 4 gig microsd card, you can play a lot of music or videos on the shine with little noticeable skip between different songs/videos. With the ear-buds, music is surprisingly crisp and clear. This can function as a good audio player. You can create folders on the microsd card, which can be similar to playlists.
The video quality was clear in the small portrait view, but suffers in quality when the larger landscape view is used. Although, it is not so bad that you cannot tell what you are looking at. For me, the landscape view quality was adequate (not good or great).
However, what is great is that if you find a good converter for the .gpp video file extension, you can play full length movies fairly well. You can find a .gpp converter for free on the internet.
The skip forward function is useful because it speeds after a little while (good for long video files), but takes some time to get used to because of the joystick navigation.
And speaking of the joystick navigation, it does take time to become proficient in it. But it does not detract from using the phone at all.
There are two negative things about this phone that I want to mention which prevent me from giving it 5 stars:
I can see how this phone would not be a good text-messenger phone, since the keys seem a little squished and can be difficult for people with big fingers.
While I like this feature a lot, it can be argued that the landscape video quality is poor.
I wanted a phone that could play music and videos, have expandable storage capacity, and looks good. The LG Shine fits the bill very well.
