LG CU720 Shine Mobile Phone Review: Powered by ConsumerGuide and HowStuffWorks
Very stylish design, multi-angle LCD, excellent camera optics, AT&T Video Share...Battery life, ergonomics...Though it comes in a few colors and projects a lot of features, the LG CU720 Shine's moniker is fully earned with the brushed metal model...To begin with, the Shine features a 2-1/4-inch LCD...If you're a bigger fan of radio, the Shine offers connectivity...

The LG Shine CU720 is a very attractive slider handset with 3G support, a nice array of multimedia features, and good call quality....The LG Shine CU720 has a tiny and very sensitive navigation joystick, plus a flat and crowded keypad....One of LG's star handsets this year was definitely the LG Shine, which debuted earlier in the year to quite a...

LG’s new Tri-band slider phone is called the Shine KE970, but I’m going to call it the Shine from here on in...The first thing I noted about the Shine was that it was well named...The Shine is no exception and I found myself constantly trying to keep it clean...There’s no ridge to grab hold of when sliding the Shine open and closed, so I was...

LG Optimus Black - Shining Black (Updated!) - HardwareZone.com
Light and slim...Poor handling, tends to slip from grip...One thing's for sure, it has no relation to the iconic leader of the Transformers' heroic Autobots...Its body encased mostly in plastic, felt flimsy and cheap overall...As such, the Optimus Black also adds a few bells and whistles to its repertoire......

Review: LG Shine (AT&T) multimedia slider
Very shiny metal...Ooh, I can see my reflection!...Cramped design makes dialing, messaging and even navigating menus difficult...Call quality should have...We were a bit surprised by how poorly the LG Shine tested in our review, especially because we liked the LG VX8700 enough to recommend it to family members...We would like to see this phone revamped, as we like the Shine...

LG Shine KE970 'Titanium' mobile phone - PC Advisor
It's no surprise, then, that the company's second handset in its Black Label series, the LG Shine KE970, is designed purely for the posers among us...But, given that the LG Shine KE970's lone stand-out feature is a 2.2in display that doubles as a mirror, this is perhaps one fashion accessory that should never leave the catwalk...However, the LG Shine...
