Home / Cell phones / Multimedia phones Ultra-slim LG Shine slides into AT&T's portfolio By Sindre Lia, 26 November 2007 GALLERY Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge The name may say it all, but does the LG Shine have anything to offer beyond its thin and stylish look? LG and AT&T's new Shine arrived in stores on Black Friday, featuring a sliding form factor and a silver exterior. In our upcoming review of the stylish and ultra-slim Shine, we're eager to find out whether its 2.2" QVGA screen with 262K colors lives up to the phone's name. Other notable features include a 2-Megapixel camera (unfortunately without autofocus, a must-have), as well as support for over-the-air Napster downloads. Measuring 3.9 x 2 x 0.6 inches and weighing 4.23 ounces, the LG Shine is among the thinnest phones available. However, LG claims a talk time of only 3 hours, making the Shine more about looks than anything else, despite its microSD slot that supports 4GB cards and a music player supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ file formats. Operating on AT&T's GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA network, the LG Shine is available now through AT&T stores for $150 with a two-year contract and a $50 mail-in rebate.
