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. Of course, we have higher expectations since that phone was released, especially when it comes to multimedia features and 3G services, but the LG Shine just didn't succeed in the area where it counts: calling. Sound quality wasn't great, and dialing was a pain thanks to the cramped keys. We would like to see this phone revamped, as we like the Shine family style, with taller keys, better sound quality and maybe some new multimedia features thrown in. Release: January 2008. Price: $100.
Pros: Very shiny metal. Ooh, I can see my reflection!
Cons: Cramped design makes dialing, messaging and even navigating menus difficult. Call quality should have been better, just like everything else on this phone.
