LG Shine KE970 Mobile Phone Review

“Bling bling” is the way a lot of things are going and mobile phones are no exception. LG became something of a fashion phone maker with the “Chocolate” range of handsets and it has continued this trend with the Shine. The KE970 is a slider and it is very slim at a 13.8mm, although it measures 99.8mm tall and 50.6mm wide. It weighs 118g and most of this weigh is because of its metal exterior. If feels very solid, although the grey plastic release button for the rear cover looks out of place and should at least have been chromed. The 2.2-inch, 240×320 screen is behind a glass cover and it can display 262,000 colours.

..Overall the LG KE970 Shine is a decent handset, but considering its rather high asking price, we expected more. It is definitely a phone for the fashion conscious or those that wants style over function, but this does not mean it is useless. It takes a while to get used to the scroll key and there are some minor oversights, but it is one of the more feature rich fashion phones on the market.
