Price:
Having finally gotten fed up with lugging my Imate PDA 2K around. waiting for the Iphone to show up and paying a LOT for a big, bulky NOKIA i went for a LG Shine.
The phone itself is a looker, take it out and you got people looking at you enviously. brushed stainless steel body is scratch resistant, the camera is good (the video sucks though), the sound is lousy,and the slide has a habit of switching the phone off since LG has for some unknown reason put the power button right in it's path.
I like this phones ability to carry around my word docs, my powerpoint docs and it's own particular brand of style. LG includes a 1 Giga Micro SD and its got 90 Mb on board which is nice. It plays MP3's and 3GP videos. I wish LG had included the option to switch to landscape view for videos (u can with pics) and had actually given it a better speaker.
In a nutshell ?... get this phone if u're looking for a stylish, NON video conferencing, NON mainstream phone, BUDGET phone.
Don't get it if this is one you wanna hang on to for longer than a yr. Its dated already compared to the other offerings out there.
