LG Shine KE970 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: February 2007. Updated June 2009.
Following on from the success of the Chocolate
phone, LG's next release in its "Black Label" series is
the Shine. Like the Chocolate, the LG Shine is a slide-design phone,
and is very much intended as a fashion statement. Whereas the Chocolate
was dark and mysterious, with its hidden touch sensitive keypad, the
Shine positively sparkles with light and has a more conventional keypad.
The reason for the name "Shine" is that the phone is highly
reflective, having a shiny stainless steel body and a large LCD display
that turns into a mirror when not in use. It's definitely a cool-looking
phone and one that will attract attention. The photo here doesn't do
it justice. Be aware though that the metal casing does have a tendency
to pick up fingerprints and scratches.
When in use the display lights up, dimming after a few seconds of inactivity.
Leave the phone for a little while longer and it miraculously turns
into a mirror - an effect that will have you watching with anticipation
for at least the first week of ownership! Just be aware that the mirror
screen isn't that easy to see in sunlight. Below the screen is a roller
with two buttons. These let you navigate around the icons on screen
when the phone is closed. It has to be said that the roller isn't the
easiest user input method ever invented. LG should have learned their
lesson after the problems with the touch-sensitive buttons on the Chocolate!
Also on the side of the phone is the MP3 button, which lets you use
the phone as a music payer when closed. It's a neat and effective design.
Open up the slide and you find a fairly conventional metal keypad. It's
not touch-sensitive thankfully, but is almost flat. In practice the
keypad poses no difficulties and is similar to the keypad found on Motorola's
RAZR series of ultraslim phones. It lights up blue when in use.
In terms of features, the Shine is not lacking. The camera has 2 megapixels
and uses a Schneider-Kreuznach lens. Now that 3 or 5 megapixel cameras
are available in phones, it's the quality of the optics that dictate
picture quality, and the Shine does produce good quality pictures for
a phone. The camera is equipped with autofocus, and has an LED light
for night-time photography. It also has a video camera. The display
is of high quality, being a TFT screen with 262,00 colours and 240 x
320 pixels - virtually the industry standard for high-end phones nowadays.
As already mentioned, there's an MP3 player that supports a wide range
of file formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+ and AAC++. A stereo headset is supplied,
and an optional stereo Bluetooth
headset is also available. The LG Shine supports MicroSD
memory cards with capacity of up to 2 Gbytes, so there's plenty
of storage for music. You could realistically use a phone like this
as an iPod replacement. Other features worth noting are Java games,
a fast EDGE connection for downloading data, and Flight Mode for using
the multimedia functions when not connected to a network. The battery
life of the Shine is probably a couple of days in normal use, although
the battery indicator doesn't seem to be very reliable.
We like the LG Shine, but it has more than its fair share of issues.
It creates a very good first impression, with its metal and mirror looks,
and when handling the phone, we get an impression of quality and durability.
The stainless steel casing adds to the weight, but the phone is very
slim and feels nice in the hand. All of the features that you'd expect
from a high-end 2.5G phone are here. However, there are downsides to
having a shiny metal phone: it scratches and gets covered in fingerprints,
and the mirror screen is difficult to see in sunlight. The roller is
simply unnecessary and annoying. The ringtone volume is too low and
the reception seems to be worse than average. There have been reports
of the Shine shutting down and then refusing to switch back on, but
these are quite rare. If this happens to you, try removing the battery
and trying again. If this fails, it will have to go back to the shop
for a replacement. The Shine looks good, but just like the Chocolate,
it's not the most user friendly phone that you can buy. Alternatives
worth considering are the LG Chocolate,
LG KF510, and Samsung
G600.
Features of the LG Shine include:
- 2 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, autofocus, flash
and 2x digital zoom
- Video recorder
- Display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 240 x 320 pixels
- Stereo music player (MP3, AAC, AAC+ and AAC++ file formats)
- MP3, AAC and AAC+ ringtones (40 voice polyphonic)
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, Email
- 3D Java games
- Document Viewer (.ppt, .doc, .pdf, .xls and .txt files)
- Flight Mode
- Caller ID (photo / video)
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 1.2, USB
- Memory: MicroSD memory card (up to 2 Gbytes)
- WAP 2.0, EDGE
- Triband
- Size: 100 x 51 x 14 mm
- Weight: 119g
- Battery standby: 280 hours

I'm surprised when I read the other reviews that no one mentions the
incomplete MP3 set-up. Doesn't anyone use an external memory to be able
to have more then 10 songs on the phone? The MP3-player is in my view
useless without the external memory. Anyway here is my problem. The
MP3 player can't access the external memory card. To be able to play
songs from the external memory you have to go through "my things" (I
have a Swedish set-up so I don't know the English name) which is much
more complicated AND even though you can play the songs this way the
other features doesn't work. No play lists or equalizer it doesn't even
automatically play the next song. It just stops after it has played
the one you first selected. If you thing about using the phone as an
serious MPS-player think again.

the phone certainly looks stylish but its not exceptionaly sophisticated
in its features. It will only hold 20 texts messages which in todays
day and age just isnt enough. Also when the outbox is full (20 messages),
on the 21st delivered message, they are all automatically deleted! It
doesnt give the option of folders either. When a text is sent you are
directed back to the main screen of the phone so you have to re navigate
back to the message section. the sound isnt very loud,even on its highest
setting. the roller bar doesnt do anything that cant not be performed
by presing the keypad - it just seems to get in the way. when using
the phone, due to the position of the camera lens on the back, your
fingers end up covering the lens - this surely will put prints on the
lens? if you recevie a text when the phone is closed and you view it
with out sliding the phone open,the message that tells you you have
receved a text doesnt dissaper. you have to press cancell for it to
dissaper - all these little things combined made me find the phone inpractible.
it is also very sensitive to scratches and doesnt have a very stong
signal in doors. the batterery drains with in 24 hours even if not used
heavily. the phone itself,cosmetically is outstanding however in terms
of use it lets it's self down.

Had mine for 4 weeks and I as much as a loved the style of the phone
I had to finally conceed that it was c**p and swapped it for a nokia
6300. The reception on the shine was BAD - everyone else could get signal
and the shine couldn't. The service is no good if you actually want
to use the phone to communicate. Do I need to mention that the nokia
gets 3 bars reception where the shine got none!!!!

if you want to buy it I would recommend you to think twice since it
looks great but it seems as if it will fall apart if you don't use it

WORST PHONE IV'E EVER HAD, in the first week the phone would not charge,
i had been using the alarm for 3 days no problems then on the 4th day
i try to set the alarm when i pressed set the phone froze. I had to
keep taking the battery out and putting it back in but the alarm would
still freeze when trying to set it. Also you cant save txt messages
on the phone at all there is no lock function to do this.you can also
hardly hear the phone when it rings and thats it on the loudest setting.
I took the phone back and got a samsung D840 what a phone compaired
to the shine i would'nt touch an lg phone again, apart from the looks
lg have nothing more to offer in my opinion, they wil lhave to get bk
to the drawing board before they can seriously compete with other phones
on the market. I would not recomend this phone at all.

"There have been reports of the Shine shutting down and then refusing

to go back to the shop for a replacement." Yeah! It happens to
me, but I figure out that if one turns on the mp3, camera, or bluetooth,
leaving it idle for awhile, the phone could potentially switch off.
Turning back the phone will not help and you will have to remove the
battery. Luckily, this is a firmware problem. LG must fix the problem
asap. If one is using a bluetooth handset to listen to music. I don't
think the function will work. It can only be used to answer and receive
calls. I've tried that.

Having never owned a phone with any extra functions i chose the LG Shine
to initiate myself in having a phone as an object of desire. The phone
itself is as the packet says shiney shiney, which instantly appeals
to magpies like me. It has a nice satisfying weight and size, lovely
stainless steel back and keypad, big tactile keypad.. and of course
the magic morror screen. there's odd bit of cheapo silver plastic i
think but i'm nitpicking. However I'm not attracted much by the figety
little roller dial, it's unsightly as well as being not that effective
to use and when you press it (it can also be used as three buttons)
it isnt very tactile. the first handset i was given had a faulty roller
which only moved in one direction on the screen (its meant to go up
and down), so i'm also wary of how robust it is. Also with the first
handset i had i taken off the plastic from the mirror and it was scratching
within one week of use. My other peave with the design is that the camera
lense is in an awkward postion and i keep putting my finger over it
(maybe this is because i'm not used to camera phones) AND you have to
use tiny buttons or the fidgety roller button to take the picture. The
controls on the phone in general are not very obvious compared to nokias
and a bit long winded and i can't be bothered to work them out sometimes.
i can't seem to find predictive text function either. It's a pretty
phone (as mobile phones go) but i wouldn't buy one if it wasn't included
in my contract.. there are more pretty or more useable phones on the
market that probably cost the same.

most of the people i know have no need to turn their phone off because
it has a perfectly good silent profile. secondly i dont have any scratches
or fingerprints, because i upgraded from the nokia 6270 (yeh i no) i
could never put my finger on the front of it to slide it upwards i put
it on the side, and because all of my phones have been slides i tend
to do this with all phones and the imaginary scratches you people are

This has to be the worst phone I have ever had. I hated it after 2 days
and quickly returned it. Its heavy, easily marked, the camera is poor,
takes ages to capture a picture - no good for someone with shaky hands.
Texting is awkward, it kept knocking me completely out of the text menu
in the middle of a message which was very frustrating. The battery life
is pathetic. I found the battery lasted around 14 hours, and that was
with a couple of phone calls, sending a few texts and playing one of
the games for about half an hour. The scroll wheel was annoying, skipped
all over the place. Horrible boring black background on screen with
grey text, I couldnt find anyway to change this, when out in daylight,
I found the screen really difficult to see. Poor selection of ring and
text tones. Froze a couple of times, I had to take the battery out and
replace it again for phone to work. All in all, this is the worst phone
that I have ever had, couldnt wait to get rid of it. There was nothing
I liked about it at all.

Good looking phone with a nice weighty feel which gives it a feel of
quality. Does everything I expect from a mobile phone. Anything more,
I'd be looking at a PDA/Phone combo like this one: www.seehtc.com as
an all in one unit. Reading some the reviews, I personally don't understand
why people are complaining about sending a text - handy tip, if you
press the scroll wheel four times you get to open up a new text quickly.
So it is about,oh, two more key presses than some phones. Predictive
text is good but if you are one of those people who can't spell or can't
be bothered to spell and have to use abbreviations then it's not the
phone that is slow is it? It's not a phone for people who like to text
as the etched keys are not suitable for it. If those people think sending
texts is bad on this phone, don't even consider the forthcoming LG Prada
or Apple iPhone with touchscreen input let alone worry about fingerprints.
Haven't tried the email function but then a cheap U3 memory stick with
portable Thunderbird is a better option. Bluetooth: excellent as it
can send and receive files to/from my PDA (a Tapwave Zodiac), my laptop
and to my main computer using a cheap usb dongle from ebay. MP3: good
but if you want to have it more organised then buy an idiotPod (ha,
then discover the delights of DRM). Enjoy the randomness of shuffle.
It has a microSD slot so you can have extra storage but awkwardly, you
have to remove the back cover to access it. Text tones: only 4 but that's
four too many in my book so I'm not complaining. Off and vibrate work
for me as I really don't care about being notified about receiving text
messages. Ring tones: well traditionally, all built-in ones are ok but
you can use your own MP3, WAV, or MIDI file as the ring tone. Still,
if you want Crazy Frog you have the choice. Battery life: If you want
to have a slim phone with colour screen you have to expect to charge
it more otherwise I've found it quite good. You can change the brightness
to save a bit more on battery. Discount certain reviewers who have said
battery life is awful after two days. Rechargeable batteries need a
few cycles to be conditioned. User interface: ignore what certain people
have been saying. It is excellent and reminds me of the old Nokia 6110
and how easy it was to navigate. Once you learn how to control the scroll
wheel. The option to use the keypad is also handy when using the phone
one handed. Only one theme available - white text on black which works
well though the option of other themes would have been a nice touch.
The flash lite capability is an interesting addition. Camera: It's ok,
a bit slow but then I have a 5MP digital camera and the phone camera
is never going to match it. Video: Probably the poorest function but
as it's really a novelty item there is no point in talking about it.
Downsides: the power connector is propriety and the cover will in all
likelihood break off. The camera lens, I would prefer it to be in a
horizontal plane, as my finger tends to cover it leading to a slightly
greasy lens. I would like to have seen a USB charging cable included.
I did have ONE problem with start-up but that was it and I reckon it
was down to a Vodafone SIM in an O2 branded phone. With the O2 SIM it
has been perfect in operation so reading some of the reviews, it may
be down to certain network firmware. Reception is good - living in a
coastal region - there is no difference between Vodafone and O2 (in
my opinion) as all networks are variable in quality here. Overall, this
is a fashion phone with enough useable features to make (almost)everyone
happy. One final tip, I've kept my plastic covering on the phone to
stop it from scratching. Might look "uncool" but it protects well enough
and no fingerprint problems!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE!! This is the worst phone I have ever had
in my life. I have had to have my phone replaced twice in the last 3
weeks! The first one appeared to be ok, but then would not charge (it
had charged ok before) It was as dead as a Dodo! I tried everything
- several different plug sockets, taking the battery in and out - nothing
would get it to work! I was without a phone for three days (until I
could get in the shop to change it). I got my new phone and again everything
was ok for a week... then the problems started again. I turned it off
whilst at work and it completely refused to turn beack on again (i knew
it was fully charged!) I tried everything again and finally it came
pon after removing the battery about 10 times! By this time I was really
fed up but put it down to one of those things. BUT NO... it jas done
it AGAIN! I have just tried to charge my phone and again it would not
do anything at all. I kept unplugging the lead, removing the ba ttery,
trying every plug socket in the house. Now I am really fed up and I
am more than sure that it is not just me who is unlucky with this phone!
There must be some sort of problem with it..and I am interested to know
if anyone has had a similar experience. Aside from these troubles, in
essence the phone seems ok. It looks cool, feels sturdy and is definitely
cool. However, the little roller thing is a little sensitive and tends
to 'jump' a little when you press it to select something. This in itself
does not put me off though..it is just a little annoying! As for everything
else I would say that the external speaker sounds a little 'tinny' but
the sound is good when used with earphones. The pre loaded songs are
a bit rubbish as is the tones for messages etc. I personally think that
it looks good, but as a phone is rather basic!

I have a Sony Ericcson D750i, which is one of the best phones i've ever
used (and I've had a few)! Last week, i decided that i was going to
buy a Nokia N73, as i wanted more features, but stumbeled across the
LG Shine. Amazing looks and feel, so decided to give it a try. The phone
is brilliant, but my one and main gripe is the scroll button. This will
take some getting used to as it constantly selects another option if
you're not extremely careful, as it's way too sensitive. This makes
using the two smaller buttons on either side of it more tedious. Apart
from that, it's a solid phone, nice metal care, excellent display, good
features and decent sound quality. The camera does the trick, with clear
pictures and a long video record time. Hours of fun!

Hi I was the first one to review this phone on here and i'm just updating
my review for the benefit of any people who are thinking of buying this
phone. I did keep it for about a week and after that am afraid I had
to take it back. I swapped it for the much more plain looking but much
much more amazing Sony Ericsson W810i. The reviews for that are stunning!
Reasons: Well obviously not its looks, it's still gorgeous and I still
look at it and admire its picture on this website. For me though, as
much as i'd like to be a fashion phone gal, i'm just not. I try wearing
heels and always go back to flats the same way I try using posh looking
phones like this one and always go back to durable sporty phones like
the Ericsson. I just love practicality too much I guess. The phone was
slow, heavy and the worst gripe of all was the reception. I got NONE.
Where I live isn't the best for signal but it's not the worst, the LG
Shine refused to pick up any signal there unless I effectively stood
on my window sill. The ericsson in comparison has 3 bars which is even
better than my old Nokia and i'm a happy bunny! Texting is slow on the
Shine, scrolling is a pain although the scrollbar is a gloriously decadent
little thing. The camera lags but that wasn't a major problem for me.
I turned this phone off once and it wouldn't turn back on again... Had
to take the battery out and put it back in again.... the other problem
I had was trying to make calls and not being able to hear anything....
that stopped after a couple of days though. Overall gorgeous, if you're
that kind of girl, a few problems can be expected with these high spec
phones, but if you can't walk in heels don't wear them, and if you don't
feel comfortable carrying an ornament phone around then don't buy one.
Hope this was helpful.

I've had this phone for only the past few days, although I was planning
to get the D900 I felt the looks in comparison to the dull looking D900
sold it for me! But so far it is looking good. The scoll feature can
get in the way when opening and closing the slide but you just need
to get used to sliding away from the central scroll button. The slide
allows easy access shortcuts to the main menus like text and phonebook
which is great and a bit of practice with getting used to the scrolls
sensativity, depending on how fast you scroll, your safe. I'd suggest
not using the scroll bar as a selection button as you end up scrolling
and not selecting! - instead use the left and right buttons. Although
the titanium frame is a great solid finish in comparison to a plasic
finish it does add weight to the phone and fingerprint marks can get
annoying! I haven't really tested the cameras full potential but i'd
suggest if you choose looks before a top mega pixel camera phone it
won't matter . The phone is overall a very masculine phone in comparison
to the chocolate i'd say but no doubt the shine will be a big seller
in the coming months. As I said the looks sell it. If you want to get
noticed - this is the perfect mobile for you!

the mp3 with no sucess until i realised that only mp3 format works ,(
ican be a bit slow at times ) but apart from that it seems a great phone
and suspect it will get scratched over time , i think this phone is
much more stylish than the Nolia 8800 steeley slider which is very overpriced
still for what it can do. My one main gripe about this phone is the
fact that there is no voice recon so when its paired to a bluetooth
headset you still need to handle the phone unlike my old moto pebl ,
but to honest i feel like a borg talking with that thing in any way
so overall i'd reconmend it .

Moved up from a V3i, and took 2 weeks to fall in love with it. I found
a case for it, the Chocolate pouch fits it perfectly so quite discreet.
Although the blurb says it has a GB of memory, the memory manager only
shows half a gig so not sure. But still enough onboard compared to others
(the original V3 only has 5mb). I agree with the comment on music filing,
one long list can be very irritating, as can the shutter lag on the
camera but you can forgive this for the quality of the shots. But overall
an excellent all round phone at a not too bad price.

without activating the scroll.I found that when i transferred my saved

and ringtones are bad beyond belief. The front doubles as a mirror when
the phone is closed...but seems to grab fingerprints, so be prepared
to buff this phone everytime you pick it up.The scroll can take alot
to get used to, either over or under scrolling, resulting in clicking
on something you didnt want to.I found the most annoying thing is that
i had no signal whatsoever, whereas with my old phone i had full signal,
this is a common fault with the lg shine. All in all a nice phone to

as a phone! ive sent mine back now....im going to stick to sony ericcson.

backlight (but thn u cant text or use it in the dark) to changin brightness

pretty annoyin when u r tryin to sleep! help if ne1 knows how to stop

either especially with 4example - texts etc as you dont have any options
of how often they alert you. its just the once it beeps. 6) camera quality
is pretty good but has an automatic focus on it - so when you are tryin
to catch something moving - u have no chance of takin it with out it
bein blurred! but i think you can turn this off, still its a standard
setting. 7) only option with menu colour is black with white writing.
u cant change it. a bit boring really! and a few postives 4u - the scroll
middle button is cool when you get used to it, really easy for using
predictive text with it too. it does have an expandable memory,thank
god! n a gud extra is u can view documents like powerpoint and word
documents on it. :) enjoy it i think its quite classy! also yes facing

As said, it is probably one of the best looking phones out there! and
as Helen said, it does have a very expensive feel to it. The main annoying
thing with the camera is the shutter lag, its about 1-2 seconds, and
can be very annoying! The music player is very unorganised, just one
big list. and music files have to be put in the MP3 folder is you wish
to listen to them from the memory card, and for them to be able be used
in the MP3 list, they need to be MP3 format, and the phone wont find
the files if they are in files in the MP3 folder, so you have to store
them as one big list. The display, when in mirror mode is very handy,
so i can get my phone out in classes, without getting it confiscated
(sp?) I bought this phone on the 13/02/07, and i must say very impressive,
as for reception quality, mine is about average.

and to be frank its rubbish!! the lg shine however, is much faster than
the n73. the scroll bar can be a little tricky to use and sometimes
lands on different options but it is fine once you get use to it and
no more trouble than your average joystick which i might add, has a
tendency to stop working (K800i) overall i think this phone is a good
investment and definitely up to standards. great camera, music quality
and stunning looks. it also has the best reception! and whilst the battery
meter is a little deceptive and lies its only ytue downside is that
is perhaps a bit too stylish for this generation where mobile thefts
are on the up and most people feel the need to discreetly look at their
