Rating: Reviewed by gray on 25/11/2008 shine is the name cos you can't see the screen in the day light because the light shines on it. Sounds to low can't hear it when in pocket. Don't recommend it to anyone Rating: Reviewed by Dan on 23/11/2008 I hate this mobile i have had it 1 year. After the Sony ericsson 750i the lg just seems useless, and if i was you i would not buy this phone.My screem has cracked in two places and there is only 4 message tones to choose from and they are all terrable. Rating: Reviewed by anonyme on 19/11/2008 amazing phone!!! and i got the solution for the battery problem: just go to the settings menu, then display,and switch the brightness to 40% instead of 100 Rating: Reviewed by t brock on 19/11/2008 hate it - can not charge the phone, pins bent, 1.5 months old!

Rating: Reviewed by sarah on 17/11/2008 The lg shine is OK but i like my music but the thing is that the sound is not good also same times i get same lines time to time Rating: Reviewed by Linda on 16/11/2008 This phone should not be described as MP3 player. Conrad in Sweden is spot on with his comments, unless of course someone knows how to default the MP3 player to the external memory, giving access to the full controls. The MP3 is useless unless you can play all or shuffle all your stuff. It doesn't always come with a data cable either (Certainly not from Tesco), but try finding one. Suggestions from LG did not stock. Rating: Reviewed by Ellie on 15/11/2008 I got the LG shine about 2 mounths ago and i LOVE it. i love the look the style. the ONLY falut i can think of is you can't change the text alert. But hey its not the end of the world as i have my phone on vibrate most of the time. RECOMMENED FOR ANYONE!

After purchasing the phone the first problem I noticed was that the sound was way too low, and it vibrates too gently, the phone was in my pocket ringing and vibrating and could you believe, I didn't feel or hear a thing. Once, the phone fell when I was in a rush to leave home... biggggg mistake. It was never the same since. It kept on turning itself off, messing with the time, and it couldn't charge unless it was turned off. It is very sensitive to falling and lets just say if it falls once thats the end of it, let alone twice or thrice. I wouldn't recommend the purchase of this phone to anyone. Rating: Reviewed by Jenny on 02/11/2008 this phone is ok but the sound is tooooo low. if your thinking of buying it, i would think again. sorry guys. Rating: Reviewed by Laura on 01/11/2008 I've had this phone a year and has been trouble from month one onwards, the only thing thats stopped me getting a new phone is money, just recently replaced the phone and will be selling my LG shine, within a month of buying the phone, i started having problems, it started switching itself on and off intermittently, removing numbers from my phone book without me doing anything, and deleting received messages before i could read them and deleting my messages at random, i would not recommend this phone to anyone, in the first week it seems fine, but after that u soon realize this is a very problematic phone! DONT BUY IT IF YOU'RE READING THESE REVIEWS WITH INTENTION TO BUY, ITS A WASTE OF GOOD MONEY!! Rating: Reviewed by rachel on 01/11/2008 this phone is extremely nice and eye catching Rating: Reviewed by ady on 31/10/2008 it is a beautiful phone with a great sound.and an excellent camera.

AND its always turning itself off. if your thinking of buying this phone.. don't! waste of time and money. Rating: Reviewed by jon on 28/10/2008 got this phone afew months ago, works perfectly well apart from the fact you cant see the screen in daylight. It looks great too! and has been quite reliable, would recommend for sure! Rating: Reviewed by phoner on 26/10/2008 this phone is so awesom the features are outstanding Rating: Reviewed by Glen on 24/10/2008 Absolutly shocking. Problems with mp3 section, rubbish screen, ringtone problems, switches itself off(other people have said the same). I have had tuppance bricks etc in the past and they have been more reliable. Rating: Reviewed by Soph on 22/10/2008 I hate this phone so much well i got it for chiristmas but i wish i had asked for another fone like the sony erricson w580i witch i am getting this christmas hopefully. i warn you do not get this fone, it is good but i hate the slidy thing it is rubbish get the sony erricson w580i Rating: Reviewed by ------ on 19/10/2008 I got this phone a while ago haven't really had any problems with it only I like having songs on my phone and the memory anly lets you have around 7 songs on but apart from that it's great and easy to use.

The Only Problem Is, Although It Clearly States On The Instructions Leaflet That There Should Be A USB Cable... I Can't Seem To Find One = Oh Well, I'll Sort That Out Eventually. Overall It's Great! =] Rating: Reviewed by charlotte on 12/10/2008 i haVE only had this phone for about 18 months and the phone keeps taking all the songs off it also there is this line running right down the middle of it. it can take very good pictures but you cant hold that meny :( over all dont get this phone its rubbish!!!!!

Rating: Reviewed by frank van amsterdam on 09/10/2008 this phone is for babies.it does not have radio.the scroll whatever is very poor and too annoying to use...try it with calculator,and you will cry.mp3 cannot access the external card.each time you play music ,you must adjust the volume as the volume is always zero level.the volume is not loud in anyway.no internal setting of the volume.the designers of this phone are too nzuzulistic in their ways of thinking. Rating: Reviewed by jodie on 06/10/2008 i like it Rating: Reviewed by cj on 06/10/2008 Pretty from afar, far from good. Software crash - Had a software crash within the first month. Turned off and wouldn't turn back on. Returned it for repair - all the saved pics and addresses were lost in doing this. Reception - The reception on the phone is almost non-existant, my Blackberry will have full bars and the Shine has NONE! They're on the same carrier, so I know it's the hardware, not the carrier. External memory card confusing to locate/use. Camera - the ONLY good feature this poor phone has. Once the thing dies for good I'll go back to the good, old, reliable Samsung phones where I can actually make a phone call, or send a text message. Rating: Reviewed by Robins1000 on 06/10/2008 this mobile is very good. I strongly recommend.

Looks good. Battery life terrible, cannot see the screen in daylight, screen scratchs - wont be getting a LG again! Rating: Reviewed by rebecca on 30/09/2008 I'm having the same problem as Sean. The phone turns off randomly with out me knowing, and I try turning it back on but it wont until I take the sim and battery in and out a couple of times. It's really hard to see the screen outside in the sun. I have the pink one and the colour scratches off really easily and it looks horrible.The sound is very low,and If I leave on the music player the phone shuts off after a couple of songs. Overall the phone looks nice, and is easy to use but I wish I bought I differnt phone, and I really don't recommend it. Rating: Reviewed by tom on 29/09/2008 this phone is boss, but i had it in my back pocket i sat down now i cant see anythin Rating: Reviewed by johnpaul vella, malta on 27/09/2008 nice phone but i agree about the text messages/alarm sounds...could be louder and choice is rather restricted...this is my only regret :( Rating: Reviewed by Joe on 22/09/2008 This phone is nice and cheap, but it shows. Camera is terrible, marks REALLY easily and you can't really see your reflection in the daytime. Also, the scrolly thing can become a pain, especially when texting - slows everything down. It's nice and sleek though, and it's not too expensive, so yeah. Rating: Reviewed by vicky on 21/09/2008 its really cool and great but the memory card is so rubbish Rating: Reviewed by Bryan on 20/09/2008 I have had the Shine for a month, flawless operation, get compliments all the time, but it drives me nutz keeping the ear smudge's and finger prints off of it. I know its silver, looks great when its clean, case doesnt help. Nice weight & feel to it, the eraser nub mouse thing, seems to have lost its sensitivity, you have to push on it harder up/down to react, could just be me? I would recommend, but screen in sunlight is un-readable, ring tones could be louder.I had a LG flip before (Sprint), this has better phone coverage. Rating: Reviewed by Devon Helyar on 20/09/2008 i dont know what the rest of the people are talking about this phone is incredible love it x Rating: Reviewed by Mkphoneuser on 19/09/2008 This has to be the worst phone I have ever owned. I cannot hear it. Reception is exceptionally bad, I can never get a signal to send receive or make calls. Ok its pretty, hey but at the end of the day, I need a phone that works as a phone and is reliable. DO NOT BUY if you are a serious phone user, OK as a gimmic only. Rating: Reviewed by sean osborne on 19/09/2008 I have been using th LG Shine for 13 months now, in that period I have had the phone replaced three times. The Shine has a tendency to power off, this happens when its in your pocket and unknown to you the phone is off. On a number of occasions I had been waiting to receive business related calls on the mobile, only to be contacted when I arrived home. The phone had powered off. When I took it for repair the first time, I was told it was egress (water damage), the phone had never been exposed to sweat let alone water. I sent it back to the manufacturer and after a period of ten days they sent it back supposedly repaired. One week later the phone powered off. I sent it back again, and this time the phone was replaced with a new phone. Yet again this new phone is powering off. Is this a common fault? or is there anyone else experiencing this fault? Rating: Reviewed by G on 18/09/2008 Having had it for a year now I would say it's build quality is largely impressive, and though it picks up scruffs and stuff the fact that all the buttons still work etc is far more important. But it frequently freezes when trying to text, usually at the moments when u have to send a text in 30 seconds, and you're hitting the keys frantically but nothings happening. Camera and all that is fine. Mirror is cool but makes screen unreadable whenever sun is out, which is obviously a major problem. Rating: Reviewed by listen on 14/09/2008 READ: Im Being Very Honest Here. Ive had this phone for a year in October. But im having to get a new phone as my contract is up. This Phone has been EXCELLENT. i have had NO problems what so ever. I do reccomend this phone. The camera is not great but it does the job! The camera has a flash which comes in very handy. There was only 3 things that i would have liked to have changed about this phone and they are not major.. *The music doesnt go very loud. *You cant have the music left on while doing other stuff like texting etc... *When you are looking through your photo gallery it takes a little too much time to switch from photo to photo. I bought a phone sock and 2gb memory card for this phone and since then ive loved it , its very good looking and a very good phone! I have about 2 scratches on the back but that is my fault because i put the phone in my pocket with money and the money scratched it but that doesnt bother me . its so handy how if you forget your mirror you can just quickly get your phone out . I was so happy with my buy of this phone . i went to america and the whole holiday i used my phone taking pictures , no problem with the battery. im always transferring pictures from the phone to the computer with the usb lead. i love this phone. If your considering buying this phone but bad reviews have put you off seriously dont listen. In the right hands its all you need . (: Rating: Reviewed by Emily on 14/09/2008 I got the phone just the other day and so far it has worked fine nothing wrong at all. The scroll you just need to get used to and its really easy to use. I haven't got any scratches on it so far and that is saying a lot for someone like me. I think it is a good phone personally and i love it. And it looks great which is a bonus. Rating: Reviewed by Jennifer on 11/09/2008 The worst phone ever! When I try to call out, it says "Call ended". Sometimes it won't receive other people's calls even if on their end, it's ringing! Texting also doesn't always go through and it has all these useless features that I don't need. You can't change the soft keys and the ring is so low, I can barely hear it! Do yourself a favor and don't get this phone, stick with Motorola or get something else!

Rating: Reviewed by Angela on 09/09/2008 HATE IT!! OK, I'll admit, I got this phone because it was cute (mirrror & all). I had a Blackberry Pearl prior to purchasing the Shine, and I think I got a little spoiled. I feel the Shine is way more difficult than it needs to be. No shortcuts. It just seems like it takes SO long to get anything done! Texting is a nightmare!! Also, my fingers hurt from the metal joystick. I don't mean to bash. It does have some good qualities.... a tip calculator for example...well, I tried to think positive. I just hope my old Pearl will have me back.

My phone keeps turning off randomly through out the day. a lot of my calls go staight to voice mail. The camera does not take clear pictures, and even if something is 3 feet away from you it looks like 10 even when it is zoomed in. You can not see the screen in the sunlight. It says "Call ended" when I try to call people sometimes, and will not connect. The internet alawys times out. The screen scratches so easily even though they said it was protected, and you get alot of finger prints on it. You have a hard time hearing people on it, and people have a hard time hearing you.

It looks great, the screen is nice and big and the text is nice and sharp. Really easy to use, all self explanatory. Of course it's going to get a bit dirty- most mobiles do! And as for all the 'it scratches really easily' you just have to be careful with it as you would anything else! Really great phone and good value! Rating: Reviewed by clare on 12/08/2008 my sister got this phone a few weeks ago and i always have a play on it. In y opinion it is very good, i dont see why everyone is complaining about it. I had no problems with it. Buy it. Rating: Reviewed by Meg on 11/08/2008 I've had this phone about a year. the screen DOES get scratched easily, and if you get it you have to accept it will almost definately get scratched slightly. The features are good, and the phone is very easy to use. Bad points; Battery life is poor and goes crazy when you listen to/match media; Memory is very bad without a memory card [mine was £6 or so and works wonders on the phone].It's a good music phone if you buy a memory card. Rating: Reviewed by Bexi on 10/08/2008 I got this phone in pink for my birthday last week, it looks lovley and i love the mirror effect! I havnt found any MAJOR problems, the roll navigator button thing is kinda hard to use, it always go's to the button above or bellow to the actual link i want to go on, but i guess ill be able to use that better with practice. One more thing is that when im texing the buttons done respond, especially the 'ghi' button, i click it 3 times to get the letter 'i' and it stays on 'g', im not sure if thats a problem with every phone, but its annoying with mine. Appart from them 2 little problems i LOVE this phone! Everything is pink and love the color pink. The camera is also great and all the other features on the phone i love!! Rating: Reviewed by Shelly on 09/08/2008 This phone was really good. It holds alot of messages, but the games are very bad.. Its slightly harder to text with, but after a few days you should get used to it. The screen gets a little fuzzy form the fingerprints, but it comes with a hpone charm which can be used to clead the screen every now and then. The ammount of battery in the display is very vague.. Good phone though. Mine broke after 6 months...

Rating: Reviewed by debbie on 23/07/2008 I brought my Pink LG phone and received it about three weeks ago after being really pleased with the quality of the phone and how well the pic show up on it, I downloaded all my info onto it, then about 4 DAYS after I received the phone the screen frozen then when the phone turned itself off it wouldnt turn back on again. I called the company who I brought the phone off and had to pay over £8 to send it back. Then sent me a new phone which I received Monday and again everything was working well, then last night the battery started to go low while I was out, and the screen went really faint, so I then charged the phone when I got home and left it in charge all night to make sure the battery was full, when I come to turn the phone on again the screen is still really faint and I can not see anything on it?? This is s frastrating and means I have to pay another £8 or so to send the phone back!!

Rating: Reviewed by Dean on 11/07/2008 In general it's a good all sound phone, but what i have the most is when you put a 2gig memory card in. It doesn't detect it. Not only that you cannot format it either.

As the phone is intact I cant see this so we called LG ourselves and they came back with the same thing as they use Regenersis. So I wrote to LG with my concerns that the phone is not working after 2 months and they came back with sorry you broke it we wont repair this. I wish I had read the reviews of this phone because I wouldn't of bought it. But now I am writing to LG again with the comments people of put so see what happens.
