I had this phone about 3 or 4 years ago and loved it. I would get it again now, I found that the case was fine, few light scratches like on all phones but no internal problems. I found the roller a cool Feature and thought it was easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone. Love it.

i only text on my shine, no internet or phoning and I'm on my 2nd new battery in 5 months (complete battery crash after only 3 hours of use even with only 3 text messages sent and one received). I followed all the advice to preserve my battery life but there is an obvious defect with some shine phones (many) so don't take a chance cuz you'll be stuck with the phone and the charger in your pocket for 3 years!

I love it. I have had my phone for some time now {couple of years at least and, as I said, I love it. It is a pay as you go phone, but I am cosidering using this phone on contract. What I love about my LG Shine, is the heavy-duty build [feel] to it. It is solidly-made and that is what I like about phones like the LG Shine. I like to know I am at least HOLDING something, and not something that weighs as light as a feather. The stainless Steel, finish to the phone is the best, as far as I am concerned. And all those who are complaining that their phone does not work, well, it is a matter of getting used to it. This phone is a 'workhorse' and it takes perseverance and patience to get the best out of it. For me, the signal on my LG Shine, has always be great. never a problem with that at all for me. So,those who say the signal is bad?? Not sure what they are talking about? The camera on my LG Shine is great and I have had no problem at all with the camera, or indeed, the video capture. Excellent quality. I have a Blackberry, which I use, but not as often as my LG Shine, but I find myself looking for money to top up my LG Shine because I use it so much. However, there are issues with it, mainly that the volume is way too low. Fingerprints are another issue, but they are easily remedied with a clean cloth, making the phone gleam as if brand new again. I am not sure what the bad reviews are going on about? My phone works well for me. The only time I had a major issue with it was when I got drenched in the rain, with the phone in my pocket. It wouldn't work for weeks afterwards. But it is fine now. It is a beautiful phone, and the roller is no problem to me at all as I can use it easily.

I thnk the lg Shine is alright! The volume of music is awful though as i like to listen to alot of music and sometime i have to listen to it through the head phones cause it is nearly impossable to hear! I get this phone whe i was 10 and loved it but it soon got sort of boring as there is nothing like internet or msn! I think if they kept the model but upgraded it then it would be very popular and good! :)

It looks good, it feels nice, and the mirror is very useful! the roller is fun, and the volume perfectly good, if its too quiet for you you can put it on outside setting, which makes it much louder. really nice display, and easy to use.

i have had this phone for 2 and a half years. it has been and excellent phone for texting calling and has a good memory for music and pictures but i find there is more reasons to be negative about this phone than there is to be positive to be honest. i was 11 when i got this phone in 2007 and i was told the camera was excellent but i couldnt dis agree more the picture is terrible and the mega pixels make the photos you take look grainy the light always spoils the picture therefore unable to view it aftrewards. the video camera also is very bad as i was at a concert ad the closest i could zoom in was about 6 meters which was bad because of the light i couldnt even see and outline of the act on stage :( another negative point is that the leaver on the side of the phone where you insert your charger and usb cable snaped off after the 1st few months , the screen has cracked in both corners 4 days after i had it and i was VERYY protective of it, when its sunny because it s a mirror which means when it is sunny you CANNOT see the screen AT ALL! the memeory is good but the quality of music and sound is awful :( this phone has lasted me a long time and i have turned 14 today which means i have had this phone 3 years and i think soon its time to get a new 1 because i need a better video camera, camera, music player, viewable screen and over all a different phone :)

I got this phone because it takes great pictures...for a phone. However I would NOT recommend this phone to others. In many cases...I can set the phone down beside me and it will pick up a signal...when I'm holding it, the signal goes away. Also, it holds limited text messages...only around 100. Finally, alot of my settings tend to change themselves. For instance if I put the phone on vibrate, it will sometimes turn my keypad tone on or change my text message alert to silent. Very strange.

i bought this phone and so did my friend at the same time. These phones are okay if you just want to do basic things like ring people. However i would definately NOT recomennd this phone! There is a thing on the front that you use to scroll up and down and on mine and my friends phone this just stopped working within the phone being less than 6 months old. This phone freezes regularly and on the whole is just not a very good phone. I now have the LG cookie, this phone is much better and isnt all that expensive. I find it much easier to use without the scroll and is generally a much better phone.

I don't know why everyone is saying that this phone is awful, it is a good quality cheap (ish) phone. The roller key is a good touch and the flat keys are easy to use. The mirror effect is a good feature, when you have to re apply makeup or something like that. The camera is as good as a 3.2 megapixel camera (as used in the Apple iPhone 3Gs and the LG Cookie). I would give the phone overall a 5 out of 5 because it is an easy phone to use.

I regret buying this phone so much! i dislike the sheer shine of it, i've never been blinded by a phone.. it takes it's best pictures in sunlight.. well.. thats if you can actually SEE the screen while your taking a picture!! my girlfriend uses it to check her make up and hair every now and again so it's got some use out of the shiney mirror-like screen.. Features.. well where are they? no image editing, BAD message tones, 4 to choose from and you cant have anymore.. thats really annoying when all i want is a really good tune when i get a message! instead all i get is a sad excuse for a message tone! NOT GOOD! The ringtones are just as bad.. especially ''Life is good, shabby do wha wha.. etc'' i cringed so much when i heard that! you can change it to one of your mp3's though so all is not lost.. It's a lovely looking phone and the blue and black theme is gorgeous, my two favourite colours together Text messaging.. what on earth is up with this!! After two pages it gets ridicously slow.. not snail pace.. sloth pace! i write 4 words, and its still struggling typing out the first one, i have to wait for it to catch up.. and does anyone elses Lg Shine send old messages as new ones when recieving a text.. sometimes the new message is hidden in two parts in an old message.. yep confusing isnt it? it's just really annoying! Camera is slow, and takes bitty pictures unless your outdoors and in good lighting conditions.. the take time is really slow.. the video is abismal.. nothing else to say.. my Fly SlT100 was superior to this and that cost me 34.99 and had a touch screen and everything you could ask for in a phone! but i had to get rid as i moved from virgin to 02 and couldnt unlock the phone, i payed £70 for this phone and regret every penny i spent on it.. im trying flog it now for £50, ill do anything get rid of it, im gonna but the samsung s3500 on friday as i'm just so fed up of this phone! It's been known to turn itself off as well, happened to me twice.. If you want a phone that's gonna stand out, then its for you.. If you want a reliable phone that doesn't stress you out, buy something else.. POOR!

at first when i got the phone, i thought it was amazing. it did indeed look good, with the mirror finish and the scroll bar etc, but i found after about a year, the camera stopped working properly, it would shake and go blurry when i took a picture. this annoyed me a lot, but the thing that got to me most was in my txt messages. i'd be sent a message, and it would embedd itself with other older messages, so i had half of one message, half of another in the same message, which meant that they took up unnecessary storage space, and made reading the message a pain in the backside. the mp3 is also bad quality. tbh, i was hoping for something better, and now using my phone has become a bit of a chore. =[

I've had this phone for about a year and a half and it's still pretty good - I love the mirror and find the roller useful. The camera is pretty good too. The internet works really well and I always get good reception, plus I can get about200 sent messages and 200 messages in my inbox before it starts to tell me it's full. A little heavey, but the looks make up for it! I would reccommend to buy external memory for it though as it doesn't hold too many files. If you have a problem with signal it's probably nothing to do with the phone, I can assure you. This phone is also strong and durable - I know this because I spilt half a bottle of coke on it and now after 24 hours its back to normal. No battery problems, if you have any it's obviously something you've done.

I don't understand why companies make phones with things that a phone really needs and then they expect it to be highly popular :s weird.

I found this phone easy to use, but some things were too complicated for my liking, i think there should also be more choice of ringtones, and the camera wasnt the best, lets say. This phone though had alot of added extras that you would not get on most phones, and the look of the phone is very modern and stylish.

BUY THIS PHONE!!!

worthless hunk of junk. navigation seems to have been designed by a 7 year old so not flexible or logical. worse, my screen craked (or had a 'bleeding lcd crystal') without any pressure or knock t the phone. even worse, in under a year it had 2 batteried. EVEN WORSE, if there is sunshine outdoors - don't even try to use your phone. because you CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN! all you see is the mirror! this is the biggest piece of rubbish i have ever owned. i've complained to the company and to the retailer and they have been nothing but rude and uncaring. rubbish phone, rubbish company. STAY AWAY FROM LG OR YOU'LL REGRET WASTING YOUR MONEY! wish i coulld give it a 'no star' rating!

my mum got me this phone to last me, just till christmas, and its annoying me, because i find it hard to type as the keypads like FLAT! and also its so easy for fingermarks to get in it. but other than that its amazing. (:

I Got This Phone A Year Ago And Havent Liked It For A While. The Memory Is Rubbish And It Can Hold Like 3 Songs So You Have To Buy A Micro SD Card. You Cant see A Thing On the Phone When You Are Outside And The Phone Is Very Quiet Wich Annoy's Me As I Love Playing Music. My Blutooth Kept Going Wrong Too As It Would Not Pair With Cerain Phone And I Could Not Recieve Files Of Them. Also My memory Went Funny And It Said It Was Full But I Had Only Used 10% Of It. When I Tried To Fix It The Phone Wiped Everything Off And I Had Nothing Left. Also The Buttons Dont Work Sometimes When I Press Them And If I Put The Charger In It Dosent always Charge So I have To Turn The Phone Off And Start It Agian. When You Slide The Phone Up And Down I Use My Thumb On The Middle Of The LOwer Part Of The Screen As There Is No OTher Way, i Know Have A Huge Dent In the Middle. Very Annoying. Im Also Quite Clumbsy So I Drop The Phone Alot And The Screen Cracks Easily. Not A Good Phone I Would ent Recomend It To Anyone.

needed a new battery, needed a new screen, then when the sun came out - instantly unuseable. you cannot actually see the screen *at all* in the daylight. i've complained to LG and to the retailer but have made it very clear i feel the fault is with lg and they have absolutely washed their hands of it. avoid at all costs. and judging by their treatment of my complaint (which was simply initally an inquiry to see if they'd developed some sort of cover to make it useable), i would not even consider purchasing another lg product ever. you have been warned!

This phone isnt to bad, i had a problem with the screen keep cracking. A simple 2 foot drop and it would be shattered. I love the camera and all in all its a good phone. Just the screen is quite weak.
