It is a nice phone to use. One problem with it is that that the volume level is not loud enough. There have many times when the phone rings that I have not heard it.

Ok well I'm looking for a phone right now and it seems to me like I don't want this phone! I guess it's just the sleek look of it that really draws people to it. I know that's the reason I was interested! Thanks for the review.

LG Customer Service guy recommended I bin it when i explained my experience with the phone.
Horrible design - although it looks nice, the looks certainly get in the way of its functionality, which is actually a terrible way to design things! It interferes rendering the phone useless. Plus the internal design mapping is nonsensical and inflexible.
I regret purchasing this phone. My screen craked (or had a 'bleeding lcd crystal') without any pressure or knock to the phone. In under a year it had 2 batteries. If there is sunshine outdoors - don't even try to use your phone. Because you can't. You honestly CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN! All you see is the mirror!
I've complained to the company directly and to the retailer and they have been nothing but rude and uncaring (and denying there is anything wrong with it, when all they have to do is take it outside if there's any sun). Rubbish phone, rubbish company. This was my 2nd - and final - chance with an LG product and I was upset with both items. STAY AWAY FROM LG OR YOU'LL REGRET WASTING YOUR MONEY!

Some LACK of BASIC features I've found out during the first week. My last phone was Motorola V557, so that's largely my basis. Despite these things, the phone is great for the price it's being offered:
- no speaker, so not too good sound;
- can't change the SMS ringtone beyond 4 default sounds;
- T9 doesn't work too great with symbols (I'm, I'll, etc.)
- can't customize shortcuts of Up, Down, Left and Right navigation keys;
- no voicename dialing;
- music player stops playing if you go out of the menu (can't play music and work with the phone at the same time);
- the up-down side keys are practically useless;
- address book lacks birthday and address;
- only one alarm possible (can't put two or more alarms);
- can only send a message to 6 people at a time;
- can't search for name of pictures, music and documents (try scrolling through 500 pix);
- can't change themes, not even build-in;
- doesn't come with data cable in box;
- options menu and scroll-click functions could be more intuitive - you have to go through several steps to do what you expect with one click;
- can't make your own caller groups;
- even when in silent mode the camera shutter makes noise;
GOOD features I wasn't expecting:
- metal body feels expensive and stable;
- 4 styles of numeric input (original and beautiful);
- amazing scientific calculator;
- menu and camera work even when the slider is closed (after unlocking the keypad);
- macro mode photos;
- great unit converter;
- beautifully animated world clock;
- autofocus camera, white balance, effects;
- office document viewer;

Very nice looking phone. Metal construction, so feels tough. Speaker OK. I managed a converation while walking along a busy street with cars going by!
Mirror effect brilliant.
Battery life poor.
Slider, daft idea, LG were right to drop it. But most menus are numbered so I can get the right option. The slide bar often picks the wrong item.
Camera avarage.
Phone slow when looking at large collection of photos. Much much slower than my older Nokias.

I used mine for just about everything taking pictures, copying documents recording memos and important meetings.
(1) I am a bit of take care and use carefully person; however I wanted to know that when the memory card is inserted is that what causes the video to be able record for a longer period of time?
(2)Today before 10:30/11:00 my phone just freezed up with the green squared still active on the camera whilst I was taking document photos, then it started to heat up. I contacted the company but they told it wasn't there product. I was in the process of moving the files from the phone to the computer so everything i had and was stored on there as of this day 27-5-2009 seems might be lost and all the time they had to answer calls/email and nothing even after about 4 to 6 emails I sent they responded to to basically and that was after the second email I sent to them (LGE).

Brill phone!!! It so DOES have a speakerphone. Although battery life isn't the best in the world, the phone itself is great to handle and use. The features- camera, MP3 and scroll wheel are great and work perfectly. 10/10!!!!

Hi,
I have LG shine and it is amazing phone and I feel I am real wonderful lady with this phone and I will not change my mind in it. Actually, I have a problem right now in it, when I call anybody, it said that the network is busy and I can not call anybody. I tried the SIM card in another phone and the card is perfect and is working very well so what is the reason of this problem. Can anybody help me please?
Thank you very much
