Had this phone for 5 days, unfortunately after 1st day realised it wasn't for me so am swaping for a K800i (currently have P910i so like Sony interface and have got used to lots of functions hence notes below). Shine is VERY nice to fiddle with, but for various reasons I can imagine getting fed up with it as a phone:
- Only 50mb NOT 1gb as advetised (since 2G not 3G)
- No video editing as advertised
- Looks great, but only if clean and this means risking scratches when wiping
- Scroll wheel temperamental, like a slow pC mouse, often misses movement then you have to wait while it catches up
- Pressure to press scroll wheel is high, but turns v. easily, so often jumps to next ooption when selecting
-Won't interface properly with bluetooth handsfree so have to hold phone to dial
-Camera button starts camera when closed but cannot exit without opening slider
_ No playlist function in MP3
- Camera OK but have to be very gentle with button to prevent blur, which means being slow
- Phone creaks after 1 day when pressing buttons
- Cannot charge via USB and use headset at same time
- Cannot connect via USB and use PHONE at same time!
- Only one mobile no. per contact
- No zoom in highest res (2MP)
- Video res low
- Headphones have long rigid tube and constantly fall out of ears (but at least you can use other headsets with mic/remote).
As I said above, I am used to a PDA style phone, so many people may not care about issues above - and trust me I have tried really hard to like the Shine, but I think LG should have put more effort into making the functionality match the looks - a great 'jewellery' phone.

I've been waiting for the release of this phone for few months now.....
BUT now that it has come out, I think Samsung D840 or D900 has to be better phone.
LG Chocolate had a similar battery life as LG Shine, and I haven't had much problem with it. As long as it lasts two days, phones battery life is fine for me (with moderate use).
If you pop into your local mobile dealer, they'll probably tell you that D840 is the better choice, and I would have to agree...
But if it was my choice pick, I'd still go for the LG Shine.....it's got that
X factor....

@1weasel1 - if you had bothered to even read the other posts you would of seen my post about batery life just FOUR posts down from yours.
@gaz - Of course it does the same old things. The same old things being Camera, Video, MP3 player, Bluetooth. Only new thing in phone is TV out and touch screen, neither of which I want.

Now thats a funny thing to say given that both phones specs and features are almost identical. The only difference being the Samsung D840 has TV out. So it comes down to taste. Would you rather be seen with the LG Shine or the D480 which looks like it was designed by Dr. Frankenstein.

looked at the handset in CarPhoneWarehouse the yesterday. they its not that good and the sam d840 is 100 times better. good feature on the LG Shine is just the mirror effect screen, which when you put fingures on the screen all you see is your fingure print so you`ll be constantly wiping it clear.

Ok had this phone for four days now. The battery life is not as bad as they make out. This phone does suffer from the usual LG problem of the battery indicater not being able to make up it's mind. One moment it says it's full and the next it's at halfway and then it's back again.
For some strange reason it has two clocks on the standby screen.
As to the stupid finger prints on the screen comment. Stop touching the damn screen then.

I think the mirror on the display is a big problem I tested it and there were always fingerprints on the screen and if you want to open it you're coming directli to the menu because you dont have a button to open it
