LG KE970 Shine review: High-gloss, high-class

09 April 2007
LG continues their Black Label series but this time the black is replaced with a bit of silver shine. The new LG KE970 Shine is the first of the truly shiny devices of the Korean manufacturer that landed on our test site. Packing some serious horse power, the LG KE970 Shine is among the most advanced GSM handsets by LG and certainly one of the most attractive – armed with a 2 megapixel camera with auto focus, a QVGA TFT display, a microSD memory card slot and a number of other goodies it is sure to grab your attention. Read on for more on that exclusive device.

          I just bought this phone but haven't used it yet (I have to wait until Christmas) but this website was so helpful! I learnt things that I didn't know about it and thanks to the people who wrote this, I won't spend all Christmas day hunched over the instructions! I'm so excited about finally using my phone! Thanks! And also, I think it looks awesome!

                Dropalinehere, 08 Mar 2008Anyone else having problems with a signal on this phone?? ... moreThe Reason You Are Getting No Signal Is Because The Network You Have Must Be V. Patchy Where You Live. I Would Change To O2 - Just Go Into An O2 Shop Or Carphone Warehouse And You Can Get An O2 Sim Card For About A Fiver. Simple. I Hope I Have Been Able To Help.

                      the cell is ok. But the sound is too low... :( Can't hear it sometimes... And the screen is scratched violently... But in general - I like it! A stylish one!

                                  Have this handset for 2 days now and so far so good, I'm in love with it. It's really beautiful and easy to use, though menu isn't always as intuitional as you would like it. It misses few functions as adding new word to T9 when you look over all proposed words, availibity to show only contacts from phone. Those are minors though and doesn't bother me much. I have no problem with scroller, I think you need to get used to it.

                                  Looks and functions, sturdy metal construction - all this for not so high price doesn't happen often these days. Battery life isn't long, but you should expect it, considering quite big, bright screen.
