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 recently purchased the LG KE970, however, its been a month or so but the screen has got tiny scratch marks even though I try to ensure its not in contact with any rough surface other than my trouser pocket. How can I prevent this?? None the less, its a very beautiful phone and I love the functionalities

I've got this phone and I'm in love with it! I don't know why people are complaining about the scroller. I haven't had any problems with it. The only little thing I can complain about it is that the battery lasts less then 2 days without much usage and NOT on the power saving mode. I heard the power saving mode gives it another day but i don't mind charging it everyday.

I bought the Shine Friday and returned it Monday. Yes, it is visually appealing, but the scroll bar is horrendous and the "intuition" of the buttons/menus leaves alot to be desired. The most disappointing aspect of this phone, however, is the resolution in direct sunlight. I'm not sure where the reviewer tested this or how he/she defines "tolerable", but i have 20/15 vision and i couldn't see one bit of the screen once i stepped outside. For $450, I expected alot more and I expected someone at LG would have tested this phone before the first shipment went out.

I just imported this phone from UK yesterday as still it is not launched in India. I must say this phone is really cool. I was skeptical about the signal strenght and battery backup of this phone. But I must say everything work really great, its interface and user friendlyness is more or less similar to Nokia. It fun using this phone.

I'm still contemplating on getting this phone. I've had some bad experiences with high tech phones. Most of the time the biggest issue is signal.

Anyone who has used this phone could you be kind enough to tell me whether this phone's signal is strong? I do a lot of business and therefore need a phone with good signal, something I find hard to find these days even with all the technology. The more tech it has, the worse the signal.

If you have used this phone please email me at lammai06@hotmail.com on any information on the signal/connection of this phone.

Thanks

I ordered this one today and expect to get it in a week or so. I'm excited and at the same time a little worried. The scroll-wheel worries me a tad. I hope I'm not in need to....
All in all, I'm as excited as a child is on christmas.... =)

I don't agree with any of you. I like the phone and that's all that matters.
