Good Points: Hmmmm... good points.... the mirror is effective. I can see myself in it.
Bad Points: If you can't even use the phone outdoors, you have to spend your money on patching up the screen and extending battery life - even at a bargain price you're taking on more you eventually have to spend just to keep the phone barely running! Stay Far Away.
General comments: 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!
LG Customer Service guy recommended I bin it. I am dead serious.

After having this phone for nearly 8 months, I think it's just a fashion statement. Only get it if you want to look good, don' get it if you want a phone.

It's slim and light and totally cool. Has a handy little mirror which comes in really handy on nights out. I love it and it's Pink. All girls should have an LG Shine. The only disappointing thing about the phone is that you can't set silly things to your messages, but I can live with that, well recommend LG KE970 Shine

I have had this phone for almost a year now.
It's one of the best phones I've ever had! It comes with everything you;ll need;USB, bluetooth,video recording, ect. It's thin and very stylish looking; When you slide it down, the front turns into a mirror. The music player is very easy to use with the scroll navigation; and ah, the scroll navigation! When I first got the phone, I wasn't sure about it, but it truly is a fantastic way to get around your phone. You get used to it after the first couple ...

The LG Shine has wicked stylin!!!!! The camera is excellent too. The only reason why I chose this phone is because it looks awesome. I also love the joystick. It's easy to play games with. When I went to bed it was full bars. When I woke up the next morning the battery died. Another time when it was full bars it turned off automatically. It took me about four times to turn it back on. The first time I got this phone it was hard for me to text on it. The keypad is so smashed together. When I pre ...

LG KE970 Shine is a good phone, great for a vain blonde (me) but i guess not too good for a nerd who wants it to do everything.

After reading many reviews, I was a little anxious to get the phone, as many said to be bad bad reviews, but having received the phone today, I have to say ignore all those, this phone is great. It's pink, sexy, stylish and scroller is great.
I would definately recommend the LG KE970 Shine if you are wanting something new, something exciting that will get everyone staring. Brilliant phone.

Easily broken. Not for normal every day use. I purchased this phone three weeks ago and the LCD Screen is now not functioning. I have been advised that this is my fault due to the phone been dropped or pressed hard. I purchased this phone at Tescos and they informed me that I would have to get it repaired at a cost of £50.
My daughter bought this phone out of her birthday money and cannot afford to have it repaired. So a brand new phone will be put away in its box.

The LG KE970 Shine is a very nice phone if you would like to show of to people. But it is not that good because if you've got fat fingers you cant answer.

I really hate this phone had it for 3 weeks and the screen has cracked and LG will not repair it. They are not worth the money at all. Also the buttons are stiff and when you select a menu or type of message it will disappear and go out of that menu area.

The whole phone is POOR! Nothing works.. battery lasts about 4 hours if I'm lucky, the charger doesn't stay in the phone, turns off and wont turn on again unless the battery sim is taken out first. Buttons change what function they are supposed to do which makes it impossible to actually do anything especially make a call or text!! Memory is very low! Gets very hot! Scratches too easily! I really HATE this phone and want to get it changed!!
