LG KE970 Shine Reviews

great style but hard to navigate with the touch screen

The mobile has a great style but the only thing is that its hard to navigate with the touch screen. If you want to call a certain person it sometimes scrolls down to the next person and calls them instead. Its not as easy as other phones eg Nokia to text and doesnt have as many games on as other phones.

slide works very well and doesn't seem to get worse with age

Good phone overall, slide works very well and doesn't seem to get worse with age. Like the fact it has memory card slot as some phone's of the same age range haven't. Camera quality is really good & I like the fact you can make folders for different pics etc.

my second handset, happy with it, frustrated by the locking feature though

I like this phone, I now have my second one, the only problems I have had with this phone is the ringer on it was really quiet on the first one I had, the slide on the phone made it lock but on the second on it doesn't seem to do that? I have taken it into shops to see if I can have it sorted to lock but they dont seem to know how to do it and for that matter no one does. Other than that I found it really easy to use, the camera on it is really good too

looks the part but found the features poor

I was quite let down by my phone, it looked the part but some of the features on it I found quite poor, the high volume on it wouldnt wake a mouse and I cant change my text sound alerts to my own tunes, you have to use the ones stored in the phone.

The worst thing was I bought it to use with my laptop only to be told after I entered into the contract that its not actually compatible with my laptop.

if you like a pretty mobile phone go for it

Well I first noticed this phone because of the mirror screen, which is pretty handy (if your quite vain like myself!) However when I bought it I was expecting a reliable phone which to be quite honest I couldnt say it is.

As soon as this phone touches water it turns itself of and can take a couple of hours to sort itself out, also when you push back down the screen it occasionally turns off which is really quite irritating.

However if you can put up with that the phone is a bit of eye candy, you wont a find a much nicer looking phone, the camera is actually quite good even thought its only 2.0 Mega Pixel, I would also suggest buying a memory card for the phone if there is not one supplied.

It has a decent MP3 so its worth storing some music on there, however the speakers on the phone are not as loud as the likes of Sony Ericsson.

Friends had advised me not to buy this phone as the screen tends to scratch easily (and I drop phones alot) but I have had this phone for 3months and not a scratch on it as long as you try not to drop it as much as possible it is ok.

The screen is quite hard to see in sunlight however because of the glare on it. Overall I would say dont buy it if your looking for reliability, but if you like a pretty mobile go for it.

Design is very stylish without being over the top, no gimmicks

I have had this phone for just over a year now, having seen one in an Orange shop I desperately wanted one, I nicknamed it Tinkle as I liked the 'tinkly' noises it made, sad I know lol.

I was really chuffed when I eventually got one a couple of months later. The design is very stylish without being over the top, no gimmicks.

It is easy to use, however, a year on and I still forget where to find certain things within the menus.

The speakerphone volume is great, however when talking on speakerphone some people struggle to hear what is being said so I have to talk normally again.

The screen is great colourwise and size-wise, trouble is try using it outside in daylight and you can't see it for toffee, even shielding the screen doesn't help much so its recommended you use out of direct sunlight.

Memory is expandable but Ive never bothered with it. The 2.0 megapixel camera is pretty good, as is the video recorder.

As much as I liked this phone last year, I wouldnt buy another one. I will go back to something I know inside out, like a Nokia.

Very attractive phone, good camera and video, recommend a cover though

Very sleek attractive phone, good camera and video functions. Easy to use and really easy to access internet and email on the move. The only thing I would recommend is to get a decent cover for it as it scratches quite easily which really ruins the look of the phone.

All in all a nice looking phone which is fairly easy to use

Great looking phone with basic features. The major issue with the phone is that when you send an sms and there is no signal the sms sits in your outbox with no retries.. rather frustrating. Navigation around the menus could be slicker but all in all a nice looking phone which is fairly easy to use.

Buttons are inset into the phone so texting and dialing can be a little difficult

A great looking phone, which even when dropped doesn't break due to the hard wearing metal case.

The scroll bar is easily moved so can confuse things, also the buttons are inset into the phone so texting and dialing can be a little difficult.

The camera is good as long as it's the right light conditions and your not moving. Overall a pretty good bog standard phone.

Never had an LG phone before and was pleasantly surprised

Sleek shiny phone, looks great and functions easy to use, the camera is also very good.

Would encourage anyone thinking of buying this phone to purchase a good leather protective case as the screen can be easily scratched or damaged and the case will obviously prevent this. Screen doubles as a mirror - handy!

Navigation of controls easy to understand, I have never had an LG phone before and was pleasantly surprised. Would class it as a girls phone.

Nice sleak look to it, but does have a few bad points

Not a bad little phone for the price, it's got a nice sleak look to it, but does have a few bad points. The roll button is not that easy to get used to and I usually end up going into the wrong menu. It's also very hard to see the screen when outside in the sun as it has a mirror screen, not very useful and hampers the screen when looking through the phone. Overall concidering the price, the looks and the fuctions not a bad phone at all.

A very slick and sexy phone

This is a very slick and sexy phone, its relatively easy to use. It has an excellent camera with a Scnider branded lens. Its great if you like style, it also has a memory card slot, MP3 player, Camera, Video, Internet, email, games, calculator and a stopwatch. I think its light, sexy and doubles as a mirror.

Constantly have to clean the screen

I really like this phone, I find it easy to use, the only annoying thing is you constantly have to clean the screen (which is a mirror when shut) you slide this up to use the phone ~ meaning you constantly have finger prints on there. However don't let this put you off, its a good phone.

Its a really good phone. Its light weight, the camera is great, a built-in 2 megapixel camera with 4x zoom, Bluetooth, and an MP3 player too. Doesnt have much memory space so an SD card is well recommended. The screen is 128x160 and also a very handy a mirror.
