Reviews of the LG KE970 Shine (Unlocked)

    CNET Review

    March 22, 2007

    The Good: The LG Shine KE970 cell phone is certainly attractive. It also has decent call quality and a great camera.

    The Bad: The LG Shine KE970 has a flat, poorly designed dialpad, unintuitive Talk and End keys, and an average speakerphone. Battery life was somewhat low, and the mirrored front catches fingerprints easily.

    The Bottom Line: Though it wasn't always easy to use, the LG Shine KE970 is a pretty phone with decent performance. We just wouldn't recommend paying full price.

    Review Summary: No one could claim that the LG Shine KE970 isn't a gorgeous and fantastically styled phone, but its beauty goes only skin deep. Usability is beyond awkward and we'd have liked to have seen some 3G functionality in such a high-end phone.
