Is the LG Shine slide phone good?

okay I have one and they rock! all my friends are jealous too. whatever on that whole battery thing! they are really cool

I wouldn’t recommend the lg shine. I just got it 3 days ago and I already had a huge problem. I haven’t used it more than anyone else has and the battery over heated. I went to pick it up and it was so hot I burnt my finger. The lithium ion batteries that come with the phone I guess can over heat and cause fires. Luckly I got to it fast enough. The battery was literally expanding, the back of the phone was bulging up, I thought it was going to explode. and I guess this is really common for lithium ion batteries, so I wouldn’t recommend this phone.

This phone looks absolutely gawjus to me and I am thinking about getting one. The phone generally looks hot and I would kill for something so cute! All I’ve heard is that the scroller sucks when you try to text… But personally, what the hel do you need the scroller for when you text anyways???

They aren’t overally expensive and I’ve heard they have a lot of fantastic features. It’s said to be versatile and able to withstand hard knocks. What a totally cute phone!!

Its alright. The buttons are just really small, thats the only thing I don’t like about that phone. Other then that it looks cool.

go on google and type in lg shine and go to images they are reallly nice

My friend has that phone. She’s had it for a little while now, I think its really neat and when I finally need to get a new phone I wouldn’t mind something like that. The buttons feel neat to press to me, and the shiny screen looks quite wicked - from certain angles in the sunlight, someone next to you can’t see your screen and so can’t see what you’re writing which can be really good from a privacy perspective. Its quite easy to use too in my opinion - certainly better than my phone. She’s never had any trouble with it.

She’s recently discovered its quite robust too - she accidentally spilt contact lens cleaner on it in her handbag, with the liquid going into her phone. The screen had what looked like water stains for a few days, but the liquid appears to have dried into shiny little clumps in such a way that it looks as if she has a 2nd wallpaper on her phone of little stars which is actually quite neat. And yes, it still works perfectly.

you probably got the phone already but just wanted to put my 2 cents in… I really like the lg shine but there is another huge defect… the lcd lens screen loves to just randomly crack in your pocket you may only see half the screen for a day or less before it all goes black. 120 pics, 19 videos, 4 speed dials… I can only use it for the speed dials luckily.
