 AT&T ruined what could have been an amazing phone. July 16, 2008

The Shine KE 970 that is made for the European marked blows this cu720 out of the water. AT&T left out so many features and the functionality is abysmal. They left out an entire protocol (FTP) to transfer files on bluetooth. It cant even connect to my computers as ALL my old phones and their bluetooth would. The speaker phone cuts in and out but its pretty loud..its just annoying. It looks sofisticated but it may as well be a fisher price phone for kids. The camera is flaky and leaves alot to be desired. Its very sad, such a beautiful phone, and I have to return it. If you dont care about anything else but making a call and texting and you get a good deal on it, great. The silver one looks better than the black one did to me.
 GREAT PHONE December 2, 2007

I have had this phone for almost a week and love it. I exchanged the Nokia 6555 for the LG SHINE CU720. I have only charged the LG 1 time so far and the battery is still 1/3 full. I talk about 1.5 hour per day. The reception has been great. The phone itself is beautiful.
PROS:
Beautiful
Battery Life
Reception
CONS:
Learning curve for the menus
Can't feel the difference between buttons because they all connect
Buttons are a little squished
OVERALL A++
After you learn to use the phone it is GREAT! The best phone I've had in awhile.

I have used this product and I am very impressed. The QVGA LCD screen is 2.2-inches wide and it is 240 x 320 resolution showing 262K colors. It has a great feature set that includes a 2 mega-pixel camera w/ flash & video recording, AT&T's video sharing capabilities, music player, XM/streaming radio, 3G, bluetooth and more! Also there's a MicroSD memory slot (up to 4 GB in size). There's lot of personalization options and the 5-way joystick is surprisingly easy to use. The Shine has a thin profile (measures 3.93 x 1.99 x 0.59 inches (WxHxD) and has a very sturdy sliding mechanism and feels good in your hand because of its all metal body. The numeric keypad has a good, tactile click when you use it. I would highly recommend this phone and its well worth the price!
Battery Life HORRIBLE!!!! March 12, 2008

I have no idea why some people say the battery life is decent. I went through THREE brand new SHINE cu720's and every single one was the same. The battery lasted if I was lucky with minimal use one day TOPS! and that was hardly even using it. I hadn't played any music with it, or used the text feature or any video games etc etc. How could three brand new phones be bad? Is that possible? I doubt it. Outside of that I love the phone but such horrible battery life takes so much away from a real nice phone. What good is it? I have to put it on the charger every day without fail.
I conditioned the battery properly by fully charging it as the battery instructions indicated I should do. Don't be fooled if the battery says its charged after a cpl of hours. Its a false reading. Thats what it says in the directions for the battery.
The first few times you should charge it for 24 hours and run it down between charges.
Also the first few times you do this do it with the power OFF. With that said..the battery still couldn't be any worse.
I've been looking around for a second battery but the least expensive I can find a OEM Lithium Ion 900mAh battery for the Shine cu720 is about $35-$40. Bummer.
The other thing is the ring volume is insanely low and the ringtones are seriously lame.
The sound quality is real good while speaking and listening. The camera is pretty good as well and it does zoom but not on the top two resolution settings. The flash does work nicely for what it is.
The look of the phone is really nice and it feels solid and well built.
All the features I found easy to use and I'm pretty pathetic when it comes to puters and electronics so it better be easy out of the box.
I gave it low stars for the ring tone volume but mostly the horrendous battery life!!
I don't do much texting so I can't comment on that.
I do have large fingers and using the keys for dialing is no problem for me nor is scrolling around with the scroll button.
If I could find a second battery for a lot less money I might be a bit happier about owning this phone.
Great Looking Phone - Has Defect! July 30, 2008
K. Jagtiani (NC, USA)

This is a great looking phone, especially the silver. It is easy to use and within minutes I had it configured the way I wanted. I was very impressed with all it's features. However, there is one major problem with it - when you slide the phone down fast and slightly hard - it turns off and you can only get it back on if you power it back on. At first I thought it was my phone that was a lemon and so I returned the phone back to the store, the salesman pulled out a brand new one from the box, put in the battery, turned it on. Slide the phone down - and once again it did the same thing. We went through four phones in the store and they all did the same thing. This appears to be a defect with the phone. A simple google search for "LG Shine turns itself off" will reveal that. LG does not appear to be aware of this issue when I called them. In the meantime, stay away from this phone.
