LG KE970 Shine Cell Phones, Mobile Phone

The LG KE970 Shine mobile phone is part of the company's Black Label series, which was launched with the award-winning Chocolate handset. LG's Black Label phones promise a combination of impressive design and technical innovation, so what makes the LG Shine stand out?

Well, the name's a good clue. The handset's slim metallic casing is combined with a large mirrored screen, giving the kind of polished gleam that suggests you've just started your spring cleaning. Below the screen there's a clever scroll key along with a couple of other selection buttons. It's an uncluttered minimalist delight - and is a mere 14mm deep.

Slide down the keypad and the LG KE970 Shine becomes a conventional mobile phone. The high-quality 2.2-inch screen can be used as a viewfinder for the handset's 2 megapixel flash-enabled camera, making this a decent digital snapper. It even looks like a proper digital camera from the back.Without the stunning case and the contemporary styling, the LG KE970 Shine would still be a good camera phone, but thanks to its glossy exterior, it's a remarkable one.
