I wanted a phone that could play mp3s as I didn't have an iPod at the time. So I picked up this phone for $50 plus 2 yr contract. I start to play with it and I notice that the settings seem to reset on the camera evertime I was finished with it. A little annoying but I didn't care. I don't really use my phone to take photos to much. About 2 months later, I plugged my phone into my computer and it said my microSD card needed to be formated. This was weird because I had been using it since I had gotten the phone. It formated and my nice 2 GB microSD changed to a nice 700MB microSD. I tried to put the card in my adapter for the computer to reformat it, but it would only recognize it as 1 GB from then on. Ever since then, everytime I plugged the phone into the computer, it would have a 50% chance of not being recognized or some other problem. What finally drove me to buy another phone (because AT&T refused to replace it) was when I opened it up one day and the LED screen was cracked ON THE INSIDE OF THE SCREEN!!! It became totally unuseable and I lost all my data from the phone because the computer had stopped recognizing it all together by this point. Be careful with this one. It is pretty and shiny, but has a short life span.Engadget Reader50December 27, 2009Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Bought this phone for $40 as a refurb w/ 2yr upgrade via AT&T, 2 days after the phone was released on the American market... (NO idea how they got a refurb 2 days after release...)Anyway, The bluetooth doesn't work (Did work when I bought it...), the phone refuses to remember camera settings (flash, memory location, color effects, etc). This has been a problem that is repeatedly complained about on message boards. And, last but not least, after a year of moderate to average use, the joystick doesn't *CLICK* well and the hinge slides freely.All in all, worth the $40, but not worth wasting my upgrade on... =/Engadget Reader70September 27, 2009Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I've had this phone since December 2007. I just recently added a data plan to it, but more on that later. This is a 3G phone with a 2mp camera and in slider-fashion. The silver finish looks good, which is one of the main reasons why I initially liked it.Beyond looks, the phone has its flaws. First off, the keypad is extremely flat! This doesn't make texting any easier. While it is fine for composing short messages, typing longer ones can just be a pain at times. You get used to it, but it would have liked to seen some better tactile feedback to make it a bit more comfortable. Secondly, this phone has suddenly shut down on me on several occasions. I then needed to remove the battery and turn it on again. There was no malfunction, but irritating at times. The battery door also scratches very easily, so don't expect it to remain in pristine condition forever. However, the Shine does have a nice 2mp camera, which I've taken several nice shots with. I save them on my micro SD card and load them to my computer, which is very convenient. Also, the phone handles web browsing pretty decently, even though it is not meant for heavy use. I had Opera Mini on this phone and just started using it. I liked it so much I decided to add the $10 at&t data plan (convenient when on the go/in emergency). It is perfectly adequate for checking mobile sites, such as Google, Amazon, and Yahoo, but it can also render full sites, which is quite nice. The phone can also handle different applications. I downloaded TinyTwitter (java-based Twitter client) and it works fine. Also, I downloaded a Gmail app, and checking and refreshing my inbox is easy to do, although when composing messages, it takes a couple more seconds. No biggie, considering I'm using a dumbphone. Overall, after have this phone for nearly two years, I've learned to like it for what it is and all it can do. Is it perfect? Not at all. But for what it can do, I am happy and even impressed at times with my LG Shine.
