Very good
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.
