US Release

Anyone hear when this will be available in US? What carrier?
Well, according to CES, we ain't getting anything soon. The original slider is Europe only. F**K LG. It's the iPhone now.

Kinda Large

Is it just me or does the shine look rather large in size. I think the phone looks awesome and does have a huge screen but it looks pretty big. Anyone else?
I thought the same thing at first, but now that I look at it, I'm not so sure its as large as it appears, the woman holding it seems very small. While I do think it is larger than average, I think the combo of that and the person holding it should bot...

Change the name

The name of the phone will have to change IF it ever hits American shores. 'Shine' is a racial slur against African Americans.

Neat phone though...
comes to mind. Off the "Confucius Says" CD: Kid who slides down bannister, makes monkey shine. (Some of the taboos were different in his day)

Hopefully the ethnic marketing consultants/telecom employee affinity groups are hip to this.
...Um, ok, so you didn't find the "chocolate" moniker of their last product to be offensive. Come on man, I'm an African American. Nigerian, of the Ebo tribe to be exact. I think we're all getting a little too sensitive about the wrong subject matt...

LG still kinda blows

I'm not impressed. I'm going to stick with my KRZR, RAZR, SLVR, and RIZR. Wooo
razrs blow
The KRZR is one of the most pointless phones I've seen yet and I've had Moto and LG. But I'm sorry, the KRZR shows me nothing of surprise, the screen is too small, the outer keys have no purpose unless already playin and an iffy camera. I think with t...

LIke it or not, LG is still total garbage

Their dated UI (way worse than Motorola's) , bugs galore, and second-rate features.

Motorola's got these guys schooled in the fashion phone realm. (The chocolate has too many afterthought design decisions, like the speaker location)
you are def right!! even the speaker phone feature had to be downloaded and even that just came weeks ago
Well first of all LG makes phones just as good as any other.. How could it be total garbage? Garbage is wrappers and stuff you dropped on the floor and wont eat.. LG is making phones that people want very badly... I owned the vx7000 and now the vx9...

Carrier

What will be the carrier for this phone?
Hard to say at this point because, with the SIM card slot it could go Cingular, BUT it's not hard to remove that for Verizon...I can venture a bet that it's between those two...t-mobile has no chance and Sprint..well sprint has bigger issues right now...

Verizon Wireless. Because we get all the cool LG phones. 😎

LG continues to impress

LG is on a roll. I have had several LG's and not one has dissappointed at all. I think that I may be a fanboy.
Personally, my favorite LG that I owned was the LG7000 on Verizon. Even with the Verizon UI, I thought that this phone fit my needs flawlessly
Ah, the good old VX7000. 🙂

helio?

Hmm.... think helio might be getting this phone? I heard since on of their phone manufacturers went out of business LG might jump in and make some phones for them. Any thoughts?

launch date????

DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A LAUNCH DATE YET???
always the first question asked...and the last one answered.



probably 10-12 months from now would be a guess ;)
First quarter in Korea, and if it is successful, everywhere else after.
I'd say a year to a year and a half. But it may be like 10 years from now. 😳

hrm

This doesn't seem that revolutionary. At least not when you look at the RAZR and Chocolate. It is a slider, made of metal. The only real difference I see between this and the chocolate is the material.

Features are a moot point because they can change before the phone gets here.

I think it will sell well, but I don't think it will be as impacting as other phones.
I disagree. It's not often you get a "metallic" phone and definitly not the "mirror lcd". As long as the features stay through to US deployment, the phone will hit better than Chocolate because...they learned to have the speakerphone feature enabled f...
