LG Shine- Brightly Pompous.

"Shine like a twinkling star..
ever so beautiful..yet so far..!

Wonder I could name it mine
but there are millions..who too shine.."

This is all about the all new LG Shine; the series of two beautiful creations from the house of LG. All shining, ..more with ostentatious glitz than functional technology assemblage.

With LG Shine, the South Korean electronics giant tries to make millions frenzy with an 'all looks no brains' phone that shines more than working apt. In a rather tell tale propaganda, lets make an entry into the offer list of LG Shine. And voilà .. LG Shine wins half the battle by a overtly stylised mirror finish exterior. A 2 megapixel camera equipped with Schneider-Kreuznach lens comes with with a 2.2'' large screen with resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The screen of both LG KE 970 Shine and LG KU 970 Shine, the 3G supporting twin brother, support 262k colours and offers a sharp and clear viewing facility while giving a stylish mirror effect look while in power-off mode. Both the phones support WAP, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and comes with 8MB memory with options for expandable microSD slot. There are MP3 player and innovative blogger program to aid an user to post and read blogs over internet.

But then, like all good things that end, Shine's positives totter a few blocks forward and meet their end. Rather abruptly to be precise. For a discerning user there remains a shiny masterpiece too attractive to dusts and scratches of all form. Sunken spirit looks farther down on seeing recorded videos on a primeval QCIF mode. Isn't QCIF a passé nowadays? At least for the price segment in which LG Shine is making appearance, there are numbers of other phones especially from Samsung and Nokia that are records video in better formats that results in lesser image compression. The 800 mAh battery seemed to drain quickly on a 3G connectivity and left the users to gasp for more battery charging units around.

In an over all account, to make LG Shine to float in the market, where clever users are hardly letting any chance for ones lesser to dictate, LG needs to look beyond its ostentatious styling that looks more pompous than realistic. Rather than looming large on own falsities, LG Shine needs to be fine-tuned as a package where style runs in complete adherence to the substance. Especially when already there are million others, ready to shine bright and outlast LG Shine in every propositions. There is really no chance for ones lesser.
