The AT&T LG Shine(TM) was my third LG phone and I loved it! It is a great phone for clumsy people like myself. I dropped it so much and both the screen and phone never broke! I’m usually impatient too so the shine made my life easier. You can click certain numbers to automatically go to certain things in your menu screen such as pics, vids, txt inbox, etc (like speed dialing for your menu). That’s probably one of the features I’ll miss the most. The memory is amazing! I took so many pictures and still had a lot of memory.
Although I loved it I could live without a few things. The AT&T LG Shine(TM) was heavy and very bulky. The battery life would last less than a day so you have to charge it often or talk/text less. The reason why I’m not using my shine now (even though it lasted one and half years) is because I was having charging issues. I would have to play with the charger chord so that my phone would charge. I think it was just my phone though…
Over all I highly recomend this phone for clumsy and impatient people. although it is bulky, it is way better than it breaking when you drop it."
