It’s a shame because it’s a decent looking phone, but everything I’ve heard is that it’s the biggest piece of junk. A co-worker was just in my office saying how she had to get to Verizon to buy one for her daughters birthday. I’ll bet that thing is obliterated by the end of the week.

THESE LG SHINES ARE PIECES OF CRAP. I HAVE THE PHONE FOR 3 WEEKS AND THE SCREEN CRACKED. I PAID THE $50 INSURANCE FOR A REPLACEMENT AND HAD IT A WEEK AND THE SCREEN BROKE ON THE NEW ONE. I NEVER DROPPED IT OR ANYTHING. IT BROKE WHEN I PUT PRESSURE ON IT WHILE OPENING IT. THESE PHONES SUCK. AT@T SAYS IT IS PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I’D LIKE TO SHOVE THIS PHONE UP LG’S A**.

I bought the Shine three months ago and I went through two Shines already. First one: A large black spot appeared on the screen and they gave me a new one. Last night I flipped it open and the screen looked like a laser light show on pause… all sorts of random colors and shapes filled the screen. Brought it to the store where I bought it and the verdict: Bleeding screen. No insurance, no replacement… buy another phone. I now have to cough up another $200+ for yet another phone. THE SCREEN ON THE LG SHINE IS GARBAGE AND BREAKS WAY TO EASILY. YOU ARE WARNED.

Mine also cracked after only having it for like a week, AT&T we’re not at all helpful the workers at the store told me I had to wait 60 days to file an insurance claim and when I talked to the customer service reps they couldn’t even pull up my account and said that my number didn’t even exist! AT&T Has the worst sevice so don’t break your shine if you purchase one, you better keep it safe 24/7.

I am ANGRY as well!!! I had this phone for 7 days. I put it in my pocket and got it out… broken!!! How is a screen that breaks if you touch it not a defect!? $150 down the drain. Speaking with ATT as I type this.

Never try it yet. But I like the color though. Remind me of IPod… mmmhhh… dazzling white…

I am so angry I bought this phone.. and spent $300. My screen also cracked and is completely black. I’ve only had it three weeks and haven’t even dropped it!!!! I tried to take it back within the 30 day limit and they told me they couldn’t accept it. They told me since I have insurance with AT&T I could buy another one for $50. I don’t want the same phone though!!! How is this phone so popular still? I should be able to throw my phone across the room and nothing happen to it. I can’t even figure out how it cracked. I keep it in a special place in my purse. I shouldn’t have to worry about my phone like someone would worry about fine china getting broken. I want my money back.

How could I hate the new LG Shine? Well, probably I’ll just hate it because I am not used to this kind of device. Hmmh, prefer not choose this brand. Useful information anyway. Keep it up!
