The LG Shine has all the basic phone features you would expect in a phone. The phone offers Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP, games, document viewer, PIM functions and a world clock.
The Shine supports A2DP (stereo over Bluetooth) technology. Since the version is Bluetooth 2.0 the range and quality is excellent. More about the music player will be discussed under the audio section of the review.
The Shine comes with two games pre-installed. The first one is called bubble soccer and is the exact same game as bust-a-move. The second game is fishing mania which I still do not understand how to play. You can also download new games straight to your phone from you service provider or copy them over using your computer.
The built in document viewer works great. You can view all Microsoft office files even Powerpoint presentations. You can also zoom in and out very easily and scroll in any direction using the D-pad. Viewing files is great but there is no feature to edit them which would have been an added bonus.
The LG Shine has a great 2 mega-pixel camera. The camera has a built in flash which is very bright and works great for night pictures. The camera also has auto focus which in my opinion makes a big difference in picture quality. When using the camera on the Shine, pictures look average. When you copy them to your computer and view them in full screen you can really appreciate the quality.
There are many great PIM functions available on the Shine. The PIM functions include: alarm clock, calendar, calculator, memo, stop watch and unit converter. The unit converter is a great helpful application in which you can calculate; currency, area, length, width, temperature, volume and surprisingly even velocity. Another cool feature in the LG Shine is the world clock application. You can view the time almost anywhere in the world and the application is very visually appealing.
