(7.9/10)	CNET.co.uk “Unlike many phones that feel like toys made from cheap plastic, the Shine feels strong and well built. It's slightly heavier than most phones we've seen recently, but this only adds to the sensation that you've got a quality product in your hand. At only 14mm thick, it slips easily into a pocket.” Read the CNet.co.uk LG KE970 Shine review
