LG KE970 Shine
It’s a Shine. LG have a serie of mobile phones which names “Shine”. It’s just two models - LG KE970 and LG KE770. Now we’ll look on a first model - slider - LG KE970. Why Shine? This cell phone made by metal, even its display in stand-by mode looks like metallic. On a first look it’s hard to understand what form-factor this mobile phone have, so strange and not-familiar looks buttons on the front. Middle button is not even button - it’s scroller. Two buttons around it looks like scrollers too, but it’s not true - they’re just buttons. And, finally, two buttons else, looks like small lines - it’s function buttons.
How srange this mobile phone looks, that’s easy it to use. Metallic case and buttons make this cell phone easy to touch and feel in the hand. Scroller-button make the menu indifferent and simple. 4 function buttons make easy-to-get main functions you want out of the menu, in the main screen. Let’s now look on a features.
Display - TFT, 2.2”, 320×240 resolution, 262k colors
Camera - 2 Mpx, Schneider optics, with built-in flash

Additional functionality - many supported media formats (MP3, AAC, AAC+, AAC++, MPEG4, H.263), Bluetooth with A2DP (stereo music), WAP, MMS, USB (to connect mobile phone to computer; also you can use Bluetooth)
Saying about this cell phone, I must say that it’s good competitor to other slider design models of LG, such as LG KE800 Chocolate. Price of LG KE970 is about 350-450 dollars.
LG KG280 Chocolate Light
The next cell phone will be a designer’s (I mean a human for who design is most important
) choice. It’s a small mobile slider from LG - a corporation with, IMHO, big and good future. It’s new LG KG280 - also named “Chocolate Light”. This cell phone was made especially for whom functionality is no matter - it’s just beautiful. It have a sensor buttons on a front pannel and they are flashes with red color. Black, red and silver - it’s a main colors of front of the LG KG280. These colors make me want this phone!
Inside mobile phone we can see the 4 rows of straight, square buttons. They separated by thin lines and clearly touched by fingers. The phone in closed or in open state perfectly lies in a hand. Surface of the LG KG280 is covered with lacquer, but not ordinary lacquer - it’s not make the cell phone slip out of hand, it’s fine! Oh, well, I almost forget - I must tell you about functions of this phone.
Display - TFT 65k colors
Camera - 0.3 Mpx
Memory card slot - No.
Additional - Bluetooth, MP3, WAP, MMS.
I said that the LG KG280 is not a enemy of a functionality phones, no, it will do a great competition for all designer’s phones. It’s almost perfect - greatly lies in a hand, beutifully looks and simply in use. And, of course, it’s price - it’s really low, about 100-150 dollars. This cell phone, LG KG280 will be very popular.
