LG Shine (KU970) compared to the most popular

Compare to top rated mobile phones »

Product name	LG Shine (KU970)	Samsung Omnia II (I8000)	Nokia N900	Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7 Very good	7.7 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	A worthy successor to the popular Chocolate series, the ultra-chic design of the KU970 will appeal to both sexes, but its average Joe feature set and dodgy scroll wheel don't impress. If you can forgo 3G and HSDPA connectivity, the KE970 looks like a better choice with a microSD expansion card slot.	Though some may shun Windows Mobile because of other newer operating systems out there, there's no denying that the Omnia II presents great value-for-money compared with most other touchscreen smartphones.
