Red LG ShineWell folks the LG Shine in red now lives on AT&T. As expected, it is available for $99 after $50 mail-in rebate and with your signature on AT&T’s 2-year contract. The image on the right shows you how the device looks, and I like it… that’s actually I like it when it’s closed. Why oh why has LG decided to use gray buttons is beyond me. Maybe some people will find it attractive. Scrap that – what do you think ladies? This is one phone made for you. Do you like it or just can’t stand the fugly buttons?

And before I let you go, don’t forget AT&T will also launch the Samsung BlackJack 2 and BlackBerry Curve 8310 in red anytime soon. Maybe it’s wise to wait…

  • love the red

    I ordered my LG Shine today and am so excited to get it! I LOVE the ruby red color and have read nothing but great reviews. I think the gray buttons are a good choice. I’ve seen images of the LG Shine Red with red buttons, it really looked horrible. In short, the gray buttons may not look great but they look a whole lot better than red buttons, IMO.

    :sad: I dont know whether i should get the shine or not. It will be my first one that i will have for a pretty long time. Does it have lots of camera space? HELP! :shock:

    I just bought my LG Shine today. I love it. Its a great phone. The screen gets a little smudgy form constantly pushing it up but thats the only complaint I have. I thought it would be hard to text with but it’s actually really easy. The round button takes a little getting used to but it only took me a couple hours. Its really easy. I love the camera too. It’s really sharp, and takes great pictures. I also love the settings theres so many choices of what you want everything to be like its ridiclous. It’s a really great phone, i was hesitant at first because my plan is for 2 years, but i can already tell its going to be great.
