In a move that seems designed to extend the life of the nowadays not-that-attractive LG Shine slider, Rogers Wireless is adding the device in new color – black. Specs remain the same and include a 2 megapixel camera, QVGA screen, music player, Bluetooth support, microSD memory card slot. In addition, the device is perfectly compatible with Rogers’ Vision plan.

I haven’t been able to locate the device on Rogers’ website, though, but the “regular” Shine TU720 starts from $29.99 on a contract and the special online discount also gives buyers a free Bluetooth headset with the purchase…

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I’d stay away from this phone. While it looks nice at the first sight, the it’s pretty much useless. My friend got one (swears at the day he got it) and my brother in law got one too – same story. The joystick is pretty much useless. If it had a trackball instead of that darn stub – it would be an ok phone but otherwise – it’s a waste. To launch the camera you have to go through the menu – on most phones you just hold the shutter button and the camera launches – not in this case. The euro models have a scrolling “pin” instead of the joystick which seems more intuitive. Just stay away.
