The LG’s family of Shine phones, currently available in slider, candybar, and flip incarnations, will be expanding with a touchscreen device bearing the model number KM555, or more colloquially, the Shine Touch. It’s due to land on Rogers according to internal docs, and TELUS according to the LG Canada spec sheet, but still no official word from either carrier. The Shine Touch is a relatively low-end device – 3 megapixel camera, 3″ WQVGA display, FM radio, Wi-Fi, 3G with quad-band GSM support, S-class UI, and 5 hours of talk time.
It’s not much to look at, and presuming you’ve had a chance to check out the S-Class user interface, navigation on the Shine Touch might be a hard pill to swallow. Still, if you’re looking for something simple but reasonably stylish, Rogers should be getting the LG Shine Touch for $49.99 on a three-year contract, and one would expect TELUS pricing to be in the same ballpark.
