LG Shine might be better than an iPhone

Is it over yet? Seriously. Are we iOver all the iHype for the iPhone?

iHopeso. And if not, perhaps there is something that can convince you otherwise.

The LG Shine has a 2 megapixel camera with flash, 1 gig embedded memory, an mp3 player and all the other usual cellphone contents. Of course, the best thing about the Shine is that it has a super shiny sliding cover that can double as a mirror.

Because you know if the one characteristic that's going to make or break your decision to buy a cell phone, it's whether or not you can use it to apply lip gloss.

1. You are holding it up to your face. Thus, you are going to face-grease or foundation the phone each time you answer it.

2. It's a slider, so even if you put it in some sort of case and use only the Bluetooth headset to talk the front face is gonna get silty in day-to-day use.

Needless to say, the reflective service is gonna be about as handy as tinfoil smoothed over the back of a hairbrush after a half year. There is a reason compacts have snap-close lids, and thus it is boggling that this phone that is marketing itself on being a pocket mirror doesn't snap shut.

Just for a woman. Hummm I can see the Lib's all over this one.... No NO I think I'm incorrect on this one for MOST LIB'S are women and thats ok FOR them. But they would hoot and holler unfair if it was a cell phone for JUST MEN...

Men can still use this phone to pick their teeth or check their noses for boogers.

Looks like the mirror part may be on the inside when phone is closed. If so, not a bad idea.

This is ridiculous! How vane can you get. Leave the mirror off and lower the price of the phone. You do not need a mirror to put lip gloss on or even lipstick. The company should use the extra money for the phone to give to a charity that feeds hungry children.

Karen 7-23-2007 @ 6:59PM

There will someday be a phone shaped like a dildo, that will be big seller especially the vibrating model

Karen 7-23-2007 @ 7:17PM

this just proves you could sell anything to a woman---even a piece of poop so long as you wrap it up in a a silverbox with a pretty pink ribbon!

Let's be realistic, if you looked like me, you'd want a mirror too. this isn't just for women. on the other hand, it does smack of high school just a tad, I wonder if you can have one of these installed in your shoes..
