LG VX8700 Shine / User Reviews

You know, this phone wasn't that bad. It was the first phone I ever had. It could text well without a problem. The camera was nice. The phone quality was nice. The only thing that didn't work with mine (I don't know if it was the particular phone I had or the model in general) was that... More

Had it for 2 years, working as a field tech, I've dropped it a hundred times, treated it bad, and put it through more than regular wear and tear. I needed to write this cause It's the best one I've ever had.
Last week I dropped it into the tub filled with water, I pulled it out within... More

Small form factor, and easy to text with. It doesn't have predictive text, but it has a quick 'word'-mode entry style. It looks great too.

Had my phone sent away 3 times and then just shortly after my 1 yr warranty ran out the speaker broke it did this on my phone and my bfs(we have thee same phone). Its horrid dont reccomend at all! Sad part is we are easy on phones

worst phone ever made - dropped calls, no service, searching for network.
get a can and string ,,!!

Here's a list a stuff I hate about that phone that you should consider before buying it:
- No "T9", only "word" mode so texting is a pain in the ass since you constantly have to jump between "word" and "abc"
- keys are all flat, so it's impossible to... More

I am sad to be replacing it this weekend. :( It's been surprisingly tough for an LG phone, especially considering how clumsy I am.

THINGS THAT BROKE
Camera (broke after 2 years): I know two other Shine users. All three of us had our cameras break in the same way -- "Camera Start Error".... More

Worts phone I've had. I have had it for a year, and within that year I already had to have it fixed twice for a very high price. First time the speaker was broken, and the second time it just wouldnt turn on. And now the speaker has broken once again. I would never buy this phone again, or recomend... More

I got this about a year ago when I moved. What I first noticed is that the phone wouldn't ring when we were trying to find it (got packed away) so we spent a while finding it. THen it went to my bro's work and the screen is scratched up and you can see it. THen I was getting a call, it was... More

We had three of these phones and every one of them failed in less than a year, one in as little as six months.

ha what an awful phone- had it for 5 months and the camera broke "camera start error" many shine users run into the same problem, took it back and they replaced it only for the same problem to come back a couple months later- gave up on the camera and just used it for the phone, last month... More

i loved this phone so much! the detail was great, the battery was great, and the sound was great, plus it was durable. but the one thing that i didn't like about it was that once you got a scrach on it, it was pretty clear that there was scrach on it.

Have had this phone for almost a year. Last couple of months, while charging the phone, it turns itself back on and almost continually beeps. Have gone through sounds on/off, etc. While doing this, it won't charge the phone. Have pulled battery, ran phone down, etc. still most annoying! Texting,... More

I live in a fringe area for reception, and almost every call is dropped. I get one bar at best, while others get 2 or 3. Too bad, because I love everything else about it. Kinda like owning a a Maserati that stalls every time you step on the gas... beautiful, but not much good. If you live in a high reception... More

I have had this phone for almost 3 years, and it just started giving me problems. Sometimes when I answer I can't hear the person on the other end, but they can hear me so I have to tell them I will call them back or to text me. Also a while a go the camera stopped working, but it is fine now (I... More

I've had my phone for 1 year and a half and I have change it. When I tried to setup my bluetooth it never worked even with a new phone. When I have activated the bluetooth the batterie didn't last more then a day.

All the other fetures worked perfectly.

I bought this phone 2 years ago and its bluetooth function never works. It cannot find any bluetooth device around.

When I first got this phone, I absolutely loved everything about it! Great design- sleek, modern, didn't look like any other phone I'd ever seen. Everything was working very well except for my camera: I had to get it fixed but it was under my warranty. About a year after I got it (of course,... More

I`ve had this phone for about almost a year, had a few problems, was replaced once through warranty.

PROS
LCD on outside - lets you view the camera and take pictures, text alert, call display and when you send a text message and close the phone, it shows the text sending on the outside. 2.0 MP camera... More

I loved this phone for the first year I had it. Two weeks later (so literally 2 weeks out of my warranty period) the sound stops working. I can't hear anything from the phone, and of course the company wouldn't help repair it without extremely high prices. If I didn't need sound for... More
