    LG VX8700 Launched on Verizon: Good News

    LG Shine Heading to Europe, US

    LG's shiny metallic slider, the Shine, is finally heading toward the States some time in '07. Part of its "Black Label" series of phones, which includes the Chocolate, the Shine features a 2-megapixel camera, a scroller, Bluetooth and MP3 playback. The Black Label, by the way, is a fancy way of saying "this is a pretty phone that doesn't really have a lot of features." More »
