LG Shine KE970 Mobile Phone

[Wizno]

The Shine is a slider and the keypad is as such situated behind the screen
when it is not in use and it simply slides out below the screen to reveal the
keypad. If you have used a recent Motorola in the RAZR family, then you will be
familiar with the kind of keypad that LG outfitted the Shine with. It is not as
tactile as a normal keypad, but it is not as bad as a touch screen. When it comes to
phone keypads, the same rules applies as it does to PC input peripherals, there is a
lot of personal preference that goes into your choice.



You generally do not have to use the keypad, as apart from the call buttons, the
clear button and the number pad, all other controls are located below the screen and
you can use these to make calls from your contact list. There are two soft keys that
correspond to the menu options on the screen. The main control consists of a scroll
wheel – or scroll key as LG wants to call it – with a button on each side of it. The
scroll wheel works very much like that one a mouse, but due to its size, it is not
as responsive as it should be and there did not seem to be a setting to change the
sensitivity. The buttons on each side of the scroll wheel are used to go left or
right in the menus, while the scroll wheel is for up and down navigation as well as
making selections.
