Remember that super sexy LG Shine phone that our very own Chris Davies was so enamored with some months ago? Well, no longer will it be exclusive to Korea, as LG plans to introduce it to the European and North American market at the upcoming CES. In their effort to make it a big bash for the sleek stainless-steel Shine, the LG folks plan to setup a booth made entirely of stainless steel. We’ll be sure to drop by on the 8th.
Named appropriately for its shiny mirror-like façade and stainless steel casing, the Shine features a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and an MP3 player on a compact sliding phone. It also has a unique scroll wheel on the front for easy navigation.
The GSM version will be released in Europe in the first quarter of 2007 and soon thereafter in the rest of Asia and the United States. No pricing information yet.

Spoke to reps over at LG corporate and unfortunately the LG “shine” will not be coming to the USA. I was extremely disappointed to hear this.

Looks like I’ll be one of the few people who will have one. I bought one off ebay whereas anyone could but I’m happy that I finally will have a phone that less people have. I HATE that feeling like when someone else shows it off and even though you have it you’re like, “I have that too, it’s not that rare” which is what happened to me and the blackberry pearl. xD
