LG Will ‘Shine’ At CES
LG’s successor to Chocolate, known as Shine, has been wowing ‘em since October in South Korea (the only place they are officially available) and on websites like this one, where we all wonder out loud why Korea gets all the coolest handsets first.
We may not have much longer to wait for this one. LG’s slick slider with the 2 megapixel camera, aluminum brightwork and the mirror-finished screen coat is now expected to get an official rollout at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show next week in Vegas. The news conference is Sunday at 8AM, if you’re in the neighborhood.
But hold the phone. This handset retails in South Korea for the U.S. equivalent of about $650. Even if a major U.S. GSM carrier such as T-Mobile or Cingular decides to market this handset, with incentives for a long term deal, it’s going to be at the high end of the high end of their handset lineup.
When Motorola RAZRs are practically being given away, how much would you be willing to fork over for this puppy?
