If you want a cellular phone with glamour and at the same time with advanced multimedia features, then the LG CU729 Shine is for you. It comes in three different colors to choose from: Red, Silver, or Black. When you are a minimalist, sophisticated and at the same time maximizing the use of your mobile phone, then choose black.

This mobile phone has a unique 2.2 Wide Mirror External LCD. A feature you can hardly see from other mobile phones in the market today. However, it is not a touch screen. It can display up to 176 x 220 pixels with over 65,536 colors. When the mobile phone goes idle, it reflects a reflective mirror. It is thin and a sliderphone with 12-Key Numeric keypad. With a 3.9 (H) x 2.0 (W) x 0.6 (D)-inch dimension, it only weighs 4.2 oz. The body comes in a solid stainless steel that makes it very sturdy for handling. It comes with a standard battery which is a 900 mAh Li-Ion that can go up to 3 hours usage time. Standby time can go up to 10 days and 10 hours.

Other accessories includes an AC charger, a headset, a stereo headset, a bluetooth headset, a bluetooth stereo headset, bluetooth stereo speakers, a vehicle power charger, and a carrying case. These are all included in the phone package.

It also has a 2.0 Megapixel Camera with video. This is enough to produce images at 1600 x 1200 resolution. Meaning that the maximum print size is 4 x 6 inches. However, the zoom type feature is not available in this phone but you can take pictures with a flash. The camera lens type is a CCD. You can also capture videos up to 30 seconds only. It has a video playback and streaming is also available. You can also share your videos because of its video sharing feature. You can also access music and voice via the Bluetooth function. Viewing clips through CV is possible with the 3G network. Other functions such as the usual messaging includes IM using AOL, Yahoo, ICQ and MSN, MMS and Mobile Email.

The phone is a Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE world phone. You can use this phone anywhere in this world. You can call and receive calls, send and receive text messages when you are outside your country. However, you may not be able to use the email and mobile web features.

Most people rate this phone from 77 to 80. Some complains or reception problems blaming the steel casing on the back of the phone. Therefore, it requires that you hold the phone correctly since the antenna is located at the bottom of the handset near the microphone. A bad design if you come to think of it. The joystick is also an issue which some finds it delayed and difficult to use for navigation. But it is undeniably good looking that comes with good features. So think about it when buying one.
