LG CU720 Shine - red (AT&T) Reviews From mobiletechreview

Pro:
Great looking phone if shiny is your thing. Multitasking experience is great on the LG and playing videos in strong 3G coverage areas is a joy. Excellent web browser by feature phone standards. 2.0 megapixel cameras has very good performance.

Con:
Fingerprints will dull your shine. Display is hard to see in sunlight. Joystick control isn’t great for some games. We wish the battery were a little longer.

LG CU720 Shine - red (AT&T) Reviews From cnet

The good: The LG Shine CU720 is a very attractive slider handset with 3G support, a nice array of multimedia features, and good call quality.

The bad: The LG Shine CU720 has a tiny and very sensitive navigation joystick, plus a flat and crowded keypad.

The bottom line: Though we had a few quibbles with the phone’s design, overall we were pleased with the LG Shine CU720’s impressive style and feature set.
