LG makes calligraphy Shine

Filed under: Cellphones, Design

lg shine

We’ve all seen the LG Shine (LG-SV420), it’s the full silver metal-brushed slider that has caught so much attention that Samsung decided to copy it. Supposedly, the LG Shine design will be used on GSM phones in 2007, LG hopes to repeat the Chololate sensation. This week LG announced a limited Designer’s Edition to the Shiney slider, with beautiful Korean Hangul Calligraphy engraved at the back. See? You can make something look good without copying the RAZR. Take a look at a video we dug up, showing you the Shine in action.

The engravings on the back, I have no idea, but the price would go up, it could be considered a limited edition of sorts to raise the price, and/or the fact that it has the laser engraving that costs money would bulk up the price. Still though it looks pretty cool… just have fun keeping the front surface clean and scratch free.

it is only available in Korea for the Korean EVDO version of LG Shine. Hong Kong has recently released a special edition with engraving dedicated to fans of singer Andy Lau. no plans, news on whether similar campaigns will go to other countries.
