I hate that it won’t let me set my own ringtones as a text tone!! The 10 pre-set tones are lame… so if anyone knows how to change it let me know! Thanks.

This phone will take a beating. I am rough on phones and this one will scratch but it does have a solid case as stated before. If your buying this to be cool you’re out of luck. Ringtones are a small problem but not unfixable. It tethers great. I don’t have a problem with battery life. This phone is outdated now but after almost a year we are happy with both of ours.

Okay, so, the first phone I had was a Motorola Razr. Upgraded the Razr to a Samsung stupid piece of shit. Upgraded that to the stupid Sony Erickson slim flip shit phone. then I got a free upgrade offer from AT&T. So I was like, “Cool”! Went to the AT&T Kiosk thing at Best Buy. Saw all the free upgrades. They sucked. Except for the LG CU720 (Shine). Picked it up. Looked at it. Left with it ten minutes later. Bought a 2 Gig Micro SD card for it. If you have the Micro SD card and Audacity on your computer, you can make all the ring tones you want. Only problem with that is that the tones have to be 300KB or less. But who has 30 second ring tones these days? Camera = EPIC WIN. With the Micro SD card I can take up to 4000 photos at full quality and size. And they are definitely good quality. Size is awesome. Great video quality. Made a couple YouTube videos with this phone. Sleek design. Kind of heavy compared to some phones these days, but I like the weight of it. It makes it feel as if it was sturdy. Which it is. I also like the metal front and back panels. Helps with the sturdiness. Gets better service than any other phone I have used. The audio quality is pristine. Call quality is more than I expected. And I expected a lot. I am amazed at how awesome the video sharing function. It just blew my mind. Cool theme colors, only wish there were more choices. The only things I dislike about this phone is; You can’t make your own text message tone, it makes gay sounds when ever you do stuff like delete things, the buttons tend to be a little tricky to push, the joystick you need to get used to, and they don’t give you headphones with the damn phone. That’s it. Never had a dropped call, ever. AT&T doesn’t drop there shit. They like there customers. Verizon is always advertising about how they don’t have any “Dead Zones”. AT&T has no Dead Zones. Verizon has more Dead Zones than any other cell phone provider out there. Well, that is, except for Metro PCS. But back to the Shine. LG is the leader in appliances and I think they just won me over in the cell phone business, too. I am a true LG Shine owner. And you should be, too. Well, that’s all I have to say. The phone is one of the best non-smart phones out there. Don’t let fools try to drive you away from it, it’s worth it.

I have the LG Shine CU720. I find it’s a great phone, besides the fact that I can’t put my own ringtones on it. I am trying to convert it to a gm file but I can’t find any websites that will let me do that! Other than that and the screen which is impossible to see in the sun, I think this phone is pretty good. It does not break easily from what I can tell. I have dropped my down a flight of stairs and it still seemed to be functioning properly. I also think the camera on the front and the back is a good idea too, and most phones don’t have that!

Man, I see alot of bad reviews, but this is the best phone for the price I have ever owned. Had mine for three or four months now, I keep it in a case on my belt instead of my pocket and there are no scratches, does not drop calls always loud and clear, love the media package. again, a great phone.
