Cell
Phones
The
mobile phone, cellular phone, or simply cell phone is a long-range,
portable electronic device used for mobile communication that
uses a network of specialized base stations known as cell
sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone,
current mobile phones can support many additional services
such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for
access to the Internet, and MMS for sending and receiving
photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a
cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in
turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN) (the exception is satellite phones).

of mobile telephones, with a global device market share of

about 75% of all phones sold. A second tier of small manufacturers
exists with phones mostly sold only in specific regions or
for niche markets. The top five in order of market share are
Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, SonyEricsson and LG.
LG
Shine Cell Phones
The
LG KE970 (a.k.a. LG ME970, LG KG70, or LG Shine) is slider-style
mobile phone manufactured by LG Electronics. Originally marketed
in Asia as the LG Cyon SV420, LG expanded the phone to other
markets including the Europe, South America, and parts of
North America.
The
LG KE970 takes on a slider form, featuring a polished-metal
exterior and stainless steel case. The display is a large
2.25-inch (240x320 pixels) screen with an 256,000 colors,
which doubles as a mirror when the screen is not used. Instead
of the touch-sensitive controls found on the LG Chocolate,
it uses a scroll bar for up and down navigation and two buttons
for side to side navigation.
North
America has 2 modified versions of the Shine available. Both
feature a joystick taking the place of scroll wheel. The only
difference between the 2 North American models is that the
Canadian version, offered by Rogers Wireless features a second
VGA camera located on the front of the phone for video calling.
The American version, offered by AT&T does not have this,
since AT&T's network does not support video calling.
