LG Electronics unveiled the successor to its popular Chocolate phone, the LG Shine. The new phone comes in a stainless steel casing but it’s only available in Korea at the present time. LG plans to expand its availability early next year.rnrn

The handset features a mirror-like front that hides the LCD screen. It also includes a 2-megapixel camera, expandable slot memory and an MP3 player.

A keyboard is hidden behind the slide. A scroll wheel on the front is made to make navigating easier.

The LG Shine is only 14mm thick.

On the back of the Shine is a 2-megapixel camera with an LED photo light.

Unlike the Chocolate, the camera lens is on the back of phone–not on the slide and not as protected. rnrn
