(October 2006)
The LG-SV420 is part of
LG's "Black Label" range, which includes the LG
Chocolate,
although there are many different "Chocolate" handsets in
different markets. So, this Korean CDMA version of the LG Shine
is called the LG-SV420, but any derivative for worldwide markets
would be slightly different.
Really, the LG-SV420 is about looks rather than raw technology.
It's a sleek looking slim slider, which is certainly very shiny
and is nicely alliterative. The large 2.2" screen has a mirrored
effect which complements the overall design. The primary control
is a scroll key arrangement in the middle of the handset, plus a
couple of selector buttons. The LG-SV420's keypad unslides to
reveal a pretty conventional keypad with a discrete checkerboard
pattern.
It does look familiar though, and there's more than a passing
resemblance to the Motorola RIZR complete with a RAZR-style step
at the bottom, but it's a far more polished (ahem) design that
gives the LG Shine an edge over the competition.
Underneath, the LG-SV420 is decent enough but not all that
exceptional, with a 240x320 pixel display, 2 megapixel camera
with flash, 1Gb of memory, an MP3 player and all the usual
stuff. The LG-SV420 is an EV-DO handset (which makes it 3G),
weighing in at 115 grams and measuring 94x51x14mm - which isn't
too bad. Talktime is around 3 hours with up to 3 days standby
time. You can expect any worldwide version of the LG Shine to be
similarly specified.
As with the Chocolate, the LG Shine is a fairly standard handset with a sprinkling of special features.. but one that looks fantastic. Given that the Chocolate has been a huge sales success in Europe, it's quite likely that any version of the LG Shine would be equally successful, and will be hotly anticipated.
