Description: Performance
We tested the triband (GSM 900/1800/1900) Shine in the San Francisco area using T-Mobile service. Call quality was quite clear, with little distortion or feedback. Voices sounded natural, and we enjoyed enough volume. Callers didn't report many problems either, though they said the KE970 picked up a fair amount of wind noise. Also, automated calling systems could understand us all the time. Speakerphone calls were less satisfactory. On our end, the sound was muffled and callers reported likewise. Calls with the included wired headset and a Bluetooth headset were fine. Just keep in mind that since the Shine doesn't support the GSM 850 band, reception will diminish in rural areas.

Audio quality on the MP3 player was loud and clear for the most part. It's not enough to replace your standalone MP3 player, but it had little of the tinny sound we encounter in other MP3 phones. We liked that you could use your own headphones.

The Shine has a rated talk time of three hours and a promised standby time of 11.6 days. In our tests, we met the talk time, but that's still a bit low for a GSM phone. According to FCC radiation tests, the LG Shine KE970 has a digital SAR rating of 0.443 watts per kilogram .
