LG's Shine painted red for Valentine's... in the US

LG's Shine mobile phone is popular worldwide, but especially in the US, where it does particularly well on the AT&T network.

It's coming up to Valentine's Day, and that means that quite a few gadgets all over the world need to be painted red, or pink, to achieve that tiny extra slice of present-based sales... and, almost inevitably, the Shine is one of them.

AT&T has just released a red model, which sometime still features a just-as-effective mirror finish when the display is off.

We doubt we'll see this model here by Valentine's, or ever, but here's the specs just the same: slim profile, slider, 2 megapixel camera, microSD storage, Bluetooth 1.2 with stereo BT, 2.2" LCD with mirror-like finish, MMS, USB connectivity.
