Before looking at the TU720 up close, we placed the two Shine phones side-by-side in order for us to find out what changed. We have found the new LG Titanium Shine to be thicker than the older Shine but sports an all-new navigation key, a microSD card slot, and a relocated USB port (now found on the left side). There is also a big overhaul in the phone's menu as the new Shine is being carried by Telstra, so expect services like Foxtel, Whereis Maps, and BigPond to be available.
This slider phone has a reflective mirror finish and is mostly made out of stainless steel. A volume up and down key, multitasking key that allow you to change between programs, and a camera launch/shutter key can be found on the right spine of the phone, while a microSD card slot and a mini-USB port are located on its left spine. The front hosts a 2.2-inch screen, a VGA camera for video calling, a five way navigation key, and two soft keys for launching the Telstra Mobile Foxtel and BigPond services. Located at the back of the unit is the TU720's 2 Mega Pixel camera with flash that can be used for taking photos or shooting videos.
