LG Shine shines at CES

We've mentioned the LG Shine before on Crave, but since we spotted it at CES, we have to mention it again. As a reminder, the LG Shine is a supersleek slider phone that looks like a mirror on the front when it's inactive. It looks a lot like a stainless-steel successor to the Chocolate, and it comes with a 2-megapixel camera, an MP3 player, and a slim scroll wheel underneath its stunning 2.2-inch QVGA display. It's currently available only in Asia and Europe. Our LG representative said that it probably won't be coming our way in its current incarnation, but it may be altered slightly for U.S. markets. However, since there is currently a tri-band GSM version of the phone, you could attempt to import an unlocked version now. Check out our slide show of the Shine here to see better pictures of it.

Importing into US

If I were to import one into the US, would it be compatible on the US networks? I'm a Cingular user, and I'm under the impression that it will not work, or at least not at all well.

Is this the same situation as the LG Prada? Both are gorgeous, and I wouldn't mind having either one in my hands!
