LG Shine KE970 Silver, New, Unlocked
Silver completes the set: a new LG Shine KE970 - Silver, unlocked for GSM networks, supplied in the original retail box with battery, battery door, charger, and user guide. The silver mirror finish is the classic Shine look and the one prop houses and collectors request most often, so it moves first in mixed color lots.
The LG Shine KE970 is a 2007 slider phone remembered for its brushed stainless steel body and a 2.2-inch display that reads as a mirror until the phone wakes. Inside it is a straightforward 2G GSM feature phone: a 2 MP camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach lens, a music and video player, a document viewer, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot rated for 2 GB cards. It sits between the Chocolate and the Prada phone in LG's design-led lineup of that era.
Collector shops, prop houses, and exporters to 2G markets buy the Shine from TG Wireless, usually as new-in-box units where the mirror finish and metal body still matter more than the spec sheet.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Shine KE970 is a tri-band 2G GSM phone on 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz with GPRS data only, so it lacks the 850 band and has no 3G or LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026; the Shine therefore gets no US service today. It still works where 2G GSM is live abroad, and otherwise sells to collectors, prop departments, and parts buyers. Lock state is listed per variant; see the network status line in the table. No SIM is included.
Resale fit
- Collector and design-object shops that want a boxed stainless steel LG Shine in Gold, Titanium, or Silver.
- Film and TV prop suppliers dressing mid-2000s scenes.
- Exporters serving regions where GSM 900/1800 2G service remains live.
