These phones are both completely different types and styles. The Decoy is a little more fancy and has more features, while the Shine has a very attractive and shiny look.

The Decoy is more reliable and can be more useful. Many states have made laws that prohibit driving while talking on the cell phone without a hands-free device. The Decoy will take care of this. It has a bluetooth headset which is easy to detach and use. It is always synced.

The Shine doesn't have this. It doesn't even feature a Music Bluetooth. It can only use a standard bluetooth headset, not included.

The Shine is powered by AT&T while the Decoy is powered by Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless provides a much larger coverage area. They also have more satisfaction from customers than any other wireless carriers. View the details here: Mountain Wireless Ratings and for JD Power: http://jdpower.com/telecom

I would say go with the Decoy, it would be a better choice.

i see your point. i asked that question because i loved the shine ever since i saw it with the joystick the mirror and everything but i got a family plan with verizon so i couldnt get it so i wanted the next closest thing and i saw the decoy with its joystick and mirror like finish and slider design so i thought it was just like the shine but now that i have the decoy i wonder which phone is better cause i dont like how on the decoys the hole front is glossy not like the shine. plaese reply

Based on overall performance, the LG Decoy wins. Based on overall appearance, the LG Shine wins.

I think the Decoy is an amazing device though. I would recommend it.

do u think the 2 look alike though

Yes, somewhat. The Decoy does have a blue back though.

do u think the mirror finish on the decoy is anything close to the shines

Nick · 08-01-2008, 07:21 AM

Not really. You can't use it as a mirror like you can with a shine. The commercials do over exaggerate how the shine looks. It isn't nearly as shiny in person. I have seen it.
