LG’s Shine has just landed on American soil (at least in fully-subsidized carrier-branded form), but the product line has been enjoying significant success on the international scene. LG announced that over 5 million Shines have been sold since the handset’s October 2006 debut. That’s a lot of phones, people! It’s easy to get worked up about 1 million iPhones here, and another million HTC Touch’s there, but 5 million handsets in just over a year is no joke. Congrats, LG. The better news, at least for those of us here in the US, is that AT&T is now pushing their very own HSDPA-capable Shine. Life’s Good, right? Right.
LG Shine surpasses the 5 million mark, now available on AT&T
