LG produces gold Shine, Shine Folder

A meeting at LG's Digital Design Center in Seoul has revealed two new versions of the Shine phone -- click through for images. The first is a special gold edition, which will initially ship for CDMA networks in Korea; though it may ship elsewhere (and for GSM), such plans have yet to be confirmed. The other version is the Shine Folder, which as the name implies, converts the normal slider design into a clamshell. The phone otherwise appears to be unchanged. LG has yet to bring the regular Shine to North America, so the Folder should not be anticipated in the near future. [via SOGI]
