Author: Klimov Oleg     Translation by: Oleg Kononosov     

LG Shine, the second handset in Black Label range from LG Electronics, is set off to conquer the markets of the UK and Europe. As LG Electronics reports, LG Shine's popularity is growing in avalanche-like fashion in Europe and its sales here in a month's time have exceeded accumulated sales in Korea, while with that said, LG Chocolate's sales in the respective period of 2006 have been beaten as well.

The leading retailer in the UK, Phones4U, calls LG Shine its top selling phone for the two week period after launch, over and above, total daily sales of all British distributors still don't want to get off the 2000 units-a-day mark for two weeks.

Europe, France and Germany aren't any different - compared to the phenomenally successful Chocolate, the Shine has put up even bigger numbers - since its release in Europe over 200 000 units have been sold (while Chocolate made it only to 160 000 units mark).
