Is the LG Shine Slider a good phone?

The LG SHINE TU720.. I REALLY want to buy it, but some ppl say the battery life is low while others say they're fine with it....if you have the phone, please share ur opinions!
And also, if did u have to buy the Vision Plan with it?

The shine is a great phone! I bought mine a good 6 months ago and it is fine! battery life isn't bad.....i only charge mine every 2 days or so!! So yeah it is a great phone....really good camera to!! great sound.....great everything!!!

yes it is a GREATTTTT phone ive had it for almost a year and LOVE IT! and about the battery thing i text alot and it lasts like 2 days. But it is a very good phone

GREAT CAMERA. but the sound gets a little weird like it's too loud so some mp3/tones are distorted at the highest volume. i still love it though.

Very easy to use and feels like a quality product with its metal body.

Well unfortunately I do not have much praises about this, I do not know if there is a huge difference between the slider and the normal one but I got that (KE770) on November last year. Initially it was great but in these days the camera has deteriorated and so has the sound quality. Some of the buttons are getting loose too. Battery life also has started disappointing me. The only plus is when I plug in the earphone. The music I get to hear is great. Now let the choice be with others.
