    Advantages Advantages Look, Design, Screen size,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None at all

    I decided to treat myself to a brand new pay as you go mobile phone and I knew what I wanted and I knew that it was going to be on the orange network. The phone I am talking about is LG Viewty. The search began for the best possible price. I decided against getting the phone from Ebay as I wanted a brand new one which was boxed and never been open before. So why this model I chose this model purely because another family member has it and is always saying how good the phone is. I had borrowed it for a few days to see how good it really was and to be honest it's a phone that makes you go wow ... more

    Advantages Advantages The camera

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The battery life if you need the internet all the time..

    Here I am again writing about yet another mobile phone.. But rest assured I think this may be the last one for quite some time..! No actually let me rephrase this it will be the last one for 17-18 months.. As I have finally got myself a contract phone, a decent phone for so much less than I would have been paying in credit..! So I went into the t-mobile shop in Boston and had a gaunt around looking at the free phones I could have… The list was quite long and if you know me.. You know it takes ages for me to decide what I want, especially when I'm going to have it for a very long time.. The ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Decent sized phone, does calls and text messages adequately

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Really doesn't live up to hype, LG support non-existent

    Alarm bells should have been ringing. When I last upgraded my phone from a Nokia to the Sony Ericsson K800i (which had been on the market around a year at this stage), I had to haggle to get the handset cost down to what I thought was a reasonable price from well over £100. This time, the operator was offering a new phone, only on the market for six months, for £30. As the Viewty was something I had been considering as an upgrade, I took the offer without too much thought. I wish I hadn't bothered... Rather worryingly, when launched, the Viewty was LG's flagship phone, promised lots and yet it ... more

    Advantages Advantages Sleek looking, Great Camera

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battary Life

    When I received a call to say that my mobile phone provider was offering me a upgrade I rushed down to the shop to take a look at what new toy I could get next, after much browsing and scratching of the head I decided upon the LG Viewty it seemed to fit all the functions I required in a mobile phone and looked stylish as well. Was I let down by falling for it's silky good look's or did I just buy a stairway to mobile heaven read on to find out. Phone As a phone for making call's the Viewty is great with a big touch screen display you can easily dial numbers or access the phonebook with ease, a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Touch Screen, looks, build, functions/features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No WiFi, no multitap on the Touch Screen.

    The Viewty, such a strange name for a mobile handset. However don't be fooled by it's estranged name and looks. It is an amazing handset and i believe it to be this years must have gadget. I'm sure that most people will say "oh but what about Apples iphone?, that is much better!". Having not had the pleasure of using the iphone yet i'm sure it is a very nice handset but do i really want to pay £269 for the iphone and have a contract on a Service provider i don't like (o2). I had the Viewty free on Orange panther 45, which i believe is a very good deal. Lots of minutes (900) and unlimited ... more

    Phone keeps bleeping.

    Generally this happens after I have sent a text message. The sound that comes through is the (Message Recieved) tone. Does anyone know why this is happening. Regards Technophobe
