The LG Viewty..! == Why..? == To be honest there was no reason I got this phone other than the fact the guy in the shop sold is so well to me and I loved the fact it was totally touch screen..! It was mainly the price plan that sold it to me, but the phone despite its size is very stylish..! == Prices.. == Well I bought my phone for free..! Yay..!

It is available on pay as you go for about £160 if you can get a good deal from varying shops like Carphone warehouse and such, but to be honest for a phone of this quality, providing your over 18 a contract is the best deal. == In the box.. == At the first point of opening.

...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.

Text messaging is slightly more difficult when using the fingers however the predictive text and memory for words is brilliant along with its ease of use when it comes to adding multiple recipients to messages. Camera As with most mobile phones nowadays the Viewty comes with a very powerful 5MP camera which is located on the back of the phone. It has some great functions available with a flash, zoom, quality selector and ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

...'''PC Connectivity''' The LG software is nothing special, but is sadly lacking in capabilities. Compared to what I was able to do with various pieces of software with the K800i, the LG PC Suite can do the basic set up and basic file maintenance. On other phones, having that extra functionality is a luxury, but with the LG's operating software being less than intuitive, extra functionality in the software is a must. In fact, I'd go so far as to ...
...few months after installing the LG PC Suite, it simply stopped working. It will boot up and look to be running OK, but when I try to synchronise with my PC, it fails to connect to the phone. Un-installing and reinstalling the software has not resolved the issue. Despite LG's claims, I think it might be a matter of Vista compatibility. I've tried to use this on a Windows XP laptop and found that more stuff works. '''Technical Support''' Even with ...

...and is more "tweakable". LG i'm sure will bring an update for the handset out soon and it's only going to improve things. It has a nice Music player which is functional, easy to use/read and offers playlists & visualisations. My handset being on orange has been modified to include slightly different menu items. Most service providers do this with their handsets, sort of a customisation of them. Instead of Music mine says "Orange Music" and has a ...
...I'm working on getting LG to send me an original version of the firmware to reset back to factory. I has an FM radio for all those frequent radio listners out there. A voice recorder/applications/games/organiser etc just to name a few of the other features offered. You also get a stylus with the viewty to use instead of your finger. When you touch the screen theres an audible sound (cusomtisable) and a vibration (customisable) which adds a nice ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

I have recently got an LG Viewty (aka LG KU990), courtesy of Outside Line, to review and keep. The main features of this HSDPA (3G) mobile is the touchscreen and on-screen QWERTY keyboard. In addition to this, it boasts a 5MP camera with a proper flash and a low light setting up to ISO 800. The phone comes with a USB lead, headphones and charger. Dimensions and stylus: small and lipstick-like stylus The Viewty is fairly small, much smaller than ...
...my opinion, and I hope LG update their firmware to allow keyboard input to be offered wherever possible. I am impressed by the ease of locking and unlocking the phone. It requires you to press one button on the side of the phone and that's it! This, in my opinion, is much nicer than holding * down! The phone also vibrates when touched, but only lightly, providing nice sensual feedback. Whilst it is slightly disconcerting at first, you soon grow ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

...KU990 COMPLETE REVIEW!== The LG KU990 (Viewty) is a phone for people who are looking for a phone packed with features whilst also looking for the latest fashion item. In the box you get, the phone itself, a battery, headphones with a connector, data cable, mains charger, stylus, a screen protection sticker, a manual, a booklet describing the phone main features and a CD-ROM containing data transfer software. The sleek, shiny case of the phone ...
...to say that although the LG Viewty has its faults i believe it is easy to use, is packed with features and has an appealing design. And for most people this is all they want in a phone. The lack of Wi-Fi and Sat Nav/GPS is annoying but phones with these features don't have the fashionable looks of the KU990. Untill a new phone is released that has all the features this doesn't have and has the same good looks then this is the phone to have. I seriously ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

First off I have read a few reviews of this mobile phone prior upgrading and signing a year of my life over to owning it and was somewhat puzzled by the mix of reviews that I came accross on various sites. There seems to be a split of opinion over this shiny black marvel. As you can see from some of my other reviews, I am partial to shiny black items. Some people saying that they wouldn't touch it, no pun intended, and others loving every minute. ...
...phone dealers who were more than happy to let me have a play with one prior to signing up for another years contract etc. First impressions are good, nice box, well packaged, feels nice when you pick it up, not to big or heavy, no sticky out bits to catch in your pocket and oh so shiny and black. So we were off to a good start me and my potential new moby. The case is good quality plasics with some panels black coated metal with a chrome trim all ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

...The choice was between an LG Cookie and this phone, however, I wanted a phone that had similar features to my old Samsung G600 and I decided to go for this one! I bought it from Tesco on the Vodafone network as it was on offer for £97.86 (once you'd spent £30 in store). I got home and opened the box and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. All I got was the manual, Vodafone booklet, phone, battery, charger & USB cable. I thought they could ...
...phone only has three themes? LG could have made a theme creator app, or installed more themes but as you can download themes I'm not too worried. The games are fine, too but as I'm not one for playing the games I don't really mind that they are demos. However, I love the Google Maps app! Very useful indeed! Another thing that really impressed me was the Internet access. This could just apply to Vodafone, but I love being able to go on the Internet ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

When I wanted a new phone a couple of months ago I had only a few needs; It wasn't allowed to be a blackberry (My sister has a Blackberry Storm and it would be horrific if our phones clashed), It had to play music, It had to take a decent picture and it absolutely had to have a touch-screen. Well It met my needs. So I should be absolutely delighted shouldn't I?....Ummm well yes, I mean no, actually yes.... It's a great phone, It really is. It was ...
...Renoir (The new version) out you have to expect some features to be missing or lacking. For me what is lacking is just that extra push! Oh it could be amazing if it could take more memory. ( I think officially it can take a 2gb Sd Card). And it would be great if the full on Screen Qwerty keyboard was an option for the Internet and making notes. Also for the life of me I can't get the e-mail to work but to be honest that could just be my fault. I ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

I first saw this phone when it came out a few years ago and it had a price tag of around £300, but when I noticed it the other day in Tesco for just over £100 I snapped it up! I have now had this phone for just less than a year now, it has many features and has easy access to all these features through the 'touch screen navigating'! I'll start with the 5 mega pixel camera, personally I think it takes clear photos, with its 'autofocus' technology, ...
...I have ever seen on a phone, but in poor light conditions the photos can become easily blurred and extremey dark, there is also on-screen editing, which can be REAL FUN! You can morph your friends, colour swap etc, also has a video camera and on this you can edit the timing so things will appear in slow motion! The mp3 player has clear sound and can be played loudly so can be heard easily in public places which is really handy if your phone is ringing ...

...Display The LG has a 3 inch touch screen display, which is surprisingly sensitive. You get a stylist with the handset but I have rarely used mine as you can easily use your finger for most things. They phone also supports handwriting recognition which is surprisingly accurate but if you don’t like using handwriting recognition then there is the option of an on-screen keyboard, you can choose between a normal computer keyboard or a phone keypad. ...
...more accustom to a computer keyboard. Applications The phone comes with its own MP3 player which supports MP3 and WMA formats. There is also as video and photo editors which are very advanced for a phone. I was also surprised to see a video player which supports DIV X AVI, MP4 and other formats, which is useful for watching films or short video clips. The phone also supports many normal phone applications such as JAD or JAR for games. The phone ...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

I've owned this phone now for around 12 months and am loving it, this is my first touch screen phone. First off, I have found the screen to be large (3.5") very clear with excellent colour reproduction. On the downside, the screen cannot be viewed in direct/bright sunlight or even outside on overcast days - this is a big disappointment, as it makes viewing messages when you are out extremely difficult. When I say I can't see anything I mean it, the ...
...is great, I get as much as 7 days between charges if the phone hasn't been used much - which after 12 months use is superb, especially considering the large screen size. When the phone is used a lot I still get 3-4 days between charges, again this is excellent and I have yet to come across a phone that can better that. I have always had Motorola phones, so was worried how I would find using the menus, however, I needn't have worried! The menus on ...

...replaced it with the fantastic LG Viewty. You might be thinking I am crazy. The N95 is supposed to be way more feature packed, it has GPS for example. You could be thinking that there is good reason for them to charge £49.99 for the N95, when the Viewty is free, but the truth is I would happily pay a handset fee for the Viewty, it is far superior to the N95. The details It's true that on paper the Viewty doesn't have as many features as the N95. ...

At first glance it seems like it might be difficult to use. But the truth is you get used to it very quickly. One of the problems you might expect is that scrolling through menus could be difficult, using the "jogwheel" that has been much publicised. It's ...

I decided to swap my old LG phone for this model and I have never thought once that it was a bad buy.

You simply connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and you get a selection of control such as Multimedia, Sychronisation, Contents Manager (which I used to transfer music, pictures etc to the phone) and when you open the software it is easy to transfer data. You just look in the files on your computer (which are displayed ...
