LG Viewty = 5 Stars!

Advantages: Camera, Screen Size, Music, Free Internet
Disadvantages: Battery Life

...I got this phone yesterday morning and I decided to wait a bit before writing a review. I've been attached to this phone for the past 36 hours and I've sussed most things out. I got this phone after reading reviews on here and other mobile sites. 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 have provided headphones and a stylus (it's a good thing I can manage fine without the stylus however I would like some headphones!!) I shortly...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

LG does it at last

Advantages: Look, Design, Screen size,
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 really! This little beauty is outstanding. Other reasons I chose this phone is that it is available on orange network which meant I could keep my own number too. Now the search began........ Where and how much= I bought mines...

LG My Viewty

Advantages: neatly packaged box of tricks
Disadvantages: usability of screen and camera will grate over time

...The LG Viewty - Looks like an iphone but think again! Unlike its prettier counterpart the Viewty is primarily a multi-functional phone with decent video/ camera and high speed internet (HSDPA) capabilities. One up for the underdog then. Having owned one for a while now here is an honest rundown - its not all good I'm afraid. The pro's: Desirable design - Well made, quality use of materials. Nice touch screen, the qwerty keyboard arrangement is great for texting. The camera is good (5mp) and the video has a slo-mo feature that is unique as far as I'm aware. You can also upload straight to You-tube although like many I suspect? never did! The Viewty comes with 2Gb with capacity for 4 max. Internet speed is great and surfing is made more enjoyable by the large screen display. The touch screen feels good providing a reassuring...

  Easy to use stylish LG

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

...of phones for my price plan, then I had to choose..! After having a little bit of a play around with one of the men who worked in T-mobile's phones.. I picked one..! 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..! On every network there is an offer for this phone.. I'll give you the details of my own as it is by far the deal with the most for your money.. T-mobile: A free LG Viewty 700 minutes Unlimited texts And Free web'n'walk.. (internet on your phone) (Yes I got the offer off the TV..!) It is available...

LG Viewty

Advantages: Can do almost anything on this handset
Disadvantages: Clumsy, hard to see in sunlight, annoying touch screen

...The LG Viewty is different to your average mobile. Better or worse I'm not sure yet and I've had a device for around a month now. Unfortunately my LG did not come with a stylus so I cannot comment on that, however the touch screen responds to fingernail taps, albeit not always very well. Horrendous to use whilst on the move and impossible to see in the sun. Vibrate function does not always work, nor does the message alert so texts can go unread for a while. Very poor signal in most areas which apparently is the fault of the handset and not the network. Good internet access, good memory, camera is of a worse quality than a 3.2 mega pixel I had previously. Not ideal for the fast texter and when ringing an automated number (e.g. Press 1 for Customer Service) the keypad disappears so the phone has to be unlocked and a menu...

LG KU990 AMAZING

Advantages: Fun Apps Stylish
Disadvantages: Chunky Takes a while to get use to

...The LG KU990 was my second phone. I bought my phone for a good price of £136.00 and have not regretted it since. It;'s sleek design and easily usable features are what makes the phone a great phone, it's great 5mp camera with a stabilizer make it great for taking pictures on the go. It's movie making features also make the phone fun so even when your bored you can play about with this app and have hours of enjoyment! The phones chunkiness and very sensitive touch screen make the phone quite hard to use even though the phone comes with a stylus it scratches the screen when you try to open an app. The phone itself is a great buy definitely value for money!! :) Great purchase i would definitely recommend it...

LG Viewty

Advantages: Look, feel and sexyness of this phone
Disadvantages: Battery life

...The LG Viewty was the first touchscreen mobile phone to arrive on the market and it has set the way for the rest. It is very stylist and hardwearing. The 5 megapixel camera is fabulous and has made my usual digital camera redundent. I would recommend getting a contract with a good mobile internet package as the phone is excellent for looking at web pages. And has come in usefull on many trips to the pub quiz! Some downsides of the phone is whilst using it as an MP3 player it takes a while to scroll through the list of artists and the battery life is quite short, especially because the phone is so good you play with it alot! I would recommend this phone to anyone, and have already, 3 of my friends now have this phone too!...

LG viewty

Advantages: Very impressive camera
Disadvantages: Short battery life

...This is my first lg phone and im very pleased to say its excellent! My worry about this phone was the touch pad but its very accurate and you get used to it fairly fast. You can make it easier by activating the vibration when you touch the keys as well which helps whilst texting. The only bad thing i would say about the phone is its battery life. I have to charge it every day and sometimes it only just makes it through but then again i do use it alot. The best thing about the phone has definately got to be the camera quality. its amazing for a phone and the video is the best i have ever seen a camera phone produce. I have put the videos and pictures on my p.c and they are very clear especially the video. there isnt much distortion at all. overall i think this is proberly the best phone on the market at this current time and would choose...

LG VIEWTY

Advantages: touch screen, 5mp camera
Disadvantages: few gadgets

...First of all I a saw the LG Viewty in my local orange shop 2day at 139.99 which i thought was an absolute still. I brought mine 2 months ago from Vodaphone for 200 pound which at the time I thought was good. To see my phone has lost 80 pound in value over 2 months was quite upsetting but technology loses value quickly these days. The 5 mp camera is a fantastic feature on this phone along with the stunning touch screen. The camera has a number of options to play around with and you can change the mega pixel to suit your style of picture. it also has a number of effects that a great fun too. The touch screen is also a cool feature and defiantly the main feature of this phone. I have dropped mine on numerous occasions face down and the touch screen remains in great condition and hasn't stopped working once. The option to put a micro sd card...
