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...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

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: 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...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

LG Viewty - Technologically Stunning.

Advantages: Touch Screen, looks, build, functions/features.
Disadvantages: No WiFi, no multitap on the Touch Screen.

...with a camera screen protector! Result and all for less than a £5'er! The camera is outstanding, perhaps not as fluid as that of the Samsung G800 as that has optical zoom built in. But still the viewty ceases to falter. Excellent image quality for 5 Megapixel. On top of this, it has the ability to upload videos directly to YouTube (check with your service provider first) and to shoot video at 120 frames per second, which allows you to slow it down and watch it in slow-motion. Although i must say i've not yet used this feature. I'm sure i'll have hours of fun with it soon enough though. The software on the phone is very good, having used the N95, G800 & F700 recently for a a lengthy time i feel this phone wins hands down. Although the N95 does have the Symbian OS and is more "tweakable". LG i'm sure will bring an update for the handset...

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 = 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...

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...

LG Ku990 Viewty Review

Advantages: Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Un - responsive touchscreen, Bulky, Poor Camera

...In November of last year, when my contract was nearing its end, I began looking for a new cell phone. There wasn't a great deal of choice, with the only phone worth having looking like the LG Ku990 Viewty. Over the past 7 months there hasn't been a decision I regret more. Why? OK, so we'll start on appearance. It's not exactly an ugly phone, its just not exactly pretty either, and in fact, I feel its rather bulky. The front features a large touchscreen, with the only buttons being the Call, Cancel and End Call buttons. There's a small front-facing camera in the top right for all your video calls, and on the back lies the phones 5.0mp (Mega-Pixel) camera. Ease of use. Well due to the phones quite basic interface, the phone is fairly simple to use, and I believe most people could use it with little to no support needed. Everything in...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

LG Viewty - A good touch phone.

Advantages: Looks good, very good camera
Disadvantages: Texting can be tedious, very slow

...The LG Viewty, I thought it was a very good phone. It has it's downfalls but what phone doesn't! The more you use this phone you will find little things that niggle you. For example, I found it annoying when the phone would automatically lock after 10 seconds if you havent touched it in that time. You cannot change this in the settings. The CD that you get with the phone has very poor software, which makes it difficult to transfer music, pictures etc between PC and phone. The worse thing that i found with this phone is.....texting. You have to type very slowly. It takes a second or so for it to take in the letter that you last typed. So if you are a beginner at texting this phone will be excellent for you. The best things abou the LG Viewty - the camera. Not as many mega pixels as a Sony but still more than enough to get by...
