Abstract: from £00.00 contract Camera phones have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years but I still haven’t yet found one that doesn’t underperform as a camera. LG’s Viewty could best be described as a poor man’s iPhone, with its huge...
Good: Large colorful screen, fun slowmotion video, sturdy feel, sleek design
Bad: Sluggish interface, disappointing web browser, below average call quality, finicky camera
Bottomline: The Viewty is a very stylish and fashionable phone, trying to take on Apples mighty iPhone with its large touch-sensitive display and simple form-factor. It builds on these features by including a 5 megapixel camera, 120fps video capture, and HSDPA 3G...
Abstract: The new LG’s KU990 is undeniably a slinky number in the world of mobiles phones. It’s a slim and good looking and doesn’t feel plasticky. In simple terms this is a camera that you can ring people on as well as watch TV, browse the...
Good: Stylish form factor, Handwriting recognition with a twist, 5 MP camera
Bad: Slow machine, Touchscreen is not so responsive, Bad jog dial placement
Bottomline: After being a relatively bashful brand in the mobile phone segment, LG has seemingly turned its focus on the lifestyle aspect. The Viewty is one such example of the company’s penchant for embellishing its devices. This phone looks very chic, pro...
Bottomline: 5 megapixels will be the buzzword in the cameraphone category this year. The LG KU990 lays great stress on its camera capabilities and also embraces the trend of less-is-more by doing away with a physical keypad and having a large screen. To top it o...
Bad: The camera quality is lower than on other 5megapixel phones, Doesnt support highcapaciity memory cards, The music player cannot compete with iPod, The speaker sound could be better
Bottomline: So, let’s sum the things up: the Viewty looks well, has all that a modern “touch-phone” needs, form-factor – large, high-quality touch display, decent dimensions, and an eye-catching interface. On the other hand, it offers plenty o...

Good: Nice 5-megapixel camera, good video recording capabilities. Cool touch interface.
Bad: Unresponsive handwriting recognition. No U.S. carrier support. NILLSlightModeratePalpableExtreme
Bottomline: The LG Viewty is a somewhat half-baked touchscreen phone. LG tries some interesting ideas, like handwriting recognition, but in our brief time with the device, we found the handwriting completely unreliable and frustrating, with our finger or the inc...
Abstract: The LG KU990 Viewty is a true powerhouse packing a mass of high-tech goodies under its hood: the impressive 3" touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels resolution, the HSDPA 3.6 Mbps capability, the stereo Bluetooth and the highly intriguing 5 megapix...
Abstract: The Viewty KU-990 is a 5.0 megapixel candybar camera phone from LG which is feature-filled and has full touchscreen capability, HSDPA 3.5G and a flurry of features.
Bottomline: One of the biggest flaws is the scroll wheel, and here comes the real killer. Since this is apparently as much camera as it is phone, every time you use the scroll wheel you end up putting your greasy fingerprints on the lens as there’s no lens prot...
Abstract: Viewty? I cant work out why this phone has that name, or indeed why the name might be applied to any mobile. But then LG doesnt bat an eyelid at using odd names for its handsets. , anyone?If you remember my review of the predecessor to this mob...
