    megapixel cameraphone that also does Flash, but the company's staff would barely even let us get close. It's true: the German showgirls and Japanese press handlers were less than forthcoming with the goods, but after a round of strong drinks and some serious sweet talking, we got to demo some of the phone's functions -- though there appeared to be a lot more lurking beneath the surface.

    You could think of LG's KU990 Viewty, a device with a huge 3" touchscreen display, as LG's take on an iPhone killer. The phone certainly has the specs for it, including a 5MP auto-focus camera. Read on for the details. Read more

    The device impresses through its stylish design, which will surely attract a lot of potential buyers. I believe that LG did a great job by combining the look of a fashionistas pone with the capabilities of a camera phone. The Flash UI also adds to the unique experience that the phone offers to the owner. Overall, Viewty stands on top of LG's camera phones and probably ranks in top 5 worldwide. Read more

    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 of multimedia features, such as 5-megapixel camera with the best video camcorder found on a phone and DivX playback, which allows watching of high-quality videos. While there are some drawbacks, we think it is an excellent (multimedia)... Read more

    This is one of LG's best phones yet. If you're looking for a good camera-phone, the LG Viewty is definitely worth checking out. From the vibrating touchscreen interface to the YouTube video capabilities and photo-editing app, we liked what it has to offer and think you will, too. Read more

    I have had the LG Viewty for around 5 months now and have grown to dislike it a lot. Basically the main problem for me is the signal issue. I always have a cracked up signal while i’m on the phone and I tend to talk a lot so I find this quite frustrating. At the start I found it quite hard to get used to the touch screen however now I can use it without any trouble. Another horrible issue with this phone is the battery life. I’ve never had a phone that dies so... Read more
