    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

    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

    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

    LGE KE990 Viewty: Awesome Camera, Tiresome Interface Despite its whimsical name, this dainty 112-gram shooter is infused with some pretty serious stuff. A frontside scroll wheel handles not only menu navigation and volume control, but also serves as a decent manual focus for the 5-megapixel, Schneider-Kreuznach optic sporting camera. Hands down, this one of the best image-capturing devices we've seen on a handset. Even the image stabilizer is aces, compensating for... Read more

  5. The LG KU990 Viewty is one lazy phone

    Reviewer: Preview Gadgets
    20 August 2008

    The LG KU990 Viewty is new LG smartphone with 5Mpx camera on the back side. This smartphone is definitely not a iPhone’s rival, it looks great but it has a lot of bad sides. People who tested this device said that it’s wheel is not easy to use, and it doesn’t work as you expected [...] Read more

    This phone is gorgeous. It is a lot nicer looking than the iPhone, but like the iPhone, if you're a stickler about keeping your phone looking nice and neat, watch out, this Lg loves fingerprints and scratches! Read more

    The only problem was that the buttons froze up and I could not press on any of them to text, dial, etc. BUT, I got a replacement and so far so good. Maybe the old cell phone was just one of the defective ones. Everything else is great! I love the camera! Read more

    Newegg needs to put better pics on here for this phone! If you are looking for a phone in this price range here it is, the only thing it is missing is wi-fi. Read more

    All in all, it's a great overall phone, just don't expect it to be an internet powerhouse or smartphone. It's a fun phone to use, and has a great camera, which should be its selling point. Read more
