    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

    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

    The 5 megapixel camera on this phone is pretty impressive… but that’s just the beginning. There’s also a manual focus control and an image stabilizer, along with a bright xenon flash. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a high-speed 120-frames-per-second video recording function. And when you’ve finished, you can upload your creativity directly to Facebook or Cyworld. 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

    It is a very good phone, i have one myself, but the battery life lets it down. It only takes 2 and a half hours to fully charge + it says it will last 16 hours, which is true, for the first couple of months. After about 4 months the batter hardly Read more

    I've had this phone for quite some time now and I have many regrets about this purchase. Firstly there is a pretty annoying text message problem which doesn't actually tell you when you have nearly ran outof message space, this means you are unable to save a new message that you just started becuase of memory. The predicitve text on this phone is poor and doesn't come anywhere close to the quality of many modern phones. The predictive text often suggests non existent... Read more
