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 las ... t 6 hours. But it is a good phone, with a very good camera. Easy to use, i would recommend it :) Read more Less Read more

I have recently got an LG Viewty (aka LG KU990), courtesy of Outside Line, to review and keep. The main features of this HSDPA (3G) mobile is the touchscreen and on-screen QWERTY keyboard. In addition to this, it boasts a 5MP camera with a proper ... 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

I bought this phone as it was time I had something with 3G features and a decent camera for those impulse shots when my proper camera is at home. Buying this was a big mistake - the quality is exceptionally poor, so poor that they compare to older camera phones from several years ago at much lower resolutions. The images are as far from sharp as could possibly be, and with an excruciatingly terrible trigger-to-snap latency problem. Friends are usually already blinking or... Read more or see product
