    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

    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) phone. Read more

  3. LG KU990 Viewty Review - Top-notch camera phone

    Reviewer: Softpedia
    09 January 2008

    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

  5. LG KU990 Viewty review: Eyes wide open

    Reviewer: GSM Arena
    25 September 2007

    While some manufacturers tend to mass-produce handsets over the same interface and platform, LG have decided to do it their own way. We see improvements in interface with every new handset they release - fixing usability issues and making the user experience more enjoyable. It really shows they take into account user feedback in the mobile community, and are constantly developing their product line, both in terms of design and features. We've seen proof of that in all... Read more

  1. Design with sluggish system

    The model I had tried is KU990R, the latest incarnation of Viewty. Aside from the additional lens cover and better camera mode switch, the rest are the same as the older version. The Camera function really suffer from sluggish operating system. The phone may take reasonable quality of photos and that is all the the phone is good at. Loading time to view your photos is like forever (no joke, it takes more than 2 mins to load as if the phone hang), particularly if you h... Read more
