LG KU990 Viewty review
Large colorful screen, fun slow-motion video, sturdy feel, sleek design...Sluggish interface, disappointing web browser, below average call quality, finicky camera...The Viewty, also known as the KU990, is LG's new high-end camera phone, a candybar style device with an impressively large touch sensitive display...Available on most networks within the UK, and at far more reasonable...

LG Viewty mobile phone review - Pocket-lint
Touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA, radio, Bluetooth, haptics...Zoom on camera is hard to use, no QWERTY keyboard option on screen...The LG Viewty is seen by many as the company's answer to the Apple iPhone, but is it, and if so, is it better or worse...The LG Viewty is notable for a few reasons...Overall the build quality is very good, with a good mix of materials...

LG KU990 Viewty 5Mp cameraphone - Techworld.com
Mobile phone makers can cram in more megapixels – as with the 5Mp LG KU990 Viewty – but cameraphone sensors just aren’t up to the job...That doesn’t stop us buying cameraphones such as the LG KU990 Viewty at an impressive rate, though, and of course the best way to encourage innovation is if there’s money to be made from doing so...For our money,...

LG KU990 Viewty cameraphone • reghardware
The Viewty - daft name, it has to be said - adopts the stylish look and feel of LG's Prada phone released earlier this year but ups the feature count...As you’d expect with any self-respecting high-end mobile, a music player and video player are included, and the 3G connectivity provides video calling - there’s a secondary camera up front, above the display - support for...

LG KU990 Viewty review: Eyes wide open - GSMArena.com
The user interface of LG KU990 is based on Flash technology, much like the one in LG Prada...The KU990 is still not a smartphone or anything, but it has one huge difference in comparison to the Prada phone...At the top of the standby screen there is info about the battery status, current profile and signal strength...The user interface of KU990 retains the same menu system as the Prada...
