LG Viewty (KU990) Specifications

By Joseph Hanlon on 04/01/2008

More LG reviews , RRP: AU$899.00

The good:

  • Vibrating touchscreen
  • HSDPA data speeds and great browser
  • Plethora of camera features and settings

The bad:

  • Disappointing camera performance
  • Restrictive video playback
  • No 3.5mm headphone input

The bottomline:

With auto-focus, image stabilisation and settings galore the 5-megapixel camera should take better, sharper photos. As a phone and a mobile Web browser the Viewty is a strong performer.
