Compare KU990 Viewty Deals

The LG-KU990 Viewty is a highly versatile phone with excellent camera functionality among its many features. The 5 megapixel camera has Xenon flash, a built-in image stabiliser, editing software, red-eye reduction and displays the results on a high-resolution 3-inch LCD touchscreen. SmartLight technology means you can create bright pictures both indoors and even at night and it records video at up to 120 frames per second – among the highest frame speed available for a phone camera.

A circle around the camera lens is actually a Jog Dial: used to (digitally) zoom in and out in camera mode and to focus the camera in manual focus mode. It doubles as a volume control when you are talking on the phone and a scroll wheel to scroll through music tracks.

Dialling and messaging is straightforward via a numeric or alphabetic keypad that works identically to a standard mobile phone keypad minus the mechanical keys, and is aided by the vibrating feedback feature. Web interaction is fast thanks to HSDPA technology, working with the KU990’s proprietary browser.

Internal memory is a considerable 100 MB, with a microSD memory card slot extendable up to 2 GB. Other features include calendar, a fun 3D shoot 'em up game, speakerphone mode and a music player supporting all the popular formats.

Battery life is rated at 355 minutes’ GSM talk time (233 for 3G); 434 hours for GSM standby time; 454 hours using 3G.
