Compare KU990i Viewty Lite Deals

The LG Viewty Lite KU990i (quite a mouthful) in dramatic black is, in essence, a cut-down version of the KU990 Viewty, but this remains an excellent business-cum-entertainment handset. There is the 5 megapixel camera for stills and videos, with LED flash and autofocus, delivering its results to a 3-inch touchscreen (with stylus); there is a secondary VGA video call camera to take advantage of the 3G facility.

The 3G capability enables fast internet page downloads – we’re talking seconds – thanks to HSDPA technology and the integral Web browser. The 990i is a tri-band phone, so supports international roaming, while offering comprehensive messaging capabilities: SMS, MMS and email.

Other features include an FM radio, music player (supporting all popular music formats including MP3) a video player, alarm clock, calendar and document viewer. It can also synchronise data with your PC and there is a card slot for additional memory.

The battery life really does depend on how you use the device, but a tip is to reduce the brightness by 20% to enjoy a much longer spell between charges.
