UsabilityNot only a fab phone it's also a brilliant camera/video phone
I have had the LG Viewty KU990 for almost 6 months now and there are a couple of things that could be improved on
(1) you have to be careful as the touchscreen can start to go at certain points. (because of this I had to replace my phone and I am not heavy handed). (2) if you are a mac user you cant sync very well.
Apart from that its a fabulous phone, I know that they say it's the poor mans equivalent of the iPhone but I would have to disagree as it's not only a fab phone it's also a brilliant camera/video phone.
Overall Design Features Usabilitywas going to buy a camera but the 5.0 megapixels on this is just great
This phone is so pretty, the simple black design is lovely but the only thing that I didn't like about this phone is that it is quite big compared to other phones on the market (rather long and chunky-ish!)
But the features are brilliant, I was going to buy a digital camera but the 5.0 megapixels on this is just great. I found it a bit difficult to use at first but that may have been my own fault for not reading the manual and just through my own stupidity!
Overall Design Features UsabilityEasy to use with or without the stylus that is included
I have found this phone very easy to use, with clear icons that make it easy to navigate around, the camera is excellent, as is the music player.
The only problem I have found is transferring data from my pc to and from the phone, it can be difficult to get to grips with at first. I also love the look of the phone and the touchscreen is an excellent feature, it is easy to use with or without the stylus that is included, very beautiful and slim.
Overall Design Features UsabilityInternet access is very quick and with the large LCD screen is easy to read
I love this phone, the touch sensitive screen is excellent (even with my stumpy fingers). The Internet access is very quick and with the large LCD screen is easy to read. The FM radio is also far better than on any other phone I have had and the MP3 player can store loads of tracks. All in all, an excellent phone !
Overall Design Features Usability6 months now and I still really like it
I've had this phone for 6 months now and I still really like it. In my opinion it's still one of the best on the market. The camera is Fab! and the big screen is great for viewing your pics.
What I don't like is when you are on a call that requires you to press keys you have to take it away from your ear unlock it and bring up the key pad then if you wait about 30 secs it locks again. I recommend this phone to anyone who likes to take pictures especially.
Overall Design Features UsabilityTouchscreen is excellent, scrolling and the jog wheel is a bit fiddley
I do like the phone and think the touchscreen is excellent, scrolling and the jog wheel is a bit fiddley. Some of the instructions and software are not too user friendly, had problems getting the bluetooth working after pairing up to play music through my headset, but then again that maybe me being of limited mental ability.
Have had the phone about six months and have had to send it back under warranty for problems mentioned in previous reviews, first for the battery, after being on full charge then emptying again within 24 hours with little use, they sent me out a new phone which is now back with O2 because it keeps freezing and also turning itself off.
At the moment I,m using my wife's Sony K850i, the phone I also nearly got, I still prefer my Viewty just want it back working with no problems.
Overall Design Features UsabilitySimply amazing phone from LG
Simply amazing phone from LG, I love the 5.0 megapixel camera, the music quality is also really good and it looks professional. The only thing which is hard is to text, the touchscreen texting makes it harder to get to use to easily but I,m sure it becomes easier with time.
Overall Design Features UsabilityThe camera is better than my normal camera
The KU990 does take a while to get used to but once you have figured out how to use it it's a brilliant little gadget. The camera is better than my normal camera and has built-in stability so is always ready when your out and about. Overall it's a great phone, just as long as your read the instructions!
Overall Design Features UsabilityGreat phone, looks fantastic, works like a charm
Great phone, looks fantastic works like a charm only thing is the memory not so great but thats is easily fixed with a mini sd card
Would benefit from having a choice of colours, when purchased it was only available in black although I do beleive it is now available in purple.
Oh and one small thing - when I bought my phone it never came with any screen protectors which I am know only cost a few pence but I had no protector until I could get somewhere to buy some - All phones like this should come with these as standard.
Overall Design Features UsabilityDoes take a while to get used to the touchscreen
This phone has a great look but it does take a while to get used to the touchscreen. Its not great for web browsing as its not responsive when you try to click links, also you cant send very quick messages either which is a pain. Overall not bad but wouldnt go for another no buttons phone again.
Overall Design Features UsabilityIf you want a phone eqivalent to the i-Phone but cheaper, then buy this
If you want a phone eqivalent to the i-Phone but cheaper, then buy this, the only fault is the battery life, but this can be rectified by buying another battery.
Basically a great all rounder with great camera, enough memory(expandable) and well designed. Some people hate the pointer for the touchscreen, no problem just set the screen by using your finger and no need for it dangling from the phone annoying you!
Overall Design Features
UsabilityGood looking, good camera, touch pad is poor functionality
This phone is a good-looking one.
It's camera performs well with good clarity. Music is average, less sound. Camera lens got no cover, dust is the problem.
My mobile's metal colour enamel scratches out.
Touchpad is poor in function.
Battery charge lasts enough. You can use up to 2G Memory card.
Overall Design Features Usabilitytouch screen is tempremental
This phone is pretty decent, its got everything you need on there. The only thing about having a touch screen phone is that its tempremental. I have had the phone for about 7 months and already its playing up.
The phone switches itself off every now and again and I cant switch it back on until I take the battery out and re-load it in.
Sometimes, I have charged the phone over night and the next day, without no warning the phone says low battery and cuts off!
They have only just bought out a plastic cover for it which unfortunately, due to the phone being touch screen, doesnt protect the screen so I keep mine in a soft socky pouch that you get.
Overall the features arent too bad, but I have seen other phones with better features, it depends what you want really
Overall Design Features UsabilityI always get compliments with this phone
I bought the LG KU990 on an Orange contract. I have it in black but I wanted it in purple (I would get this one, my sister has it, much nicer)
At first I found it hard to text, yet there are so many ways so it's just trying to find the best way for you. I prefer it with the pen. I also had to get used to the scrolling which can be tricky to master, sometimes when you want to quick text, it's annoying.
The camera on this phone is great, instead of taking my camera and phone out on a night out all I need now is my phone, there are a number of ways to edit pictures too.
I always get compliments with this phone, so if your a stylish go for this phone.
Overall Design Features UsabilityYou should be getting one of these!
The LG viewty is excellent.
I have had it now for 6 months and find it very easy to text, voice call and video call.
The best feature is the camera with a good 5 mega pixels and image stabilizer - this has come in useful on a few occasions.
If your looking to upgrade your phone think about getting one of these!
Overall Design
Features UsabilityLet down by poor design faults
I had wanted this phone since it first came out, but I have to say on receiving this phone, it was a real disappointment to me.
I previously had a Sony Walkman and feel that my old phone had far more capabilities than the Viewty.
The touchscreen is temperamental and texting is a complete nightmare, positioning of the buttons on the side was not well thought out either.
If you are a fast texter, forget this phone. As there is no physical keypad, there is no contingency if the touchscreen plays up.
I have had the phone for one week and it has already frozen on me 4 times.
All in all I feel this does not live up to the hype.
A real let down ;o(
Overall Design Features UsabilityIf you txt a lot it is pretty painful
Great phone BUT if you txt a lot it is pretty painful although the writing stick is a useful tool but is not attached to the phone so why include it ?????
Saying that it looks cool and the touch screen is very reactive and you adapt pretty quickly to using it.
Overall Design Features UsabilityExactly what I was looking for
Love my new LG Viewty mobile phone. The name is a bit odd but it was exactly what I was looking for. 4 for the usability because I still feel mobile phone manufacturers will eventually do even more with touch screen devices.
Great mobile.
Overall Design Features UsabilityTHE LG VIEWTY IS GREAT! TOP MARKS!!!
Simply say wow what a phone. I never review stuff but this time I simply had to! Ive had my Viewty for about 1 week now and I really like it. I liked the lg prada mobile phone which had a touch screen as well but was put off by it being a prada and me being a lad. This phone is what I would call the unisex version but is much more. The features are even better now! I really do like this phone and can easily see this being the next big thing! THE LG VIEWTY IS GREAT! TOP MARKS!!!
