Don't buy lg viewty, after around 6 months the phone keeps shuting itself off when you get up to around two batteries.

i think the LG KU990I is a amazing phone has a great touch screan easy to use and the more u use it the better u enjoy the phone the big proplem is it does not come with any equipment ie headset pc lead or diver they told me in the shop this is because they are cutting back to sell the product at the best price which it is very cheep at only £100 in most shops i am told tha i was to download the disc driver from the website and most people use bluetooth now for there pc's so this is y a lead is not provided but that does not explain y they are selling a music phone without headset am going to give this product a 4 out 5 because the lack of equicpment if it was boxed with all the stuff it would be the best phone one the market but u can pick a headset up at your local market for 10 pound which i intend to do

Phone broke down after 4 months required new system connector and software download. service agents Regenersis said this repair was not covered under the warranty and wanted nearly £50 to repair it or £11.50 to return it unrepared. I pointed out that this repair should be covered under the warranty and had the phone slammed down on me. Avoid Regenersis like the plague!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive had this phone for about 6 months now and have had no problems. I love the music player as you can access lots of stuff but the only problem is when you want to play a game or go on the internet you have to take the music player off. Other than That great phone the camera is outstanding. Zoom as well absolutely brilliant so therefore I would recommend you to buy it plus the battery life is amazing I played games on it for about two hours and it was still full! There are lots of different features for your needs and one other thing I don't particularly like is the themes you cant add any and you have a limited amount of 3-4 that is a bad thing! Does anyone use the stick because i do sometimes just when i am calibrating the phone but not for anything else so does anyone i would really like to know!? Recommend from me a bit like the iphone and outselling the iphone!!

I don't know how people can possibly describe the LG Viewty as a phone, I got mine on contract about 7-8 months ago. I had regret it from day 1, unfortunately I was unable to return it. The camera is the only thing stopping me from rating the phone as a 1. The speaker is very quite, the battery life is very bad, the touch screen is stupid, you literally have to push down sometimes for the phone to pick up what you've just clicked. Not only all of the above, LG release a new phone every week (pretty much anyway) which makes getting a contract with them stupid. I will not be getting an LG again, and would certainly recommend you not to purchase the Viewty either.

I got the Viewty on a contract upgrade in July. Overall, it's a good handset, until you start to delve a bit deeper. On the internet browser, you can't use the full qwerty keypad, the zoom is slow, sometimes it freezes, it picks up scratches like anything (get a screen protector!) and the battery life is appaling! The camera isn't that great either, any pics I take come out blocky and sharp. It makes a good mp3 player though, and coupled with bluetooth headphones is very good. Doing that brings the battery life issue up again though...

I brought the viewty about a week ago now. Such a shame about the battery life. Dont know if it was me but, charged the phone for a good 3 hours, the phone was saying charging, but when i took it off charge and turned it on and, DEAD had to recharge it. but apart from the battery issues, very nice phone, excellent camera, nice features e.g. full QWERTY keyboard (if you want or just normal keypad) to text message, decent music player, ability to 'draw' on photos, ring volume is very loud!! and very very easy to sync with MS outlook! Would of been a "5" but the battery is an issue for me

I have owned the KU990 since January this year. The camera is fantastic in the day and ok during the evening. The macro feature is first class. The video recording works perfectly and helps capture the action all day! The other day I took over 100 photos, 5 5 min videos, checked my emails and did not even use up 1 bar of battery! I would say this phone is better then the 1st gen iPhone in almost every way!
