WRITE A REVIEW ON LG VIEWTY KU990

There are very few mobile phones which have a very large touchscreen and an excellent viewer interface to boot. LG has brought out its latest offering, the LG Viewty KU990 (a very unsuitable name for it, we feel). This touchscreen mobile phone has been packed with features so many by LG that even Q will be seconded in his packing skills for James Bond.

We are sure there will be comparisons with the Prada-another touchscreen from LG’s stables, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the Apple iPhone. The Viewty is neither a fashionable phone like the Prada, or a mini-music system like the Nokia 5800 Express Music nor like the multi faceted iPhone. It is just a large touchscreen mobile with an excellent mobile camera; or should we say a proper digital camera with call making facility.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that to be honest. One glance at the Viewty and it’s obvious that it was intended as a camera more than a phone. Viewty offers a 5MP camera with autofocus and Xenon flash. Its video recorder is quite capable too. It offers 120fps video recording capability when others in the market are bragging about their 20. Also included are loads of video and audio editing software, built-in, to add to that enviable experience of clicking amazing pictures with your mobile phone. It is extremely simple to edit your images and music files with a touch of a few keys. Here’s a mobile that will allow you to do what you used to on your desktop or your laptop. An extremely mobile editor I must say.

Needless to say it offers the best available internet connectivity. Now adding your videos to YouTube and MySpace can be instantaneous. Just CLICK, EDIT and UPLOAD… Its 3.5G connectivity allows you to video conference with anyone on the planet. To add to that it has an excellent media player which includes a Divx decoder that can play video files of numerous formats stored on your Micro SD card.

The touchscreen interface is good as any and offers various applications to use with it. Although it does not have the style and the oomph factor associated with the Prada, it has overtaken the other touchscreen models by a long way. The Flash based software is still fun to use with its really amazing speeds. This time around LG has also included a landscape-viewed, full screen QWERTY keyboard.

Size and Weight have been optimized in the Viewty despite it being loaded with features. It weighs around a hundred and ten grams and is 15mm thick. The features however have taken a toll on the operating speed of the Viewty. LG has claimed that it can remain in standby mode for around 400 hours but tests have shown otherwise. Also the battery takes a toll when the heavy editing software is used.

Even though there are a few put-offs one can’t complain about them when such awesome features are loaded onto one masterpiece.
