I personally do not like this phone. At 3 i get a 300 mix and match plan for 17 pounds a month, thats all i get, no internet or anything but oh well. The image quality is really good on this phone and i cannot fault this feature.
I went to London for 3 days and was continuously using my phone due to work, but silly me forgot my phone charger, and the phone lasted for 3 days and until i got home thankfully! before i brought this phone i should have looked at it more because it is very bulkey...

“Over all the phone is a good phone. ”
Written on: 19/08/2010 by em22 (8 reviews written)
Over all the phone is a good phone.
It has a good camera and has lots to do.
the battery life is quite good but had better battery life on other phones.
But the bad points are if you have big fingers its hard to use touch screen and then you can use the pen but it is fiddly.
Also the phoen freeze sometimes but only if you click one thing too much if it dosent load then you have to take the battery out and put it back in and turn the phone on again wich can be annoying!
If i had known this i...

Had the phone a while now. I really don't like this phone. Firstly you don't get told when you have nearly filled up with text messages so when you finish writing a text you can't send it or save in drafts. Also when texting the predictive text is awful, when trying to write the, it puts the, and when you try to write for, you get dmp. These are just really annoying little things though. When buying it there was lots or reviews saying about all the features- after an hour you will be bored... (read more)

Written on: 21/02/2010
I absolutly love this phone! It is by far the best phone I have ever had. I looks amazing, really stylish! But it's not all looks, oh no, the screen quality is really very good and it is very loud so you'll n ever miss a call or aalarm. The touch sscreen is very responsive, exsept for when your on the homepage and you want to look at the sub-menu, it will not respond which can get anoying! It also dosn't come with any games, but that dosn't bother me. It is a great music phone, however the... (read more)

The camera is very good and i love taking pictures with this phone, not really too keen on texting because its not very sensitive. wouldnt reccomend this phone, but hey your choice :) (read more)

Written on: 04/09/2009 by annietheaker (1 review written)
I bought the LG Viewty KU990I phone mainly for the 5 megapixel camera but the pictures are very dissapointing, very grainy and the colours are very wishy washy altogether no better than my last phone which was 1.5 megapixels. The phone itself has a lot of features and the touch screen is quite good. The battery life is very poor lasting just over a day. The phone didn't come with any software, it apparently is on the website to download! However I could not get the correct software... (read more)

LG KU990 is a phone with loads of extras however the style and handling of the phone was difficult to handle. i didnt like the touchscreen as it was hard to get into the thing you wanted and the free stick was no use and i ended up using my fingers for it. i got rid of the phone as it was a pain and i now have a simple buttoned phone which i prefer a lot more. the camera is a great up side of having this phone as it is 5mp and got a great quality. if u buy this phone then you have to have...

Written on: 30/04/2009 by Paulaj1969 (2 reviews written)
I love the LG KU990 Viewty phone! The touch screen was one of the things I was worried about, I thought it would be very much a finger tip thing and I would need both hands to text but it's easy to text with thumbs. I think a lot of the criticisms involve people giving up on it too quickly or faulty handsets but, providing the problem isn't a faulty handset it's about getting the settings to your own taste. I agree with several reviews I read before buying this phone where people said the... (read more)

This LG KU990 Viewty fone is really well made however I have been tearing my hair out over the PC Software. Whenevr I upload music (in every format) it fails. Any that I do get on there though won't display the song, album or art information. Apart from that though this is an great fone. The photo editing is very good with loads of options. (read more)

From all the reviws I read the LG KU990 Viewty appeared to be a fantastic phone. In fact, the phone is great but completely let down by the PC software it is supplied with.
The LG PC Suite is NOT Windows Vista compatible (LG have told me that today) but I cannot get synchronisation to work with Windows XP either. Every time I synchronize with Microsoft Outlook it opens 33 windows in 6 seconds which I cannot close!
So, I have no way of getting my contacts and calendar onto the phone - that...

Overall the LG KU990 Viewty (KU990) is a brilliant mobile phone with good touch screen technology as the handset vibrates on touch - you can choose to switch this feature on or off (haptics). The 5 mega pixel camera is brill and we love using the video technology of this handset as the recording during the day time is excellent.
You can have hours and hours of fun with this handset whether you are using the 120fps slow motion video recording, 3D gaming, watching MobileTV or becoming the...

Written on: 12/01/2009 by RoseyJay (4 reviews written)
Cverall i do like the LG KU990 Viewty, i love the camera feature and the picture editor is pretty good. it is quite annoying when things take time to happen, for example loading the camera up, and for your pictures to appear on screen when you want to just view them all. but it is smart and stylish and does pretty much everything you want, although i would recommend using a memory card if you want to store more than a few pictures/music/etc.

Despite having the phone for only a day and a half, it has frozen once, and i can see it happening again! nevertheless, i think this is a really good phone. great picture quality, and i think its easy to use. Its my first LG phone and i'm quite pleased with it. cost me £139 (well, father xmas) which i think is a great price for it. I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes photography, as their are many camera options to fiddle with, but not for people with fat fingers! (read more)

Written on: 26/12/2008 by rakeshn87
Its very good to buy the LG Viewty among the touch screen mobiles as compared to Nokia 5800 because in LG Viewty to open any kinda applications A Single Click is enough and in Nokia 5800 We're supposed to double click to open any application and the touch sensitivity also is no so good in Nokia 5800. So the LG Viewty is the best touch screen mobile I had ever had before.. (read more)

Written on: 17/12/2008
I love this phone...bought it for £99 in a silly sale in Carphone Warehouse, and have loved every minute. I took it to Paris with me recently (with a wrist strap!), and the camera certainly lived up to expectations. There's this great product called 'Phone Shield', which is basically a giant screen protector that goes over the entire phone, and stops it attracting fingerprints, and general rubbish :) the touch screen is not only a novelty, but it makes everything so much quicker!...

An Excellent mobile.. I have been using it for 1 month. There are lot of features, brilliant touch screen functionality. I can easily operate using our fingers, since the screen is big and no need for pen. The Camera is amazing... It has almost all the features, what a normal camera should have.... And the battery life is OK.. Comes for 3 days... For a TFT and Camera phone, This is good.. The only bad is the camera should have an external cover.... and the jog wheel to scroll thru menus,...

Great camera!
Cool colour (I have the purple one)
Got it well cheap (FREE upgrade paying £15 a month for unltd. texts and 200 mins!)
Texting is good! The camera is great
Nice colour ( I have the purple one)

Texting is actually easier with the touch screen than with buttons!
Although the sound is very disappointing.
