7.  LG Viewty KU990
 
CNET Asia rating: 8.2 out of 10
The good: Touchscreen interface; 5-megapixel camera; HSDPA (3.5G); ability to upload videos straight to YouTube.
The bad: Lack of cover for the camera; lack of Wi-Fi; camera mode switch is a little tough to move.
The bottom line: This is one of LG's best phones yet. If you're looking for a good camera-phone, the LG Viewty is definitely worth checking out. From the vibrating touchscreen interface to the YouTube video capabilities and photo-editing app, we liked what it has to offer and think you will, too.
