CNET Asia Review

View score

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.

GREAT QUALITY Phone from LG



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: great community support for VIEWTY (check my previous review to find out where)
Cons: very little support from LG
Opinion:
I've had this phone for 15 months and the quality of the phone build shines out. The touchscreen still works perfectly (people should learn that you can calibrate the touchscreen of this phone so it performs better) , its still as sensitive as I want it to be (practice makes perfect folks). I myself bought the invisible shield to protect my phone (though people don't like the orange peel effect the protector has, I love it) and the phone has never been repaired or failed me yet. The phone is rock solid, no squeeks or rattles (most NOKIA phones past 1 yr show wear and tear because of cheap housings). My camera pictures have gotten praises left and right from people who see the images I take of my beautiful daughter. The video is bar none the best I have seen to date with DIVx quality. No other phone has even come close to it's video quality yet. My battery ... Read more

 

The best 5 megapixel video phone



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Video shoots at DIVx quality, 5 MP camera, completely customizable (read my review to find out), best non smart phone platform, last but not the least... great support from VIEWTY community (see review below)
Cons: Very slow firmware updates and support from LG
Opinion:
I know a lot of people have given this phone crap ratings, which is understandable. Most probably these people just haven't been able to reach out to a community that can actually help you out. You've probably tried reaching out to LG (which I have multiple times, even went to their warehouse / head office here in the philippines where their support group supposedly was). Personnaly, all I did to get the best help for my VIEWTY was use GOOGLE (I love the INTERNET). After doing a search I found this site based in the UK that has the best technical and support people to help you how to properly use your camera, how to properly take care of your battery, basically everything under the sun that you may need for your VIEWTY. From how to add new themes to making your speakers louder (more than what you think you could), to just a plethora of things possible in modifying ... Read more
