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.

Life is not Good

May 27, 2009

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Nice design
Cons: Power
Opinion:
I don't know if I got a lemon but I had problems with my LG KU990 right from the start. I have a suspicion there is something wrong with the circuit design (the KU990R came out so soon after the KU990).

The phone keeps shutting down on its own even when the phone shows fully charged. The service centre took a week (without a replacement) to change the entire "motherboard" but said my battery is faulty. (might as well give me a new one). I changed the battery but the phone last only about a day before i had to recharge.

It is one of the most "troublesome" phone I have ever bought. Life is NOT good.
