Noah runs into Funk Flex at LG's booth and then takes us through the features of the Viewty GSM phone. This phone packs a 5MP camera, 120 fps high-speed video recording, and a 3" touchscreen into a pretty little package.

4/23/2008 7:29:57 PMi have this phone and its bullshit. tried to avoid the hype of the iphone and go for the better camera of the viewty and i was very disappointed. the image is poor and you can never achieve a sharp image. the touch screen is gooey and scratches easy. doesnt support wifi. and worst off im stuck in a 18 month contract!!

2/19/2008 4:35:58 PMA few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

2/19/2008 3:43:45 PMMotorola is not suck! I use a motorol v3i with itunes and i love it looks cool and the battery life is great. I love it!

1/29/2008 9:05:26 PMCome on, Iphones don't have much technology to be praised. Apple's gotta improve battery lives first. So is Motorola. They both suck.

1/13/2008 1:37:41 AMWhoa, dude you're the one who has to chill. I was just stating the facts. I got nothing against apple and the iphone but funtionality wise the LG offers more for pics & video whereas the iphone is more a music player with a phone thrown in. And for those wondering about the touchscreen, it works really well and is very responsive.

1/12/2008 4:12:03 PMhaha, the funny thing is, other than the touch (dont even want an iphone) i hate apple. windows is my OS, being on my way toward getting a bs in computer engineering. so yea, i dont want a iphone, and i dont want a mac, so how the fuck am i sucking apple's cock? I am just speaking what I see here man, chill the hell out.

1/11/2008 6:34:11 PMYeah, I saw he had to press stuff hard or repeatedly to get a function working.

1/11/2008 6:24:25 PMI have a mate with this phone, and the touch-screen is perfect, and it vibrates when you press it, and also the camera is immense, and basically it's a great phone for people who ain't posing... Just my opinion! I love iPhones too, don't get me wrong... Paulo

1/11/2008 12:58:54 PMi love how sure these iPhone fans are of themselfs......also i have one and the touch screeen is nothing like that , must be an early model because mine is perfect
kataclipse
1/11/2008 12:43:37 PMIphone has a nice design and touch screen. But that's it. The rest is old technology from Samsung's storehouse. So actually, it is really you sucking on Apple's cock, praising and/or owning a phone which is actually old technology put in a nice box.Get over it and stuck that iphone up your ass.

1/11/2008 6:47:37 AMit looks alright, it'd be better if the screen wasn't so soft and if it was faster

Coming soon! LGs 5.1 Megapixel Viewty (KU990)
With the announcement of the “Viewty” today also known as the KU990, the 5.1 mega-pixel camera phone with a direct Youtube upload feature is sure to turn the heads of many potential Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot customers. What the LG phone lacks in a catchy name it more than makes it up with a host of powerful features. The phone looks almost identical to the KE850 "Prada" phone. Although full specifications are not available at this time we do...

Re: LG KU990 "Viewty" = "Prada" ?

Here's the relevant excerpt from an LG press release I got: Viewty (KU990): The Viewty, a professional-level phone, includes features found on many high-end stand-alone cameras, including a manual focus option, an image stabilizer and an ISO 800 for indoor or night shooting. The phone also records video at up to 120 frames per second, the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera, which can be edited and uploaded directly to YouTube. A...
