Top 10 LG Viewty KU990 deals

Intro

Taking and editing professional looking photographs with a camera phone has become a reality with LG’s brilliant, stylish and function-rich Viewty KU 990 handset.

LG’s Viewty KU 990 handset combines the firm’s traditional design flourishes with a professional level camera that David Bailey wouldn’t turn his nose up at. Boasting an unparalleled array of functions for a cameraphone, the five megapixel camera includes a built-in image stabiliser and a manual focus function to help record clearer images. Users are also able to personalise the photos by writing on them digitally on the touchscreen with the stylus provided.

Photo editing software - also controlled by the stylus - can then be used to edit and manipulate pictures, with these able to be easily uploaded to the internet when they are finished. The camera also includes ISO 800 and SmartLight technology help create bright pictures, even indoors and at night – features that are ordinarily only found on high-end dedicated digital cameras.

Video recording is also of a standard well above standard camera phones, with users able to watch DVD-like content which has been recorded at 120 frames per second – the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera.

Further entertainment is provided by a good quality FM radio.

This is an easy to use phone. The camera is great for quick use when you're on the go and you need to take a picture of something. I had no problems with mine i love it, and it is one of the prettiest phones on the market.

This is a great phone, it looks really really cool and is totally reliable... my only real gripe is that there's no TV out function!

I agree that this phone could be packed with more features - I can't work out how to send animations in SMS messages with mine, something I have always been able to do with my Sony Ericsson. However, for an affordable touchscreen phone - you can't go wrong!

This is a nice looking phone and a great budget touchscreen option. However, the low price does mean it's a bit low on features - I could do with voice dialling, and SatNav!

I got my Viewty for free with my new contract - bargain of the century! There are a few little quirks that you will definitely get used to, but for the price it's a great little phone.
