I just love this phone, smooth to use in every way. The little pen comes in handy for web browsing and texting with qwerty. I didn't really want a 5MP camera but it doesn't hurt :). The web browsing is divine, with full page view and all. The menu system is quick and intuitive but doesn't allow for much customisation like Sony Phones. If you want to browse the web, check emails, sync your calendar, to-do list and take great pictures, get it right now.
This phone doesnt need to be like its competitors. At the official un-vailing the handset was used with the models nail in an attempt to make it look as free style as the i-phone. WHY? Ok so the items on the screen can be a little small and harded to press.... so zoom in with the wheel! I dont like huge icons that make it look like a kids toy. It has a 3" screen and a stylus pen to give high res Net brousing at High G speeds to boot. The menu is simple to use and with this being the first LG to use a mem card aswell as a large built in memory there are few limits to what you can put on this phone. I use it to view my excel spreadsheets and even watch Shrek 3. One of the loudest phones ive had for ring tones and you can assign a start/shutdown sound aswell. COOL... There are a few bad fetures to this phone though.. like there will always be with a new design. I.e. There is not alot of compatable software and games yet because of the touch screen interface.. Most will tell you they are working on a compatable version and because of the stature of this phone.... i believe them. A great phone for music, high frame rate 120fps video and communication. Im not easy to please when it comes to new gadgets and i love it.
Great Phone, with loads of excellent different features. Good cheap touch screen phone as well, compared to the I Phone. Lots of accessories are also avaliable for it and it is a must buy!!!
loved the phone fast and efficent service, didnt dislike anything about this item. i decided to bid as the seller started at a low price, and the phone came with everything i need. excellent.
At first glance I was impressed – large 3 inch touch sensitive, easy navigable menu and a 5 mp camera. Then it got better. One question I did have, was it a camera with built in phone or a phone with a camera. When you hold one, you will understand this as up until now phones are phones and the camera is a bit of a gimmick. The ku990 camera does give excellent photos, action shots are not quite so good, as with all digital cameras but you can change the ISO from 100 right upto 800. This means that you can do the high speed photo. Another couple of novel features on the still camera are the ability to take panoramic shots as it give you 3 placings to match up your scene. Also you can change the focus from automatic to manual, allowing you to be more creative. On the video, you can film at 120 frames per second. The normal good image video is 30. When you play this back, everything is in slow motion. Excellent for recording those stunts. I wont mention the phone as most phones are the same. When it comes to putting in text, either recording your contacts info or surfing the web, you have a choice of the normal number pad letter on the touch sensitive screen, key pad as on your key board or even letter recognition. All of these are available with or without predictive text. One thing that is not clear and I have seen a couple of questions on the net, is how to clear a letter when a spelling mistake is made. The answer to this it the middle hard key at the bottom of the screen. So in summary, an excellent camera with built in phone or is that a phone with a built in camera
The LG KU990 is a really smart phone, and relatively easy to use. I've never had an LG KU990 before i've generally stuck to Sony Ericssons but I think I could be converted. The technology appears to be better and being able to write your own messages with the special pen is a real bonus. I've always been quite fast when sending messages to people and even been able to write them without seeing which keys i'm touching on the Sony Ericsson models, but this is much better with the handwriting recognition. It very well worth buying I would strongly recommend getting one. My only frustration is I seem unable to buy a hard pink cover for the phone, they only appear to come in black which isn't a major gripe.
I have had it about 2 month's now. Only one niggle when you view your photo's in full screen they dont fill the screen and you get foward and back icon's superimposed on top. battery life is good.MP3 player has shuffle. it's realy easy to get on the net and surf. alround a big improvement on my old phone (Motorola 3VX) recomended.
I think the seller was truthful of what he was selling and included 10 pictures so you know what you are paying for. I decided to buy it because it was good deal and looked the best out of all the ones i saw. also his rating is 100% antoehr reason and he kept in contact when sending it and any help need just mail which is also good from a seller. It was just such an amazing phone and i was glad to get it and have a good seller
First class phone. Got rid of my nokia N95 to buy a LG viewty and I am glad I did.
The touch screen works very well, it look great, battery lasts longer than my N95.
Give the key board writing a chance you need to cover the whole letter with your finger dont be scared to cover the whole letter you would like to type not need to just tap it just cover it!
The only down side to the phone and its only a small thing, It would have been better to have the stylis fitting into the phone rarther than hanging on the side of the phone.
In closing I did a lot of surfing finding out about the viewty and found the you tube clips very helpful. This phone is better than the i phone to use.
And it goes with out say you will find the best prices on ebay RRP £240-£250 on ebay £130 to £190, Just make sure you buy from a trusted seller, I brought from someone with 100% feedback.
this phone is perfect for me, it has a lot of features but is very simple to use, i read a lot about it being complicated but its one of the easiest phones i've used, the camera is great especially the panarama view, lets just say i was amazed at that, the touch screen is a welcome touch to the old fashioned buttons and responds really well, this phone has everything that you could need, all this and i only got the phone today,,,, buy it buy it buy it,
I genuinely love this phone. Having had touch screen mobile phones before i was not overly excited at the prospect of a new one. Lg however appear to have got it right this time. The buttons on screen are sized well enough to avoid pressing several things at once. The camera works brilliantly and is able to take pictures even when you are moving (as opposed to naff cameras where you have to remain perfectly still!). The themes on the phone are good and the menus are laid out well. Only nagging point is that in built ringtones and message tones are awful!. Would definatley recommend this phone to anyone, so much so the better half has just nought one as well.
