The LG Viewty is one of the highest specification mobile phone models. It is a touch screen phone which has a three inch screen and a five megapixel camera with flash. It comes in a variety of colours and finishes making it a suitable handset for the fashion conscious.
The quality of the camera is similar to that of many digital cameras and photographs taken in good light are clear. The HSDPA internet connection means that the user can upload photographs and videos directly onto the internet, making this phone a good choice for YouTube users. Video can also be taken in a slow-motion format which makes it fun for users to play with.
When compared with the iPhone, the touch screen does not function as easily. The menus can be slow when scrolling through them and there is no store for adding applications. If using the phone a lot then the battery life will not last long and the camera does not work so well in bad light, even with the flash.
The phone has a music player though no headphone jack and memory storage is limited though there is a slot for a removable memory card. A USB connection makes data transfer between computers and phones easy.
The handset can also read documents attached to emails in several formats including word, excel and pdf which makes emailing much more user friendly. For those looking for an alternative to the iPhone, the LG Viewty comes very close in terms of functions and usability.
