The LG-KU990 (known and marketed as the LG Viewty) is a mobile phone manufactured by LG Electronics. It was released in India on Thursday, October 11, 2007.. A successor, the Viewty Smart, is due to be released in June 2009.
Features
Camera
The phone's main selling point is its DivX Certified playback and 5 megapixel digital camera with Schneider Kreuznach optics, a strobe flash, auto focus and an image stabilizer, which can also act as a 120 frame/s (320x240) digital video camera. It has an ISO 800-equivalent High-Sensitivity mode for night scenery shots and "Smart Light" for bright and clear images in the dark. According to the manufacturer, the camera's frame rate is high enough to film a balloon bursting. The device also has a web browser, audio and video player (supporting DivX), YouTube video uploader, Google Maps application, and document viewer for MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF files with a zoom function.
Limitations
The organiser in the phone can only store 100 calendar events and isn't listed on the compatible list with the popular GooSync, which helps sync phone calendars with Google Calendar.
Sales
LG have reported sales of 310,000 units in Europe in the first five weeks.A blog entry by UK mobile phone reseller Dial-A-Phone suggested that the Viewty may be outselling the Apple iPhone in the region, citing anecdotal reports of sluggish sales and Apple's reluctance to publish figures for the iPhone in the region as evidence. The pricing and featuresets of the two phones were used as an explanation. This story was picked up and widely reported by technology news sites and blogs, however without official sales figures for the iPhone, it cannot be confirmed or refuted at this time. There has yet to be an announcement on whether the phone will be released in the US.
