The mobile phones manufacturer LG have now released a new Silver LG Viewty to add to their expanding KU990 range of 5.0 megapixel camera phones.
The new LG Viewty Silver edition features a new sleek, silver casing that really sets off the large 3 inch touchscreen, giving it a depth and clarity that could not be appreciated with the older black casing. The idea behind the black version was to meld the casing and screen seamlessly with the phones display background being mostly black and the touchscreen keys also but the new silver casing frames the screen perfectly and gives the device a real smartphone come PDA quality.
As far as features, well, the LG Viewty Silver offers exactly the same technology and features as the original edition so it is not so much an upgrade as it is a new colour variant.
The original version has now enjoyed a complete UK network release meaning that it is now available on all UK networks, the same is not expected of the new Silver Viewty, maybe not making it as far as the 3 Mobile network or possibly even Vodafone but stranger things have happened in the mobile phones industry.
When 3 Mobile took on the original model they decided for whatever reasons to rename the phone from the standard LG KU990 Viewty to LG U990 Viewty, we are not sure what the point was in dropping one letter from the name but it certainly had consumers a little confused and meant a little more work when searching for a good deal, potential customers now have to search the search engines for both KU990 and U990 in order to gain the best deal possible, thanks 3 Mobile.
The LG KU990 Viewty Silver is the successor to the Prada phone by LG who have also announced that they are to release a silver version of the Prada phone in the near future.
The LG Viewty adds a 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA and comes in a fetching black finish with black keys, the new Silver edition features silver rather than black keys but the keys on the touchscreen are still the same. The phone is thicker than the LG Prada phone and slightly heavier aswell, the KU990 has a 3 inch touchscreen with an easy to use interface, users can simply touch the screen with their finger to select the option they require and scroll through the features by sliding their finger across the screen.
The 5.0 megapixel camera has a xenon flash, auto focus and ISO sensitivity adjustment, it can record high quality video at a staggering 120 frames per second and also offers a secondary VGA video calling camera for face to face video calls.
The LG Viewty also features a built-in FM radio, an MP3 player and a video player, a web browser and a document viewer, supporting Pocket Editions of Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and supprt for PDF files, but with no WiFi and with the phones advanced media features the LG KU990 Viewty is regarded more as a top end entertainment camera phone than it is a business device.
The Silver LG KU990 Viewty has been launched on both O2 and T-Mobile UK networks and is expected on pay as you go very soon with further network rollouts predicted.
