LG Viewty (KU990) VS IPhone (Review)

There has been many rumours and arguments regarding these two phones. Lets just take a look at the features and draw up a conclusion.

LG Viewty Our Score 9.0

The Good:

• MP3 Player
• Full Size Touch Screen
• Internet Browser (can surf youtube, facebook, etc, works just like any normal PC browser would)
• 3G+ Internet Connection (loads web pages very quickly)
• PC Suite – you can use your phone as a internet modem
• 5 Mega Pixel Camera / Video Recorder – really high quality
• Picture Editing Software
• TV-OUT
• QWRTY Keyboard
• Phone Simply Doesn’t Crash!
• Phone charges while your uploading music on to it from your laptop
• Multitasking

The Bad:

• PC Suite “Music Manager” is slow when it comes to writing music on to your phone (however you can just take the memory card out and plug it in to your laptop and copy music over then it is mega quick)
• No Wi-Fi feature – however it does work on 3G+ so there is no real need for it, Ipone does have Wi – Fi only because it doesn’t support 3G.

IPhone Our Score 8.5

The Good:

• OS Leopard
• MP3 Player / IPod
• Synchronization With ITunes
• Safari - Internet Browser
• QWRTY Keyboard
• Phone charges while your uploading music on to it from your laptop
• WI FI Connection
• Multitasking
• Lots of different software

The Bad:

• 2 Mega pixel Camera
• No Video recoding
• Slow EDGE Connection
• Only available on O2 unless you buy it
• Very expensive handset

Conclusion:

For the money your are paying and for the current technology that is out there we have t face it and bow down to LG Viewty. I strongly believe that LG has done it, they have made IPhone killer. I can't stop using LG. Such a solid, easy to use, and amazing phone.

It has really quick internet connection, it doesn’t crash, takes amazing pictures, has a IPod style MP3 player. What more can you want? It does everything that IPhone does apart from Wi – Fi and ITunes synchronization.  This phone is just pleasure to use, and I am a person that is hard to impress! I am very impressed with this Phone, far more impressed then I was with IPhone.

IPhone is simply out of date only because it is using EDGE internet connection and it has 2 Mega pixel camera, that is about 3 years behind the current technology!

You can get LG Viewty on contract from Vodafone on £25 a month, now compare that to IPhone. I strongly believe that LG Viewty has not just met IPhone league but also gone beyond it.

LG has sold 310,000 models after 5 weeks of launch! It sold 6,300 units a day across Europe. However vocal Apple has kept figures to them selves. Clearly something is not right.
