I received this phone on the O2 network on Wednesday this week (24/10/07) and have been waiting patiently for it for so long. I am now sending it back after 3 days as the novelty of the phone wore off extremely quickly to be left with the stark reality that this phone is crying out for a Smartphone OS, a decent processor and a realistic amount of RAM. Some of the features that this phone carries are very impressive (camera, photo/video viewing, UI). The lag on some of the more simple features (screen scrolling, for example) was oh-so-apparent after only these few days. Having only seen the Prada and not used it, I can only assume that these issues were/are present on this phone also. I have heard of the LG smartphone that is supposed to be on its way running Windows Mobile - this, I feel, would be a safer bet if you still want to use the LG.
I didn't get a chance to use the 120 FPS feature of the video recorder and the 5.1 MP still camera promises a lot, but at a regular viewing size (1024x768 on the PC), there was no real noticeable difference between this camera and that found on the Sony Ericsson K750i - that is nearly 3 years old now... The whole point of having a camera phone in my opinion is the convenience of point and shoot, without having to carry 2 devices around. This camera, whilst fairly impressive, doesn't cause much of a worry to a standalone digicam, unlike the SE K850i or the N95. Plus, the convenience of having a camera in your pocket at all times is somewhat flawed by the amount of time it takes to load the camera. By the time you have managed to get the thing to load and focus (mine was set at 3MP at this stage, trying to improve performance) the subject of your picture has moved on and is no longer interested.
The UI on this phone is extremely simple and user friendly, however, the lack of a decent processor and associated operating memory means this is more of a saving grace, rather than the spectacle this phone promised to be.

grumble..
re:headphone jack,
for such a stylish phone, not a very elegant solution.
would it be so hard to put a jack on the top side? Oh well. I guess I will wait for US release, if that actually happens.
N95 will have to do until then

I take it there is not a 3.5mm headphone jack.. :(
Why do they have to make it with some custom port for that, and prolly supply with sub-par earbuds.
I will most likely get this fone to replace my n95, and use bluetooth stereo headphones.

Please advise before I preorder in Belgium. Has the Viewty a full agenda, to sync with outlook? The review says only a monthly or weekly view is possible. And maximum 100 events? Is it possible to sync my full outlook agenda and contacts in the viewty? Thanks in advance!
