Had the phone 2 years now. Initially thought i made a mistake but got hooked on the excellent 5MB camera and video which I use to record squash games(high movement) and the quality is great for a cell phone. Don't use this feature, much but used the supplied software to convert a full length movie and the quality and large screen is fantastic!!!

Just awkward to type sms's without a stylus particullary when you want to insert a word or letter in existing text(no arrow keys to move the cursor. At the end of 2 years I need to recharge every second day.

I'm struggling to find a replacement with such a good video and camera

    worst mobile phone I ever had.
    1. first of all, there is no folder to organize your messages.
    2. useless setting of mass storage, even i have micro sd card, still the messages limits the send items to 200, and inbox to nearly 200 also, it really sun slow as snail.
    3. no equalizer in music player
    4. touch screen really sucks the hell out! really crazy, I dont know how they were able to sell this kind of phone (me, i was struck by CNET's review, which is stupid and sort of bias to that time)
    5. navigation, and shortcut keys are useless, there are lot of shortcut but only go to the same location.
    6. user manual sucks too! you cant find what your looking for in user manual as well as its LG webpage
    7. no f****** firmware update!
    8. no f****** support, or after sale support.
    9. the camera sucks too! i thought it was the highlight of that phone, but it end up just like a wanna be!
    10. so slow auto focus, always blurry, low light sucks

    these are the ten worst things i experienced with this phone. its really frustrating. and because of this I WILL NEVER EVER BUY AN LG PHONE AGAIN!

              When I open a website or browse in it, the websites appear very small and I can't seem to maximize or magnify it. Any idea how to solve the problem?

                i've been using this phone for 1 1/2 years, it's battery popped up after 3 months after the warranty period(1yr). dealers checked the phone and said that the motherboard draws more current and to replace it the cost is almost the same as the phone's value. i couldn't use the phone coz the battery went exhausted after 2-3 calls.
                i'm advising you to think twice if you want to buy this model. this lacks some of the features as i've experienced.
                -no return button (touch) in dial screen
                -can't install themes (only 3 available)
                -no equalizer support in media player
                -no alarm support in todo list
                -camera doesn't work well in low/high light conditions (does well in landscape shooting)
                -sms delivery report saved as a separate msg
                -can't add programs/icons to the shortcut(>>>) screen
                -weight too much
                -and some more
                so think twice..

                    I purchased LG viewty 2 years back, after 1 year the screen responsiveness gone. It was not responding to any touch on the screen. I got the screen replaced from LG service center. After few months Battery talk time reduced to 5 minutes. I purchased a new battery. Now its going to be 2 years and again screen is not responding. I am planning to purchase a new mobile rather than get it corrected. Overall I did not find the phone worth of its price.

                      sampth, 20 May 2010how to reduse the volume by using the callduring call, you can increase or decrease the volume by using the round dial near the camera, at the back of the phone. You can also mute the phone when there is incoming call by pressing the red or hang up button of the phone only once.

                            Anonymous, 04 May 2010How do you 'delete all' for contacts and messages?just go to options then mark/unmark, each entry or message on the list will have a tick box on the left side. on the uppermost corner of the list you should see another tick mark, which when checked, does all the entry or message. just press the hardware key "c" in the middle and this should delete everything.

                                  I had the original KU990 and now the KU990i and I have found it to be a really good phone with great features and menu, battery life was better with the original one! but still like the phone very much.

                                        I have had this phone for over 2 years now and think it was a great little phone. I'm actually finding it difficult to replace because some of the newer phones don't have some of it's features. It's been a real phone, great for talk and text with a choice of inputs. Good calendar. Trusty alarm that works even when the battery is flat and the phone has turned off - it runs the alarm with the last of it's energy. The 5MP camera is excellent and has a real strobe flash, not a single dim LED like most phones have. Movie camera can even do 120 fps. It even has a document viewer for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF, slow, but it works. As I said I'm finding it hard to replace now that my contract has expired. I might even hang onto it for a while longer!
