    No equalizers. SE is better due to its megabass. but you can always get the SE Bluetooth, HBH-ds220.

          Sweet. Well this is my second choice over a TyTN II. Especially if I can find a way of getting around T-Mobile's blocking to get some kind of MSN Java app on it ¬_¬

            yes the phone does come with a headphone adaptor with volume control on it so you can use your own headphones

            i'm gonna quote the phones instruction manual now for you

            "The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS1900 and W-CDMA network"

            hope this helps you

                but it looks cheap. And the sound is just acceptable.
                I bought Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220, blue tooth with 3.5 jackt. It will turn ur viewty into walkman.

                                i've had this phone for a week now pretty impressed with it (been an n series user for the last 2 years) the video recorder is briliant but am having a few issues that may interest you

                                1. you can only enter 100 items into the calender
                                2. you can only have 5 memos
                                3. the videos i've converted to divx (dexter and prison break) are playing at about what must be 20fps they are slightly "juddery"
                                4. unable to install java games/apps via a pc seems i have to use the internet connection to install

                                anyone with questions let me know i'll try to help

                                  Hello People

                                  Ive had the phone for 2 days now after I returned my SE K850i, and this phone is far better than the SE in terms of being user friendly and ergonomic. The camera I can say is not far behind the K850i but
                                  I think the Samsung G800( which is releasing soon ) will be the best out of the lot,as it adapts optical zoom. The touchscreen , menu ,tingtones all are fantastic in this stunning piece of technology. The 120fps video is just amazing... and someone mentioning the speakerphone... It is as good as the Nokia N95's but just little bit less loud. And the most important thing is the Battery life which is incredible. Way better than the N95 and also better than the K850i. Ive been fiddling around with it for 2 days, playing music , video's , calling mates bla bla... and still has 2 good bars showing up! Overall is the performer !

                                      GSMArena should've compared LG KU990 against N95, Nokia 6290 and Nokia 6233 in the Speakerphone test! As far as I know, those 3 Nokia phones have the LOUDEST speakerphone because of the positioning of the dual speakersn (they are placed in opposite sides beside the screen). N73 also has loud speakerphone, but not as loud as the 3 Nokia phones I previously mentioned.

                                      Anyway, LG KU990 is the BEST cameraphone so far! Even surpassing the image/video quality of SE K850 or Nokia N95!! Very surprising, since LG used to make crappy phones! Way to go, LG!

                                        flash in video mode isnt possible. Maybe you are referring to light-on during video. this is not also possible considering its a xenon flast.

                                        The UI is very intuitive and fast enough. Althoug you might see the lags but it can be compromise by the fun it brings you. Have you played wiht an iPHONE? just imagine something like that. Of course iphone is better in the sense that it has bigger screen. but considering the size of LG, thats understandable.

                                        i love the vibration effect. Camera is fantastic. the 120 fps is really amazing.
