Every once in a while, we see a phone that just blows our mind. Literally, it takes our breath away and quite frankly, the LG KU990 Viewty is one of the best phones we've ever seen!

So, first of all why the name Viewty? Well, after checking in the urban dictionary, which is where LG got the name, we found this:

Viewtiful: Something flashy or stylish. Someone with superpowers.

Yep, both of those sum up the LG Viewty pretty perfectly, really! It's built around the same Flash user interface as the Prada, with a massive screen, and full touch controls, making it an absolute joy to use. Incidentally, the animated wallpaper with the goldfish in a pond that follows your finger is possibly the single greatest thing we've ever seen!

Actually, we take that back. The camera on the LG Viewty takes that honour. Weighing in at a huge 5 megapixels, the photos you'll get out of it will be sharp and gorgeous. However, not content with giving it 5 megapixels, LG have also packed it full of features that are quite honestly stunning. So, you get the latest Schneider-Kreuznach lenses, image stabiliser (anti-shake is always welcome), ISO8000 Smartlight (for super sharp night shots) and best of all, manual focus. Want to focus on a particular thing? Just touch that bit of it on the LG Viewty's screen, and it focuses in on that person, or building, or whatever. That's not just novel, it's fantasticaly useful, too!

The LG KU990 Viewty will also record super-high quality video. Not only that, but you can slip it into 120 frames-per-second mode, and actually record slow-motion action shots. Then edit it to make your own movie. Oh, and then, with one button press, you can instantly upload the whole thing to Youtube. How cool is that??

Now throw in even more cool stuff, like Google maps, and plethora of media options, and the LG Viewty becomes one serious contender for best phone ever!
