Ahhh another Apple iPhone clone in the market and it won't be the last one unfortunately. As you might know LG is a Korean company with a long history of making crappy phones. With the Viewty, LG has proven all its worthlessness in making phones. If you have bought one or you got one for free as an upgrade, I am really sorry. However, there are uses for this phone of course. If you really do not like somebody you can give it as a present so that the person will fell alienated from the world of mobile communications. But let's get to the practicalities:
I used this phone for about a week and I got exasperated. I almost wanted to go back to the 90's and have a Motorola; it clearly worked better than this one. The battery life is terrible compared to other phones, and the reception is not much better. But probably you will be drawn to this phone for other reason such as the big screen and the fashionable looks. The phone looks ok; however, the built quality is on par with a Russian car from the 70s. It feels like cheap plastic and doesn't weight that much given the size. This means that in emergency situations it cannot be even used as a weapon: USELESS!
But let's us talk user interface. How much do you like to spending 10 minutes writing an SMS, browsing around less then intuitive and slow menus, and getting lost in a number of sub-menus to call a person back? Well if the answer is not that much then stay away from this monstrosity.
A final note: how does it compare to the iPhone? The same a Ferrari compares to a Rover. May God saves us from these kinds of technologies in the future!
BOTTOM LINE:
2/10
DO NOT BUY EVEN WITH A GUN POINTED AT YOUR HEAD - unless of course you do not want a working phone
