LG will soon be releasing their latest model, the Viewty. Combining state of the art design with state of the art technology the Viewty has everything. The design itself is stunning, keeping up with the LG tradition in this department. The whole phone is encased in aluminum with the back looking like a perfectly proportioned, slick digital camera and front a super stylish PDA. I’m a huge fan of way this phone looks.

So what impressed me initially? The high speed video capture technology is stand out. At present the only phone with this technology, it means you can capture anything or anyone at 120 frames per second. This gives you DVD quality playback and you can even watch videos in vivid slow motion. I’ve seen it in action and its extremely impressive. Using it for speeding cars and action shots is high on my agenda. This of course is nothing without the 5.0 megapixel Schneider Kreuznach lens for the camera which includes technology allowing you instant uploads to You Tube. Packed with all sorts of video and picture editing tools, the Viewty, much to my delight has four separate text messaging modes, including handwriting recognition software – using the touch screen – down to the standard alpha-numeric keys. What this phone can do is beginning to reveal itself.
