November 16th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK

Fancy getting a LG Viewty for free and having your bill paid? Shiny Media and LG have launched a Europe wide mobile blog project called City Clickers, which is of course open to UK residents. The aim is to get mobile bloggers to capture the style and character of their city though its residents. They are looking for ten creative people who are willing to go out and photograph the people around them in the spirit of the army of street style bloggers such as The Sartorialist and Face Hunter. Those taking part will be issued with a Viewty to carry...

Stephen Fry reviews the Viewty

November 7th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK

Stephen Fry (yes, that Stephen Fry), in his brand new "Dork Talk" column, gives the LG Viewty a bit of a whirl, and overall he's impressed: One neat feature: the screen can vibrate when touched, offering a kind of fingertip feedback that, once you're used to it, improves the whole relationship. In the end, I suspect this phone will attract more females than males, but what's wrong with that? I came expecting to scoff, but sent it back (reluctantly) to the PR company that let me play with it rather impressed. This is no iPhone killer any more than the Prada was,...

Viewty – a quick look at the camera

November 6th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK

As I've said once or twice before, we're really proud of the camera features on the new Viewty - but we thought it would be best to let the camera speak for itself. So here's a nice outdoor shot demonstrating the Viewty's capability, against a competitor's dedicated 5MP camera: Competitor cameraViewty As you can see, the blue in the sky comes out a lot clearer, and the midtones in the tree are a lot more distinct with the better contrast. The Viewty is also great in low-light conditions: Competitor cameraViewty The colour is brighter, despite he gloomy conditions, and the lines more distinct. On all...

Viewty – 120 frames per second high speed recording

November 2nd, 2007 by Dave@LGUK

One of the unique features the Viewty offers is 120 f/s video recording and this flipbook style animation neatly demonstrates it. The Viewty will record at 120 f/s and when played back at the standard 30 f/s the action appears in slow motion. You can see the difference between normal speed and 120 f/s slow motion playback in the video. This feature is great if your planning on recording sports, or indeed any kind of action shot and there have already been a few simple experiments that show what the camera is capable of. There is clearly plenty of scope for...

Viewty – the buzz is building

October 15th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK

With the launch of the Viewty round the corner there's a bit of buzz about LG’s latest handset. TechDigest have a report after having a play with it in Seoul (with some video available here) and we're glad that they were impressed with the video playback and the camera: Us bloggers can bang on about Viewty being an iPhone killer, but LG isn’t overtly fuelling the comparison, saying it sees Viewty as more focused on photography than music, with its five-megapixel camera. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone here who uses the term "iPhone killer" – while we're firm believers...

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...
