I don't think the specs are that bad. What do you guys think about getting this phone? I'm getting one in a month or so (:

`ANITA
Oh, I got this on Monday. Haha. I like it so far.
The only thing that's getting on my nerves is how the qwerty keyboard isn't usable for web browsing. -.-"
V-ni@star

SYNsaish

Yes, yes, KU is for European countries, while KE is for United States.

One is just newer than the other. They can both be used in the US. KE990 is newer and is only in two colors, silver and black. All those other colors you see are from the KU990 which is older. KE has no 3G though and they have different features. Look up the specs on gsmarena for more info.

My mum has the KU990 Viewty.

It's damn gorgeous!
I really love the phone.
It has haptic features and the camera is excellent.

The only problem seems to be the scrollbar, which doesn't scroll so readily.

Other than that, it's sexy!

i'm using the KU990!
and up till now i still love it alot! especially the camera.

I don't think any US phone carrier has it. You will probably have to get it unlocked. I think At&t has carries another version the LG Vu, except without 5 mp camera.
Nancii
I want this phone so bad sleep.gif
Will it ever be in Canada? lmao
I need a new phone next year..
I_broke_a_nail!
i have it in black, unlocked for t-mobile and at&t.

i wanted it in pink but i had to wait for a month.
... now, THEY HAVE IT... and i'm stuck with the black one.

I know this is just a small detail about the phone, but damn, the ringtone is SO loud.
I think the max volume for ringtone is 10 and at level 3, the ringtone is deafening.
skwannabe
I was interested in this phone but I couldn't find a KE990 with 850mhz.... All the of Ke990 I bought were 1900mhz triband
LovelYoo
I'm getting this phone unlocked and in black at the end of this week~~ Hopefully it'll meet my expectations.. For those of you who have the phone, have you guys gotten cases for the phone at all? I've seen some silicone skins that are selling on ebay and they've come out in a lot of colors last time I've checked and I've already ordered a clear plastic one...
duckii
I'm just wondering, can you attach phone charms onto the phone?
mizuki-kun7
where do you buy it? and how much is it?

Yes, the hole for charms is on the top left corner of the phone. =)

Damn, I'd totally get this phone in black....but I'm too used to phones w/ QWERTY keyboards now, so dang it.
Elee
wow.. so sleek and pretty O_____O

amen!

it would be a good phone if it wasn't so fricken thick.
I still think the lg prada is better LOOK-wise. Although the 5 mp camera on the viewty makes everything SO much nicer
kmin012
But if you have a digital camera...you don't need a 5mp cam sleep.gif

i just ordered the baby pink, can you believe i lost my blackberry today after looking at this thread so often this week?! hope i don't lose this baby too
philophobia.
^ WHERE DID U ORDER ur pink one?

SYNsaish

Romance* ©
T___T
I'm so torn between practicality and aesthetics. lol

I want the KU990 really bad-- but the 707SCII looks so SLICK! argh mad.gif
I think I'm leaning towards the KU990 though; it's just more useful and makes more sense.

I'm glad everyone likes it so far!
is anyone willing to do a full review of it? O:
or is there already a thread for it floating around? >__>

i ordered mines from www.myworldphone.com. they have really cheap phones, and good service.

i got my viewty for $380 and they have the cheapest shipping fee than any other sites i checked...

i got it in like 5 days..usually its 2-3 days, but i live in hawaii so it takes a little longer.

this phone is a lot smaller than i thought....i love it!

Eh, if you see videos of it, it's not that thick, specs wise it's about as thick as a blackberry pearl. Is that considered thick? ._.
alley
so this phone works w. t-mobile for sure right?
im thinking about saving up and getting myself one =]

I agree. In my opinion, it's not as thick as you would expect it to be (at least that's my experience).

And yes, it will work with T-mobile. =)
It will work with any company that uses SIM cards.

do you guys use a screen protector on your Viewtys?
I have the one that came in the box on mine, but often times I feel that it desensitizes the touch screen by a lot.
cee.jay
^ Yeah I have the one that came on the box and it does desensitize the touch screen alot haha sad.gif
flyxme.

abusegirl
