Reviews
“The LG Viewty Smart is a good evolution of its predecessor and a fun little phone to use, as well. However, I’m not the biggest fan of LG’s S-class UI and the email support on this device was also quite disappointing. The 8 megapixel camera was pretty decent, though definitely not the best on the market, and the web browser and HSDPA connection were both slower than I’d have liked, which is a shame. Overall, I’m happy to give the LG GC900 Viewty Smart a “Recommended” rating, though there is definitely still progress to be made with the S-class UI and the LG messaging systems that accompany it.” (Mobile Burn, 2009)
