Considering the Viewty (LG KU990) is still not available in the States, it was given prime position at the LG booth next to the live DJ, with multiple units mounted around a large rotating animated robotic looking display. Viewty is a 5.1 megapixel quad band GSM camera phone. It boasts low-light capabilities, high-speed video recording (120fps), direct-to-YouTube uploading, a DivX player and handwriting recognition. The menu navigation is intuitive, the camera functionality extensive and styling minimal with an understated matt-black finish. Only criticism aside from the name (it's a viewty) is the missing lens protection, although it will be a while before we see that addressed in camera phones.

The notion that more megapixels equals a better picture has always bothered me. The lens has much more influence over the quality of the picture than resolutions above 1 megapixel do. On the flipside, this camera phone does look like it has a lot of nice features. Call Carl Zeiss and spend some of that megapixel money on a better lens, please!
Also the fact that you have to remove the battery to insert/remove the memory card. A real pain!
