Answers to westy, natasha and rhi’s questions:
re Westys question:
“Hi
Im getting my LG Viewty tomorrow from T-Mobile i cant wait but there is one thing i need to know.
Some people are saying that it doesnt have a good battery life but some are syaing that it has a brilliant battery life which one is correct.
And also how much music can you hold on the LG viewty write back someone.
TA”
Battery life, if you turn off the vibrating screen I have found the battery life to be alot better. Im a text a holic and i also receive a few phone calls in the day, plus surf the web for about an average of 10 - 20 mins a day, and with the vibrating screen on it will last about a day (charging before you goto bed is a good idea), otherwise with it on silent, i would say about 2 days use. Bare in mind I dont turn my phone off at night, its left on all the time.
Im on tmobile and i love the web n walk tariff, unlimited internet, its great. I have to say tho that sometimes the browser works and sometimes it doesnt. This is the only downside for me. Being a windows mobile fan opera on a windows mobile device always managed to a get a connection, whereas using the built in browser on the viewty its kinda hit and miss. That aside when you are actually using the browser it is great and everything from texting to phone calls is sooo much easier due to the ease of use with the viewty.
I would recommend you getting at least a 2gb memory card for the phone. Thatll enable you to store a decent amount of music and films on it.
Plus the headphones you get with it are ok, but you plug these into a convertor which comes with the phone. this means that any 3.5mm ear / head phones should work with the phone, nice touch!
Re: Natashas question “I want one of these foe for xmas , i went into the shop and asked if they had them and the shop assistant had it in her pocket, when she took it out the back fell off, is this phone any good , does it hold a lot of songs , is it loud wb xx”
Yeah my phone does this sometimes, the back cover can come off, but as long as you make sure you push it down its ok. Think it also depends how you put it in your pocket. Mine only does it every now and then.
Song wise, I would recommend getting a memory card, from my experience a 2gb one works fine with the phone, for storing pictures and also for music and videos. Ive yet to watch a converted film but i can say that having owned alot of other phones in the past (everything from sony ericcsson, nokia and the various windows mobile handsets that are out there) this so far has been the best quality mp3 player. Bass and tones are more audible on this phone, and the quality sounds great. Cameras great in standard light and the flash and auto focus work well. Bit of bummer only being able to shoot the slow mo video recording, 120fps at a love 3xx x 2xx or whatever size but its still a good feature.
Ive found the LG Viewtys touchscreen to be very usable and the os while not very customizable to be very easy to use. Texting is simple with one handed use very possible on it.
Im happy with mine.
re: rhi’s queston “love this phone! one thing though - i cant get msn to work on it! I am with t mobile. My last phone (N95 shit phone btw) but it automatically set to hotmail.com but i am hotmail.co.uk and therefore cannot use it! On the nokia n95 it was same but would allow it! Please can someone help?? Thanks!”
Im still trying to get msn to work on my phone but when i had a three pay as you go sim in it, and could use msn, you can choose other email address and type it in there instead of using the hotmail.com, etc options that are there. i have my own website so i selected other email address and managed to get on messenger fine this way.
however changing to tmobile has proved that i cant use msn anymore, only seems to be an option on the three network, still trying to get around that!
Hope this has helped! Merry Christmas

usb transfer is quite slow so i’d recommend useing bluetooth for transfer as this is alot quicker. the battery life isn’t bad at all as many people have been saying, i use my viewty everyday and the battery only needs charging around every 4-5 days. i think the problem is that on the first charge up (when u take it out the box) u must charge it for a minimum of 12 hours! (i left mine charging over night) a message wil pop up after about 6 hours saying its fully charged, IT ISN’T! The battery only thinks that theres anough life for as long as u charged it for, when actually there is alot more. On the very first charge up, if u didn’t leave ur viewty on charge for a minimum of 12 hours, the battery is fcukd any i’d recommend buying a new one in order to use this phone for maximum life!
