LG's KU990 touchscreen "Viewty" is a 5 megapixel, HSDPA beauty

It's out. LG's newest heartthrob -- the KU990 -- is official and on the way to the UK (likely with Vodafone) this fall. The German IFA show at the end of the month will mark its coming out party seeing the KU990 dressed up in a 5.1 megapixel shooter with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, image stabilization (likely digital), auto focus, 120fps video, and ISO 800 sensitivity. Sure, the camera is nice and all, but this pup is packing a 3-inch, 240 x 400 touchscreen riding on 3G HSDPA data. Hoozah! With a European launch imminent (Sorry, no Stateside details), the wait for the iPhone is suddenly less of a burden, eh?

Holy.
Mother.
Of.
Christ.

*bows down*

I knew this day would come, a phone this pwnsome was finally contrived. Dudes, get prayed up, this is the long awaited second-coming of Jesus. Pick one up on your trek toward St. Peter.

Is this the Prada phone? Why don't they call it that?

No, it isn't 'the Prada phone', that was the KE850 which has been available for quite a while.
This model hasn't been released yet and is a (fairly) significant step forward from the KE850.

120fps video? Ultrasmooth video, but at what frame size? 64x48?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 21st 2007 5:21AM]

120 fps is at QVGA resolution and 30fps at VGA Resolution, you can believe me this product is absolutely amazing!!!!

So.. any word on a CDMA variant of this? Could this be the iPhone killer that Verizon is always talking about? It's such a joke if they consider the Q9M their iPhone killer...

About that, the summer is almost over, where the hell is this iPhone killer?

I'm just hoping the HSDPA is tri-band so it will work on this side of the pond. I suppose I should be hoping for quad-band, for all those T-Mobile folks out there, so here I go with my fingers crossed!

Nobody here is waiting for the iPhone!!! Why should we? HTC is making better devices for years!

HTC sucks man. It's just Windows mobile. iPhone is not only about specs, it's just as much about the OS. No phone rivals the iPhones OS in any way.
