LG's KU990 "Viewty" now available in Europe

You've waited oh-so-patiently for LG's Viewty to land, and you've even tried to subdue your anxiety by combing over a glowing review, so feel free to cut loose now that the KU990 is finally available. Yep, starting today users can snatch up the mobile in "major European countries" for a still unannounced price, but we're willing to bet you'll pony up for all the joy that touchscreen, five-megapixel camera, DivX support, TV out and HSDPA will bring. Unfortunately, LG fails to mention any specific carriers in its release, but we'd assume Vodafone (and potentially Orange in the not-too-distant future) will be picking it up in their respective regions.

UPDATE: A couple of folks in comments have mentioned that the Viewty is a go on O2.

This is an amazing phone..

Has anyone written an iSync plugin for this though.. I tried with Leopards iSync Plugin maker, but all tests failed :(

You would be in my debt (for at least an hour) if you could tell me where to find the iSync Plugin for this phone.. pretty please! :o)

this is a big sticking point with me .. i want my iCal events and ToDos on my phone - like i can with the Sony Ericsson k800i iSync works very smoothly with the Sony Ericsson, but the interface is not great - and the screen is so tiny - i still think the camera on the k800i has yet to be beaten (and certainly NOT by the new 5Mp K850 - which has had some terrible reviews, although i haven't used it personally).

my partner went for the viewty and she's completely in love with it, so i may just forget about syncing - perhaps manually entering appointments from my Mac screen to the phone will help me remember more. The Viewty is a very pretty phone, and the video is really great.

It is out in Europe... I have it on Vodafone Netherlands.
And no they acctually do not rape the software, everything is basicly up for you to set up. and the phone is brilliant...


Best internet and picture phone.
IPHONE can go fuck itself cause this is acctually a much better option.
yeah it is 3mm thicker but it adds up with 5 mm shorter. and inside it is much better if you ask me.

Do you think this amazing phone will ever come to the U.S? I would love to have it on the Verizon Network! They have a watered down version (the LG Voyager [VX10000]) coming out on Nov 21, but I want the one with all the bells and whistles!
