LG Viewty Smart coming this month to the UK, 12 megapixel beast to follow this year
Right on schedule, LG is apparently getting ready to start pushing out it’s newest touchscreen gem — the Viewty Smart. You hear that ‘other’ handset makers? It is possible to release a phone on schedule! As we’re sure you recall, this little dynamo sports a 3″ touchscreen display with WVGA resolution, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, aGPS, Wi-Fi and the 3D S-Class UI. Oh yeah, and it rocks an 8 megapixel camera capable of “DVD quality” video recording. Sweet. On a separate and even more intriguing note, LG reportedly told several UK blogs to expect a 12 megapixel handset to drop this year with “even more smart features”. Interest = piqued.

Can’t wait to see how this goes .
I’ll be interested in seeing how these sell. More spexifixally, will the high quality camera attract a lot or a few, and is this the first “crossover” device. For example, it might be a great second phone for those going on a weekend family outing where a camera is essential and a phone is a convenience instead of the other way around.
@Zach, “its” – not “it’s”
DVD like quality is nothing new! Several Nokia Nseries phones have been producing that quality for years. Where is our “blue ray quality” recording? Samsung has done HD Recording, now it is time for the usual names to take their place in this new arena.
“Hey thats a sweet camera!”
“Yea I know its awesome! Check out this.. and this.. and this..”
