+ Easy to use and the phone looks good.

- on the text screen, the the button for exiting the screen is too near to buttons which are used frequently, so on many occasions i have gone to press a button and accadently pressed the exit button by mistake. This means i then have to either start the text again, or save it to drafts and fiddle about reteive the message to finish or send it.

+ Once you get the hand of using the LG Veiwty, it's the ideal phone to have. It allows you to do many things, that older phones couldn't do.

- Getting used to the touch screen was annouying, with scrolling down, but you get used to it.

- The battery life is absolutely pathetic, has to be charged a couple of times a day, more if I am online a lot.
The touch screen requires a pen which this phone doesn't have. So unless you have thin fingers or pointy nails it can be difficult to control, my husband can't use it at all!

Dean, Newport , “I have high standards ”

Score 8.0/10

+ Easy to navigate, good camera/video quality as expected, nice design

- Phone locks itself during calls, so it's difficult to access mid-call options, lack of features compared to similar 5MP camera phones, and when I put music on, you can't sort it alphabetically or whatever
