We’ll get to the general photography features later, but the most exciting addition is the ability to record video at 120fps – making it the world’s first camera phone to offer this.

Once you have that video you’ll want to do something with it and a single-click connection to YouTube allows you to share it on the internet immediately.

The LG KU990 – as the Viewty is officially known – is also LG’s first feature-oriented handset.

The 5.1-megapixel camera, manual focus and image stabiliser offer high-quality photographs – backed up by image-editing abilities to improve them further.

“The LG Black Label Series and our collaboration with Prada have cemented our position as an innovator in design and style,” said Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Mobile.

“With the launch of the new LG Viewty we are now also proving our commitment to technical enhancement and look forward to taking the feature phone category by storm.”
The LG Viewty will be available on contract with multiple operators in the UK later this year and will be officially revealed during IFA 2007 in Berlin on August 31, 2007.
