how much?

another device for Movie Managers to look for..

640x480x120fps???. Sign me up!

How much does it cost?

WTF, do new devices ever launch in the US?

@keyser:

No, the market is too hard to get into, our frequencies are different than the rest of the civilized world, and we are just doing everything back@sward, the companies don't want to make a prototype of a "gizmo" that does not operate anywhere else except US.

But feel no fear, we are still the most powerful third world country on this planet.

@ollifl:
Apparently we haven't heard of quad band phones. It's complete BS that they make all these cool new phones and conveniently leave out the one American band (not the Grand Funk Railroad one either)

They're free on contracts in the UK (about 30quid/$60 a month).

My brother couldn't stand the touch screen tho - it has to be pressed quite hard unlike the iPod touch he has.

No mention of a download on LGs support site to add this to old phones.

Finally!

I've been wanting to do some slow-motion pieces for my art course, but the quality sucked. I just hope it's available on old viewty phones.

Jesus Christ, times like these I fucking hate America and American CDMA bands (in no particular order).

I'd kill your mother for a phone with that sort of media functionality and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Shame on that shitty iPhone camera

one hundred and twenty frames per second?

shit, i'll buy this phone just for its camera features.

@ollifl: it supports 1900 band, which is used here in the US. So why not just order it from a European supplier, I've been doing that for years.

@scar98: @jkr: @legacye: @ollifl: @keyser: @jamesr242: @Sqube:

where have all you guys been? the KU990 has been out for a while now. this article is about the update to the software. NOT about the device. you can easily get it off the internet. ebay has tons of them. theyre GSM 900/1800/1900/hsdpa. as in "t-mobile and Att compatible"....

I cry foul. There is no possible way that this camera shoots 120 frames per second. Sorry. It can't write to flash that quickly.

Well whats really wierd is that there have been so many releases for t-mobile but none of them but the wing, the slide and the LX have hit the shelves.
I hate when they sey they're going to release and dont.
What ever happened to our Nokia N95???
Also what happened to the 3G network that was supposed to be rolled out in December.
Hopefully this gets to the states so i can upgrade mii wing im getting tired of having to open the seperate task manager to cancel processes to use the camera.

Well, as an owner of a Viewty and an iPod Touch I can't believe just how embarassingly kee-rap the phone is. The Viewty's touch screen requires a stiffer finger than I usually want to use in public and the software and UI seem bewildered by everything I try to do. Scrolling is goddamn tricky; you have to try and gouge the screen with your thumb and even then the menu/list has a tendency to bounce back the other way when you take your thumb off. Texting's a nightmare - laughable Graffiti/handwriting implementations or a baby qwerty keyboard which lacks simple things like apostrophes. You know, like we use in the English language. Wanna use the numbers keypad during a call - for voicemail etc? You can do it but it's an unimaginably awkward pain in the arse.

I know the iPhone/Touch software is a tough act to match but LG should be ashamed of how poor this thing is to actually use on a daily basis. A-fucking-shamed.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Deep breath]

So where do we get this software update then? That 120fps thing sounds like the shiznit

@ollifl: Actually cingular uses the same phones as the rest of the world. A lot of there phones work in europe. My last phone was a cingular branded quad band phone. Supposedly on my current phone you can unlock the fourth band also.

Why not make 720p HD at 60fps? I'd be happy with 30 though.

I never understood the point of mashing a camcorder into a cellphone. A more practical match would be a cellphone and a quesadilla maker!

Think about, warm and cheesy quesadillas after drunk dialing your ex. Now that's inovation I can sink my teeth into!

i got this phone and it is amazing, it is the best phone i have had. i did have the lg Prada, and the touchscreen was a bit crap on that, but on this phone it is so much better, and they made it so much easer to text on as well. and the video is very good,

5 stars

@izim1: Are you... are you a functioning illiterate? You didn't even pretend to read what I wrote. I said I want a phone, like this, with a slide out QWERTY keyboard on an American CDMA network. Reading is not that difficult.
