cheapest LG viewty contract?

tomanders91 · 26 Nov 2007 at 18:59

Whats the cheapest LG viewty contract? Ive found one for 27 a month on phones4u but im not sure what it means, something like mix and match, 1100 + 120 video minutes or something strange like that, any others? Im only 16 so i wont be using it too much, so i dont need much minutes or texts, its just too expensive to get an unlocked one on ebay lol.

edit: looking on the 3 website, they have something for £15 a month, 300 minutes or text mix and match, what exactly does that mean? It has 9.99 video calling adding on though, which you cant seem to take off

If not, im also interested in the N95 or similar.

mix and match means you can use the units on mins or txts, ie MnM 1100 means you have 1100 units to play with, 1 unit = 1 min = 1 txt

ah ok thanks.

Do you have to have that gay video calling thing on the 3 contracts? Its annoying because i really dont want it!

that charge is basically there way of charging you for the phone, apparantly under some law they are not allowed to charge £x every month for the phone, so they put the vid pack on to make up for it

ahh poo, oh well the cheapest for the viewty and N95 is £25 a month with mix and match, i may go for one of them soon.

tomanders91 · 26 Nov 2007 at 22:45

what do you reckon is the best for overall music and camera/video?

N95, Viewty, G600, K810i/k850i

Its a fight between the Viewty and the N95. If u like touchscreen then the viewty is what you want.

how is the n95 8gb different from the n95 apart from the obvious memory advantage?

cu3ed · 27 Nov 2007 at 16:16

Ive read the build quality was apparently improved in the 8GB version.

Didnt they iron out some bugs too!?

tomanders91 · 27 Nov 2007 at 16:18

yeah they did,

After looking at some video reviews on the viewty im pretty sure i want it, the video editing and stuff looks amazing!

What Will i get with LG in terms of internet and the youtube uploading from the phone and everything?

Sukh · 27 Nov 2007 at 16:57

Its got a full HTML browser, and you can get Opera Mini 4. Pitty it doesnt have wifi, will have to purchase a data package for internet?

Viewty YouTube functionality.

Hey folks

Getting my T-Mobile LG Viewty tomorrow, does anyone know if t-mobile supports one-click uploads to youtube or not?

How does youtube viewing work on the mobile, is it useable?

Thanks

tomanders91 · 27 Nov 2007 at 18:22

would also like to know this for the viewty on the network 3.

Also can you only do the video editing on VGA movies? Or can you do it in higher res ones or 120fps?

Maybe this could help:

One thing that currently bothers me though(as Im about to go for new contract) is whether the differences shown in the above video are worth about £300 which is the difference in total price between similar contracts on N95 with N95 8GB at Vodafone. Do you also reckon there would be any price reductions for those handsets soon(with Xmas comming etc)?

tomanders91 · 27 Nov 2007 at 22:34

is it me or does the three store now work atm? the main site does.

I read a review at http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ku990_viewty-review-167p3.php, about half way down it says:
'When it was first announced, the KU990 was supposed to have direct YouTube integration, but later on in the development process the feature was cancelled since most of the carriers didn't want their customers to have that feature. As LG stated the feature will be available only on Viewty units made for T-Mobile and Hutchinson.'

So I guess its on T-Mobile but not 3.

You can only edit in great detail 3GP videos, and not the VGA ones according to the reviews.

I've got one on T-Mobile and although it's not one click, it's stupidy easy. You just film your video and then in the options along with all the "send via bluetooth", "send via email" type bit there's a "Upload to YouTube" button.
