"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"
What I like:
Beautifully designed, haptic feedback is great. Organiser fab. Multimedia stuff is the nuts!
What I don't like:
Using multimedia apps drains the battery faster than a Hong Kong loo and I can't get YouTube on my handset :'( Why, why, why the pitiful choice of only 3 themes?
Review:
I wasn't intending to get a touch screen phone. In fact I'd been very happy with my SE Z520i, a great wee phone which after 3 years faithful service, succumbed to the white screen of death!
I was swayed by price and the 5mpx camera. The leap from the technology of the SE to the LG was enormous and I just love the Viewty, it's so intuitive to use. I've managed to easily download apps. I recommend FishText for Payg users it's really cut my texting costs.
My gripes are minor. Slow texting was resolved by using predictive text. The good stuff far outweighs the bad and I'm keeping this baby until 'white screen' time!

HTC HD2
Mind-blowingly good for a Windows Mobile smart phone, but it still left us with that 'if only' feeling
Acer beTouch E200
Has its moments, but its low-resolution touchscreen and lack of Wi-Fi support are disappointing
Vodafone 360 Samsung H1
Offers some fun features if you've got tonnes of contacts, but it can be hard to get your head around
