 The LG Viewty is a somewhat half-baked touchscreen phone. LG tries some interesting ideas, like handwriting recognition, but in our brief time with the device, we found the handwriting completely unreliable and frustrating, with our finger or the included stylus. Still, the phone packs serious camera and video chops, including video recording at 120fps for some nice slow-motion effects. Don't get excited, though, as the Viewty is only available in Europe. Release: January 2008. Price: $550.
Pros: Nice 5-megapixel camera, good video recording capabilities. Cool touch interface.
Cons: Unresponsive handwriting recognition. No U.S. carrier support.
