LG's Viewty Smart follows on from the popular Viewty, with an 8-megapixel camera and a high-resolution 800x480 touchscreen. It uses the same underlying interface as LG's GT505, but with four main screens that you can personalise with apps, widgets, con...

You either like a phone interface or you don’t. It’s a snap decision. I like what LG does, and I have done since I was given an LG Renoir to test and I didn’t want to give it back. The last LG to grace the Wired office was the Arena, which also won pla...
