LG U990 Viewty also Known as LG Viewty Ku990 on 3 Network Model name recognition can be a big stumbling block for the not so savvy consumer when looking to buy a new mobile phone, especially when researching online.

A good trick that potential customers tend to use is to search for the exact product name or code using a search engine to compare prices from different retailers from the organic results listed, this method is obviously to try and get the very best deal on the new product but what if that product is known by other names? There is then the problem that the consumer is not aware that the product is known by other descriptions and so may not always be getting the best deal. This applies in particular to mobile phones as rumour websites often use information gained from the body that approves new models which is sometimes changed after the product has been approved, the problem is that the websites publishing this information are then used by bloggers and other interested parties to write their own articles, the model names then circulate and make their way into the public domain where the general public then start to converse about these new models. When the model then comes to be released the manufacturer then assigns a new model name as do different networks, a typical example of this is a manufacturer called HTC who provide handsets to the UK networks. They had a model called the TyTN that was then renamed as the SPV M3100 by Orange, XDA Trion by O2 and MDA Vario II by T-Mobile so you can see where there may be some confusion. This has happened again recently with the launch of the new LG KU990, the many different names of this new device are: LG U990 LG Viewty LG KU990 LG NYX All very confusing and all the same mobile phone. For the purposes of this article I am going to refer to this model as the LG Viewty, it is a new touchscreen operated handset that incorporates a 5.0 megapixel camera, the camera has a zoom function for close up picture taking, a built-in flash unit for poor light conditions and video supports for recording and playing back short video clips. It is a 3G enabled device which allows for fast download speeds of new mobile content such as ringtones, games, themes and wallpapers as well as streaming video of the latest news headlines, movie trailers and music videos. There is also a secondary camera which when paired with 3G offers face to face video calling where the caller can actually see and hear the person they are conversing with. The LG Viewty has a new feature that has not been seen in a mobile phone before, it is full YouTube support, this new service allows users to record video clips on their mobile phone and then add some text before uploading directly to the YouTube website from the handset without the need to plug into a computer. The advice would be that to get the right price for a new mobile phone is to research the handset thoroughly and find out all of the different model names, search for these names in a search engine and compare the various deals, pop into the local mobile phone shop and ask them how the handset might otherwise be known and again compare prices. The more research a consumer can do on a product the more likely they are not only to learn more about it but to secure the best price. LG U990 Viewty also Known as LG Viewty Ku990 on 3 Network
