LG GC900 Viewty 2 turns official the Smart way,
LG Viewty Smart (known as Viewty 2) is now official and very similar to the current LG flagman - the Arena. S-Class UI, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS awaits you in the 12mm only thin body.
The popular LG Viewty has finally jumped into the next generation with its successor. Previously known as simply LG Viewty 2, the device is now cunningly called LG Viewty Smart.
The new LG Viewty Smart packs a 3-inch capacitive touch-display with WVGA resolution, an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and D1 video recording, accelerometer, 3G support, Wi-Fi and GPS. It runs on the new S-Class 3D user interface and most probably will have the multi-touch functions. Dolby Mobile technology along with the DivX/XviD support is also on board.
LG Viewty Smart
It's business as usual for LG, which showcased the LG Viewty Smart behind glass at the MWC 2009, but didn't really bother to reveal any more details about it. Instead they focused on the LG Arena.
As you can see the similarity to the LG Arena is quite obvious except for the better camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics and the lack of huge storage. Unfortunately the rumored xenon flash is not present, instead the Viewty Smart has a LED one.
The 8 megapixel camera lacks a xenon flash
Just like the KM900 Arena, the GC900 Viewty Smart is only 12mm thin but its weight is even less - 90 grams.
The LG Viewty Smart practically leaked on the German LG blog but the information about it was quickly removed with a promise of publishing it officially soon. We guess it's going to be soon, as according to the leaked Orange UK release schedule it's due for market availability in June.

If you are using Viewty now then there is no need to change to Viewty smart cause it actually only an interface upgrade from viewty. Beside interface, everything is the same. I just downgrading to Arena from i8510. Now plan to change to either i8910 or Viewty smart. Very hard to decide which on to go. But frankly i'm a bit lean toward i8910 due to it's large 3.7" AMOLED screen and Symbian system. Viewty Smart has the Xenon is the only reason that attract me. |

if ur more towards to camera person, the Xenon is a major upside.
as for me. from k800i to samsung g400 which uses led flash such a major downside until i hardly even use it anymore. i am camera person so ...

but i think i dun really impressed by its design. i'm looking into this because i'm totally into Viewty, but this time the design becomes like plastic and not that high-tec... hmm. the functions look nice, and pixel of the screen is doubled, nice! S-class 3d interface, nice too! video recording in 720x480 pixels, good! but the most down part is, no xenon flash. i'm now aiming for renoir, this viewty smart is dragging me away, but it lacks of xenon flash. if it likes k850i, have both the lights and xenon flash, then nice, but...

How is the S-class UI compared with S60? I'm kinda torn in between i8910 HD, LG GD900 Crystal and this, LG Viewty Smart. Don't really have a budget. But definitely cheaper the better and looking for a classy camera phone. My C902 went kaput. Now using my spare E71.
