Photos: Hands-on with the LG Viewty Smart

In life, there's street smarts and there's book smarts. In mobile phones, there's smart phones and dumb phones. And then there's the LG Viewty Smart, which is neither. It's a touchscreen camera phone, like its predecessor, the Viewty. So just ignore the name, and focus on the goodies.

We finally got our hands on the Viewty Smart to see if it could tempt us to ditch our digital camera in favour of a photographer's phone. 

The Viewty Smart has a 3-inch (76mm) touchscreen, zippy 7.2Mbps HDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and 1.5GB of internal memory that can be expanded by up to 32GB using a microSD card.

There's also a music player with Dolby Mobile, which is supposed to make it sound "more spacious", a movie player that supports DivX and Xvid formats, and a TV output to watch it all on the big screen.

But that's all just gravy for a phone that's focused on photos. Click through to get a gander at this shiny snapper's specs.
