Light Lunch - Late
Phlog photo
The first pic taken with the new Viewty, not exactly inspiring but still so much better than what the 6120 would offer.

Popcorn Hour: The Snack not the Media Device

Popcorn Hours are nifty little devices, but I'm happy with the performance of XBMC, however I will happily eat the foodstuff!

Big Brother: Big Mouth
Phlog photo
Panel show coupled with reality tv, not exactly a good mix. While Big Brother is not exactly the most popular show in my demographic I do enjoy watching a house full of self-important wankers trying to upstage each other in the hope of making money beyond their season of the show.

For the girls it's quite obvious that they're only there to create an opportunity to get their tits out in Zoo Magazine for some cash.

Demoted: Nokia 6120
Phlog photo
My battered 6120, while I'll be sorry to lose some of it's good points (great Mac compatibility, simple design great reception) I'm very happy to be rid of the poor camera, lousy quality, intermittent drop-outs, Firmware problems and the like.

The LG Viewty is a very different beast but LG seems to have taken a new look at the whole "why do people want a fancy multi-featured phone" question and then try to make something that ticks the boxes.

LG Viewty: Camera Play #1
Phlog photo
Camera is locked in Macro Mode, no flash and a quiet dark corner of "the Nun". A pretty good result overall especially while I'm still learning what settings work best.

While it's very acceptable as a Point-n-Shoot Camera phoen there is a great array of real camera settings easily accessible to improve the chances of a "winning" shot.

LG Viewty: Camera Play #2
Phlog photo
Much the same shot without the Beer glass and Macro Mode. This time I left the camera to it's own decisions with the flash turned off.

Again not a bad shot out of the box.
