Description
LG Viewty KU990 5 Megapixel Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
This lot is the LG Viewty KU990 5 megapixel touchscreen phone, brand new and GSM unlocked; the product name states no color, and the SKU points to the Black finish, so confirm with your account manager. Boxed new Viewty units suit collector shops and prop houses that want a complete, unused example of this 2007 camera phone rather than a loose handset.
The LG Viewty KU990 is a 2007 camera-first touchscreen feature phone, one of the better-known handsets of the year before smartphones took over. It pairs a 3-inch 240 x 400 touchscreen with a 5 MP autofocus camera carrying a Schneider-Kreuznach lens, a xenon-style strobe flash, image stabilization, and slow-motion QVGA video at 120 frames per second, which was unusual then. The radio is tri-band GSM with HSDPA 3G, and it supports DivX playback and TV-out.
TG Wireless supplies the Viewty to collector and retro-phone shops, prop houses, and exporters serving markets where GSM and UMTS service is still live. It is not a US activation phone.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed. The source listing for this model states the new unit ships in the original retail box with the original battery, battery door, charger, and user guide.
Network and compatibility
The Viewty KU990 is a 2G GSM and 3G HSDPA phone with no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022, T-Mobile switched off 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, and a phone without LTE and VoLTE gets no service on a US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to countries where GSM or UMTS networks remain live, collector and prop sales, and offline use of the camera and media player. The source calls the radio tri-band without naming frequencies; confirm band fit for the destination market.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-phone shops, where the Viewty's camera heritage and color range make it a recognizable 2007 piece.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need period-correct working touchscreen handsets from the late 2000s.
- Export to markets where 2G GSM or 3G UMTS service is still live and a 5 MP camera phone sells as a basic handset.
- Display units, museum or education pieces, and parts stock for shops servicing LG feature phones.
