LG Viewty KU990 Black 5 Megapixel Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished LG Viewty KU990 in Black, the 5 megapixel touchscreen model, GSM unlocked. Units are reconditioned to close-to-new working order, not brand new, and TG tests each one before it ships. Refurbished black Viewtys are the economical choice for prop houses and exporters who need a working period handset and do not need retail packaging.
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: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
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.
