When we say Viewty, we think of an all-touchscreen device with powerful camera and great multimedia capabilities. I thought that was LG’s idea with the brand. Not so, it seems,…

Given the tremendous market position of LG Electronics, it is no wonder that each of their new introductions sell like hot cakes. LG is a company known for its innovation and ability to develop all kinds of electronic products. Its mobile phones are especially immensely popular with high-tech-wannabes. But even we are amazed at LG’s market presence when we learnt that the company has sold 5 million Viewty pieces globally, in just the last 14 months.

LG’s Viewty is a mobile phone that has it all – looks, style, touchscreen, 3.5G and 5MP autofocus camera. Who in their right senses would not like such a “babe” of a phone? Viewty has “touched” several countries across Europe and Asia. Too bad North America has so far been ignored – the company could have made an equal amount of sales here alone.

We think it is the LG Team’s originality that gets them close to the top spot. They untiringly keep introducing various colors, designs and features into their products, which makes the general junta simply drool for more!

The LG Viewty is one of the handsets which still comes with new color designs. Black, pink, dark silver, purple, red and now in white promise a really nice choice for user. Our new white Viewty or SH210/KH2100 still features 5 megapixel camera, 3 inches wide LCD screen, HSDPA 3.6Mbps and a MP3 player. The question is now: will it be available only for our Korean friends? We don’t hope so.

LG Electronics announced that it sales of its high-end touchscreen phones reached 7 million units at the end of the second quarter of this year, what is just five quarters after LG launched the world’s first full touchscreen handset, the Prada Phone by LG. LG top seller touchscreen phone is the LG Viewty, which reached more than 2 million sold units and is popular thanks to its 5.0-megapixel sharp camera and easy touchscreen interface. Venus and Voyager are also very familiar and favorite touchscreen phones and sold 1.6 and 1.3 million units respectively.

USD 530 was the average selling price of the 7 million touchscreen phones that LG sold.

“We were a true pioneer in touchscreen phones, applying for a total of 49 patents while developing the Prada Phone by LG,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President & CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “From the beginning we have worked to create phones that are extremely easy to use despite their myriad features. This is why our touchscreen phones have been so well received around the world. As the market for touchscreen phones continues to grow we will also continue our research in this area to create even more innovative products.”

According to a recent study, the global touchscreen handset market will reach 125 million units by 2010 and this is LG’s key to the company’s future success.
