A WAP browser is included in the package, along with support for 3G connectivity and Bluetooth capabilities, not to mention that the phone comes with a wide range of applications pre-loaded. Among them, users will find Google Mail, Google Maps, Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, a Facebook widget, and others more.
The LG Viewty GT measures 107 x 54.5 x 11.8 mm and weighs in at 98 g. Its battery can offer up to 210 minutes of talk time, or up to 260 hours of standby time. With free Skype-to-Skype calls, Windows Live Messenger and Facebook widget, the device can easily prove a nice option for accessing social networking sites.
