Advantages: So many features so little time, very easy to use!

Disadvantages: Not perfect if your a Texter! Stalls on occasion!

When the Viewty came out I immediately thought "I got to have one". So as soon as my phone contract was up for renewal, I bartered with the guy in the shop and eventually got my Viewty.

Its a great looking phone, a slide for protecting the charging element on one side, on the front only 3 small buttons, hardly visible when the phone is not in use and on the other side two further buttons, one for taking photos or video and one to stop shakes on pictures, there is another slider this is to choose between camera, video or video player.

On the reverse of the phone is a 5.0 mp auto/manual focus lens, a red eye reduction light and a flash.

I was a little worried when I first started to use the touch screen element as my initial worries were that I would touch it too hard or too soft and damage it, I need not have worried as it is a very sturdy phone. Its features are superb, and the quality of the photographs it produces are unbeleivable for a phone, I get better pictures from this than I do my own SLR Camera!!

I cannot praise this phone enough, for its features, ease of use, durability, battery life and much more.

I have a few qualms but I think they are more to do with touch screen phones in general, and they are as follows, I am a text addict and therefore on standard phones have got my texting down to a fine art, however due to the touch screen, my texting has had to slow down somewhat as you have to make sure that the phone recognises that you have actually touched a button!

I do also find that now and again the phone stalls, or crashes, this seems to be when the memory on the phone is getting fuller or when trying to open larger capacity photos, videos etc.

On the whole a great phone and surely a rival to the iPhone.

Summary: A great phone and perfect for 99% of the population!
