LG Electronics launched the VIEWTY in October 2007 in the overseas market ,NAM was omitted as it depends on different sales bracket and technology. After its release quite some 14 months, LG have achieved the cumulative sales of 5,000,000 (350,000 domestic and overseas 4650000) Viewty handsets which is something to reckon with. Though it is not quite some feat compared to what a normal handset from Espoo does but for LG this is indeed something great and a memorable occassion. Its a true winner of a handset .
This is the combined selling capacity achieved in Asia and Europe alone and its great.
The 5 megapixel device features 3-inch TFT touch display, xenon flash, VGA@30fps and high-speed QVGA video recording. Despite some camera and flash issues the gadget has obviously earned enough fans to hit the 5 million mark.
To celebrate the event LG will start two new color lines of Viewty. Besides the well known black, dark silver, purple, red and pink versions, the market will also enjoy the new light blue and light silver alternatives. It seems LG may as well be aiming for another million or two.
Congrats to the LG team on this feat.
