The LG Viewty Smart GC900 packs an 8-megapixel camera into a slim package, but, like most camera phones, it can't overcome its tiny lens and CCD, so its photos are a mixed bag. Its interface is equally two-sided, offering a quick phone dialling pad but a nightmarishly slow soft keyboard that requires a steady hand and nerves of steel to type a coherent message.

You can pick up the Viewty Smart from free on a £35-per-month contract or for £320 on pay as you go, both with O2.

The Viewty Smart rocks an 8-megapixel camera, but it's plasticky proof that megapixels aren't everything. Like all camera phones, you shouldn't expect to see the same quality pics that you would get from even a cheap compact camera with the same number of megapixels -- the tiny lens and small CCD just can't produce a great image, especially in low light.
