Our studies indicate that the existing phones in the market allow youth to carry a small collection of songs. They have a desire to refresh music regularly. However, their music consumption is hindered by the exorbitant cost of downloading full length songs, which is about Rs. 40-45 per song."
Going by the features of the phone one can easily see that it is a phone for youth and packs very exciting features.

Most of the mobile companies today are working to put as many high end features as possible in their latest products. And camera is one of the feature the companies are working most on. But still a mobile phone camera has not been able to come at par with a digital camera. Many cellphones have tried to bridge the gap like increasing megapixel muscle like Samsung S8300 UltraTouch, Samsung Pixon M8800. LG Viewty Smart (LG-GC900) too is a commendable effort from LG in this arena. The handset has a 8 megapixel camera. The camera features an Intelligent Shot Mode that makes it easy to take great pictures by automatically analyzing scenes and adjusting camera settings accordingly. Multi-Face Detection, multiple shooting modes and more features bring it parallel to a standalone digital camera.
LG Viewty Smart (LG-GC900) has a 3" WVGA touchscreen with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels and DVD quality video recorder. The phone supports A-GPS based geotagging so that your friends can see the exact location where a photo was taken. The new baby from LG boasts of 7.2 Mbps HSDPA network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. So far as storage goes, the cellphone has a lot of room for all your media files. Viewty Smart has 1.5 GB of on-board memory and also supports MicroSD cards up to 32 GB.
LG Viewty Smart (LG-GC900) comes with the spectacular 3D S-Class UI that makes maneuvering many controls on the phone a breeze. For instance, an on-screen dial instantly switches shot modes and a thumbnail viewer that shows recently taken photos without having to switch to the photo gallery. There is a very nifty way to zoom in and out. To zoom in, simply move your finger in a clockwise circle on the touchscreen and to zoom out, move the finger in the opposite direction. The same is also possible with multi-touch pinching and stretching. Its 12.4mm thin body make it hard to believe that the cellphone has so many features.
LG Viewty Smart (LG-GC900) is all ready to hit store shelves in Europe in May and the expectations are that it will leave its predecessor (original Viewty, which has sold 6.5 million units) far behind.

Mobile Phone Numbers May Soon Have 11 Digits
If you find it a herculean task to recall remember the mobile phone numbers, you are in for more trouble as cellphone numbers in India may soon get an extra digit. Department of Telecom (DoT) is considering an 11-digit numbering system since the 10-digit numbering system may soon be exhausted given the unprecedented growth in cellphone market and users in the country.
Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC) which is the technical arm of DoT, has forwarded a plan to government in this regard. In 2003, the DoT had envisaged that the current numbering system will be sufficient for next 30 years. However, the growth of mobile users in the country has defied all the estimations. The approximate base limit of 10 digit numbers is 450 million subscribers, which is likely to get exhausted as soon as by early next year. The subscriber base, by the end of February, was around 376 million.
Implementing the new 11 digit numbering system for handsets will not be as difficult as it sounds. Either a digit will be prefixed of a new digit will be suffixed to the existing numbers. What is more, there will no requirement of changes at hardware level as the change will be implemented in software and it will take a few months for the changes to be in place.
Currently, China and UK use the 11 digit numbers for mobile phones. source
