The LG KU990 Viewty comes with an original stylus dongle, that doesn’t plug anywhere into the handset. It is attached to the handstrap eyelet instead. It’s quite innovative and looks great, but we’re not convinced that it’s that convenient after all, to have your stylus dangle alongside the handset in everyday use. Price of this mobile is 17740 Indian Rupees.
