LG announced today a new Dark Silver colour option for its popular LG Viewty professional-level camera phone, which has now sold over 550,000 units. LG will begin offering the LG Viewty in Dark Silver in addition the current black.

Another improvement to the LG Viewty is a redesigned jog wheel that makes scrolling through menus even easier. This improvement is based on customer feedback and available in some markets.

The LG Viewty, which includes a 5.0 megapixel camera and a 3.0-inch touchscreen has now topped 550,000 units in sales. This comes only two and half months after the phone's November 2007 release in Europe. LG expects the LG Viewty will continue to sell well in Europe, where up to 10,000 units are leaving store shelves daily. The company attributes this success to the LG Viewty’s combination of top-notch features and great design.

This year LG will release even more colour choices for the LG Viewty.
