LG CU400 / CU405 Reviews

1. Time (dys)function

5 Aug 2008 by Kent

90%9out of 10

I have had this phone for over a year. Since day 1 it has trouble with keeping time. If I keep the time syncronized, it is 95% good. But if I let it keep time on its own, it is unreliable. Occasionally, I will be out of cell range for a while (like in the subway) and the time does not update. It might read 7:30 when it is really 11 or something.

Otherwise the phone is pretty good and has great features. Another negative is that the games included are all demos. I wish I had at least one full game on here to pass the time.

3. Best phone I've ever had.

This is the best phone I have ever had. I've had a razor, and this beat even that. The battery life isn't bad, it is kind of short notice though before it dies. Aside from that though, it's been great.

I've had this phone in the middle of the everglades to the middle of nowhere in Georgia, never had any problems with it. Only place I did have a problem was around Fort Stewart in Ga. Had all my bars, just couldn't connect. I think it may have been something from the base that was interferring with it.

Read all the reviews and keep in mind that people tend to exagerate things when they get upset. I had a friend who had a Blackberry, it dropped 1 call and he swore it was the biggest peice of dung because it dropped 1 call.

5. Not Bad

I seem to having the same problem as lots of other people with this phone. The battery life is just horrible. It'll show full charge one moment then 30 mins later, only one bar of battery left. Another 30 and the phone is dead. Everything else about this phone I absolutly love, If it could stay charged long enough to use it...

6. Helps to troubleshoot...

I have been on my cell phone plan long enough that I was able to upgrade from my Nokia 6030 to the LG CU400. I absolutely love the phone. It's my own little multi-media hub and never gives me any problems. I have had customers come in to the radioshack where I work with battery problems on the phone. Yet they are quickly resolved with ordering a new one. Try it :)
Great phone!

7. Battery has no Life

10 Apr 2007 by Tomb

Just bought a CU400 on Saturday (4-7-07). Followed the instructions and charged that puppy along with the bluetooth ear thingy that evening. Used the phone about 3 times on Easter and texted 4 messages on Monday. Monday at dinner time the battery indicator read 2 out of 3. This morning it was dead. Not warning me "hey dude, charge me", but rather absolute zero. Black screen. I'd opt for a smaller screen with better battery life. I'm returning it today... it is pointless to have cell phone that requires you to spend so much time plugged into a wall :(

8. LG CU400 Best call quality

9 Mar 2007 by Chris

100%10out of 10

It gets a very good signal, excellent reception. Calls are crystal clear. The screen is very large, and pleassent to look at. My wife has the LG Cu500, and it is also very nice , but this phone gets better reception and call clarity, which to me, is its most important trait.

9. NICE

My phone was dying so I had to get a new one. The CU400 was really the only Cingular phone that impressed me. Well the blackjack seemed cool, but I wasn't looking for a smartphone or blackberry.

It felt good in my hand. The construction isn't crappy. The phone is solidly built. Which is good, I dropped my last LG on the pavement multiple times (and let me tell you, it took the beating).

The menu is nice and easy to get around. I don't care about the camera or video or really anything except the address book and text message feature. Calls are nice and clear too.

I can't really rate the bells and whistles because I could care less, but everything else works great.

Some have complained about the battery life being short. The phone lasts me about 1 - 3 days before I need to charge it. Not bad at all. And I'm not goin to whine about the 2 seconds it takes to plug it into the wall.

10. Almost but not quite

Great looking phone. Excellent features, i.e., PTT, global connectivity.
Limited options, so- so reception, poor battery life. No software for pc connectivity.
