Tough

15 Jul 2008 Shivesh Agarwal

7.6 out of 10

I bought this phone two years ago and have dropped it MANY times, but it's a really tough phone. There are barely any scratches and it works fine. The one complaint i have about it is that the vibrate is REALLY loud, when im in class or in a movie, i have to put it on silent because the vibrate is so loud. Also you set a separate ringtone for text messages, you can only use the preset ones, but otherwise the phone is a good buy, features are cool especially the rotating camera.

Not a good LG product...

25 May 2007 Manuel

5 out of 10

LG is offering a music player, a video camera with basic picture editing capabilities and internet connection in a small device that sometimes works as a phone.

The best features of the LG CU 500 is by far the Internet connectivity. Extremely fast and user friendly. Screen is very good for watching news, videos and whatever’s available on the corresponding network. As a camera is OK, not many features but at least, basic photo editing features.

Battery life is not what LG or Cingular claims and there is no extended battery available. When surfing the web or in constant talk time, one hour on the average. Standby mode will last 36 hours if nobody calls, the phone is not on vibrate and alarms are off.

The other problem is the phone itself. Although the bars may indicate full strength, the signal is very poor and callers will complain that they barely hear you. This problem is not limited to indoors or steel buildings; happens everywhere.

Stay away from this phone and consider one of the “Berries” instead.
