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...

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.

by far the best cell i have ever owned! some issues with battery life and the small volume control on the side and no light under the "go" button. features are awesome. great sound, excellent reception and the style is very cool! internet and video features are much faster than expected! camera has several shutter tones as well as a silence which unlike the samsung e315(which is terribly loud). the camera features with the timer, multishot and zoom are amazing. overall i would reccomend this phone to anyone.
