CNETThe LG CU500 is one of the fastest phones we’ve ever tried, with swift downloads and impressive video streaming speeds. The feature set is impressive; the picture and audio quality are great; and the slim, attractive design is a bonus. |

Mobile Tech ReviewIf you love watching videos on your phone, this is a must have device! The 3G is zippy and the video playback is the best we’ve seen. The LG CU500 has a solid feature set for an affordably priced flip phone and it looks more costly than it is. |

LAPTOP MagazineAn impressive package of technologies comes in this surprisingly lightweight clamshell. If only LG and Cingular had been a little more original and a little more thoughtful in the presentation. |
