Wow, nice looking phone. Way too similar to the Samsung MM-A900 though.

I'd buy it.

Nice find, the "CU" part means its UMTS...hella thin compared to the v3x from where I sit.

Nice find, if we get more info ill pre-release sticky it for sure.

I'd never buy an LG with my own money, but it really looks nice.

The CU500 was also approved by FCC a couple of days ago, but most pages are still unavailable and do not show any information, except it is a quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and tri-band UMTS (WCDMA) (850/1900/2100), which turns it into global “world” 3G phone, which can operate in every continent.

Looks very promising for 3G phones in terms of design and thickness. That said, I wonder how low the battery life is on this thing...

I like that it is Quad Band GSM/ TriBand UMTS, but would never buy a LG. Hopefully Nokia or Sony Ericsson can make their future 3G offerings to Cingular with the same frequencies.

LG already makes a UMTS phone for Cingular called the CU320. The CU500 is HSDPA ALL-THE-WAY!

compared to the Samsung ZX-20, it is a much sweeter design.
