A much-anticipated successor to the LG CU500 phone, the quad-band CU515 is loaded with multimedia features, including a built-in music player, a 1.3-megapixel digital camera, and support for AT&T's high-speed HSDPA wireless network. The combined functions make it an ideal choice for people who don't want to invest in an expensive smartphone but still want to take advantage of broadband-like speeds and video capture. The CU515 comes in a standard plum clamshell shape, with a stylish, cool exterior and elegant interior. A large 176 x 220 color display that supports more than 65,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover, while the outside cover sports a supplementary 96 x 64 LCD display that shows the time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way button on the handset's backlit control pad. And neither communication or storage are a problem thanks to the integrated USB slot and expandable microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, which supports up to 4 GB. Lastly, the phone includes an internal antenna that's safely tucked away, keeping the design compact and portable. Calling Features The CU515's internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts, while the built-in speakerphone makes it easy for your whole family to chat with grandma at once. The phone also includes Push-to-Talk functionality, which lets you instantly speak with one or up to 30 people at once. And because the CU515 is Bluetooth enabled, you can configure wireless headsets to the phone and enjoy total hands-free operation. Other calling features include voice dialing--which makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names--and a host of built-in ringtones. |
