It’s tempting to call the LG CU500 yet one more Razr clone. The LG CU500 Phone looks hazardously similar. However the clone moniker would be a disservice, because the LG CU500 is so much more than that. It is the first HSDPA phone offered by a North American carrier, which suggests it's the first phone that may reach connection speeds up to 1.8Mbps. The LG CU500 is the latest in a line of phones inspired by the Razr's style. Similar to the Samsung MM-A900 and the Sanyo Katana, the flip phone has that very same wide body and slim silhouette, though the inclusion of a rotating camera lens and external music controls actually makes it look just like the MM-A900. The LG CU500 phone can be a very little thicker and heavier at 3.8 by 1.95 by 0.76 inches and 3.7 ounces, however it still maintains a sleek and attractive form factor. It comes in black with some silver and chrome accents inside and out. The phone feels nice in the hand and pretty comfy once cradled against the ear.

At the top of the device is a rotating camera lens that swivels up to 180 degrees. You'll be able to switch easily from taking photos away from you to shooting self-portraits. Located underneath is a bright and colorful external screen, though it's a little small at 1.2 inches diagonally. The display has support for 65,000 colors, and we like that you are allowed to customize its background. It shows the date, time, battery and signal strength, and caller ID (and photo caller ID if you have it). You'll be able to use it as a self-portrait viewfinder, and it's going to show the currently playing song if you have activated the music player.

Right underneath the display are the music controls, that contains the rewind, play/pause, and fast-forward buttons. We found the controls to be extraordinarily convenient, since you'll be able access your music while not having to open the phone. On the left side are headset jack, the volume rocker, and a task manager button that permits you to multitask between completely different applications. When the headset is closed, you can use the button to access the music player and the camera/camcorder. While we love the functionality of the task button, its super-skinny shape makes it difficult to press and the same goes for the volume rocker on top of it.

Flip open the phone, and you may see a gorgeous internal display. The screen is of average size at 2 inches diagonally and supports 65,000 colors, that is not nearly as good because the 262,000 colors of the MM-A900 however still seems vivid and bright. You cannot modify the contrast or brightness; however you'll be able to set the backlight time and the font size for dialing. You can also choose more to modify the menu style to icon or list view.
