The LG CU500 was launched by Cingular Wireless two days ago, and it is a 3G phone, meaning you can enjoy all of the cool features of 3G network like video calling (which is the main feature for all 3G phones) and video downloading. It is available in 54 communities nearby the major markets of Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Gary (Ind.), Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland (Ore.), Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose (Calif.), Seattle, Tacoma (Wash.) and Washington D.C. but their 3G network will expand to most major markets by the end of 2006.

I have tested the LG CU500 and must say I have enjoyed every minute of it. It is very slim and stylish, with a smooth black exterior and also I must mention that it has a rotating 1.3-megapixel camera and built-in music player. With this phone you can watch streaming TV and listen to digital radio with 3D stereo sound through the built-in music player including external controls, customizable equalizer, and visualization.

Cingular is currently selling this phone for $149.99 after rebate and a 2-year service agreement - which is not that bad… But there is more to come: I got the word from Cingular Wireless that they are going to release some more new 3G phones like the Samsung's ZX-20 in the coming month… Can't wait..
