These days it seems like everyone and their mother is trying to rip off Motorola’s RAZR design, and LG is no different.  The CU500 is a slim clamshell with an internal antenna.  It is a quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) and tri-band UMTS (WCDMA) (850/1900/2100) phone.  Rumor has it that the only supported US bands are UTMS 850 and 1900 which means it is a perfect candidate for Cingular’s HSDPA high speed data network.  The included 1.3 megapixel camera swivels and eliminates the need for a second camera for video calling.  There are also external buttons to control music playback.  The phone is expected to be officially announced by Cingular soon.  We will keep you updated with details as more details about this handset become available.
