Up close with the LG CU400 for Cingular

by Chris Ziegler, posted Nov 19th 2006 at 2:11PM

Remember that CU400 on Cingular's latest rebate form? Well, turns out it's real -- and as the model number implies, it looks like it'll slot in right under the CU500 in Cingular and LG's 3G lineup. Granted, most of what we know about the clamshell is hearsay at this point, but we think it's safe to say that the monochrome external display and stub antenna foretell a lower-end 3G offering. As long as Bluetooth is in the box, we'll keep our complaints to a minimum. According to our sources, look for the CU400 to drop before the year's out (and possibly by the end of November) for $50 or less on contract. Click on for more pictures!

though stylish, Samsung did it well over 3 years ago when they released the SGH-P207:

What is the radiation level SAR rating (W/kg) of the CU 400. The CU 500 on is given at 1.12. It would seem this number would be standard with the specs. Is there another site that is up to date?

I just got one. My big beef was a loss of a feature compared to my Moto V551. Using my Mac & V551 I could sync with Bluetooth using OnSync. Now I have to use the LG data cable.

I just picked up 2 of the cu400 phones. Can't figure out how to change the menus. Up arrow for messages, right arrow for IM messeges. I would love to change that, but working for hours, couldn't figure that one out.

I've had my cu 400 about 3 months, and like it better than other phones I've had. My first phone was a "bag phone. Tells you how long I've had them! I especially like the camera, when I send a pic, it has the option of being full screen, many don't have that option. However, I am baffled about how to set the alarm to a certain time, rather than just the programmed # of minutes.
