LG's 575 for AT&T

by Chris Ziegler, posted Mar 27th 2007 at 3:43PM

We were just casually wandering the expanses of LG's slick booth here at CTIA (stay tuned for more goodies from it) when we happened across this gem: a glass-encased flip simply known as "LG575." What caught our eye, though, was the telltale stylized AT&T globe on the OK button, so yeah, we pretty much know where it's headed. Judging from its appearance, we'd say its a midrange 3G piece in the same vein as the Samsung SYNC, but with an exterior that might be real metal (we couldn't be sure) and a clever-looking touch strip below the external display, presumably for music control. Judging from LG's recent naming convention for Cingular handsets, we wouldn't be terribly surprised to see this one turn into the "CU575," but who knows?

There is a CU575 listed in ATTingular's inventory system, so I think we can confirm the name of it at the very least.

An LG rep spoke with us at a recent company party (for the Cingular agent I work for) and referred to it as the CU575. It's basically the CU400 slimmed down slightly. Meh.

I brought an LG575 from telstra, looks nice, but a week later I visited a friend about 30 km from Darwin, sat down in a chair where my cdma had worked many times, told my friend about the new phone, went to demonstrate it, surprise surprise no signal, yet my work samsung 412 was along side it it had 2 bars on the meter, my friend was receiving calls on his nokia 6120, yet my week old LG575 was useless, took it back to telstra, and there attitude was bad luck, they registered as a black spot, as far as telstra is concerned its not there problem, so now each week when I visit my friend I take my samsung 412 along.
Moral of the story do your reseach first, or you could be like me with a week old LG575 sitting in the cupboard because Telstra said its a good phone.
