Latest Phones

The Good: This quad-band world phone was built with the media enthusiast in mind.  Apart from the usual array of features, the phone carries support for many of the most popular instant messaging clients, access to pre-paid satellite radio as well as networks such as MySpace and Cartoon Network.  Web surfing and downloads are fast via the phone’s 3G connectivity, and dedicated Push-to-Talk and conference calling allow conversations with up to 30 people simultaneously. 

The Bad: Despite the phone’s impressive feature set, the VGA camera is disappointing, with pictures and videos appearing grainy and blurred.  There is also no dedicated audio player and no expansion memory card slot.  Sound also sounds distorted at higher volumes, particularly so when using the in-built speakerphone.

The Bottom Line: While by no means a cheap phone, its slim profile, 3G connectivity and multimedia content access give the LG CU400 credible appeal. However the low quality camera and lack of expandability are disappointing.  All in all a worthy predecessor to the LG CU500.
