The LG CU500 was released in December 2006. It was LG Group's first cell phone in the United States to include HSDPA capability, and also the first cell phone to work with Cingular's HSDPA network.[1][2][5] The LG CU500v is a software upgrade to the LG CU500 which supports video calls.[6] The CU500v also supports microSD cards up to two gigabytes in size (the limit for the LG CU500 is 1 GB.)[citation needed]
[edit] Notes
- Used in NBC's hit show, The Office.
- Camera 1.3 MP 1280*960, Video QVGA 320*240.[citation needed]
- Actual standby time is 2–4 days with 3G disabled.[citation needed]
- The phone is incompatible with Mac OS X, including iSync.[citation needed]
- The CU500 is sold in Australia and Canada as the TU500.[citation needed]
- Although the LG CU500 is capable of updating its firmware over the air,[4] there is no known way to upgrade the CU500 to the CU500v.[citation needed]
- Users must choose "allow" or "deny" every time a Java ME application accesses a data network. The only way to get rid of this inconvenience is through an unsupported firmware modification.[citation needed]
