Cingular carries LG CU500 HSDPA handset

The LG CU500 clamshell cellphone is now available to Cingular customers, making it the first HSDPA phone on offer by the company. The CU500 comes with features like a 1.3 megapixel camera that can swivel to take shots from most angles, dedicated music keys for instant MP3 playback, a microSD memory card slot, and stereo Bluetooth connectivity. Talktime is rated at 3.5 hours on average, but being the first HSDPA phone, that is excusable. The LG CU500 weighs 105g which makes it slightly heftier than other handsets. Do make sure your area has HSDPA coverage before you invest in one.
