LG CU515
Average Ratings
Worst phone I've ever owned
This is the worst phone I have ever used. I think most of the trouble is the phone, but it may be AT&T too. It drops calls. At times even with five bars, I don't get calls that I find later were trying to come through. The camera is terrible. Many times I will try to retrieve a text and I get "service unavailable" even with five bars. So, I have to turn the phone off and back on to get it to work.
Don't ever buy this phone. AT&T has been no help at all. Their attitude is "Gee, that's too bad for you".
Absolute dissapointment!!!!
I have had this phone for less than a month and wanted it from the first time I saw it (on line), I loved the color (PLUM) and it seemed to have all the options I wanted. I have never in my life been so wrong about anything!
PROS:
> Can't think of any!!
CONS:
> Color is totally different than it is shown to be on line, so dark it almost looks black!
> With the keys being the (almost) same color and made of plastic make it look really cheap!
> The screen is really small, it seems like there's a ton of 'wasted space' around the screen that could be utilized to make the actual display larger!
> Battery life is horrible, I have to charge it every night!
> The features aren't very 'customizable'
> The reception SUCKS!!!
I went from a Samsung SYNC (which I LOVE) to this, I have gone back to using my SYNC (since AT&T won't let me return/exchange the LG) until I find a phone that meets my expectations!!
Hehe its ok

-puch to talk is a pain in the ass, its right on the side.
-The colck and calander, why the [...] cant i get rid of it...its take up tons of space and covers up faces you have as backrounds.
-the front smudes so easy [...] !
-You cant put recored sounds as ringtones
-you cant customize your message sound

Ed. note: removed foul language
Excellent cell.
I just bought this phone a few days ago. It's fantastic.
PROS: Very fast response, easy to use navigation, sleek design, and quick charge time.
CONS: Gets smudges on it easily, Push To Talk button on side of phone is annoying if you don't have that feature in your plan, clock/calendar is unmovable and takes up a lot of screen space.
Disappointing
I can't believe LG does not have a way to disable the PTT side button. Called LG support and was told "Sorry, you'll have to make the best of it". Well, no I won't, it's being returned for a Moto RAZR.
PTT lock is virtually useless. This will probably be my last LG phone purchase.
Good RAZR Replacement
I've normally sworn off anything that's not a PDA, but occasionally I'll borrow a phone or 2 that is not in use just to test drive them to help with selling and thought I'd give my 2 cents. This is from a PHONE perspective and NOT a PDA perspective.
PROS:
-Display is bright, crisp, and graphics are pleasing to the eye; not to mention easy to read.
-Signal is pretty crisp and clear, very few complaints in this department.
-Speakerphone is EXTREMELY loud.
-Nice bit of internal storage on the phone alone, with room for expansion.
-Vibrate/ring a lot louder than most other phones I've used.
-Keypad is laid out well with the black on white scheme, not to mention the buttons are nicely spread out for those who religiously master T9 text. You'd be hard pressed to find a better "T9" phone that's out.
CONS:
-Camera quality was a little dissapointing for a 1.3MP cam. And the phone must be as still as a stone unless you like blurry pictures.
-Feels a little bigger than most phones.
-SD card slot underneath the battery.
Overall an impressive entry from LG. A very good choice for the AT&T network.
owned 2 days
bought phone thru LETS TALK, had more choices then At&T did. I got plum, my husband black. The first nite he was upset with the web browser being in the very center. We do not use the internet, so called att, and had it INactivated for now. The PTT I do not use, thinking of calling and seeing if I can deactive this also. So far on the 2nd day of use, GREAT!! Takes great pics. Still reading the owners manual. I recommend this phone. The smug marks are easily wiped off, but who cares, they hardly show at all. I plug my phone in every nite...good luck for those who purchase this phone, we are glad we did.
LG CU515 & Hearing Aids - Very Good
Background:Carrier AT&T - Indiana
Resound Hearing aids
PROs:
Hearing Aid compatibility - 5*** Finally, I can hear clearly on a cell phone WITHOUT using the T-coil -- although it is available -- WITHOUT any feedback - truly liberating. Indeed the sound is clearer without using the T-coil because of some feedback.
CONs:
Mac compatibility 1 - I am a Mac user and the only I could get my address book over to the phone was to export the vCard, individually, and send using Bluetooth. I found that I could do 5-10 at a time BUT the phone number always had some extra characters and needed to be edited. At least it was better than keying everything into the phone.
Address book - there does not appear to be a way to quickly access an address without scrolling.
Great phone, PTT works great
As a small business owner, i choose the LG for both looks and performance. I am glad I did. This phone performs on many different levels. The clients that I recommend the phones to seem to love it as well.
Battery life is great. I left the phones on for 12 days and still had battery life left. The phones are also true to form for the 3.5 hour talk time.
All in all this is agreat phone. I highly recommend.
