I think most of the trouble is the phone, but it may be AT&amp;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. <br />Don't ever buy this phone. AT&amp;T has been no help at all. Their attitude is "Gee, that's too bad for you".</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=32759#review32759 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=32759#review32759 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:06:08 GMT <p><i>dawnjo submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>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.

This is from a PHONE perspective and NOT a PDA perspective.<br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />-Display is bright, crisp, and graphics are pleasing to the eye; not to mention easy to read.<br /><br />-Signal is pretty crisp and clear, very few complaints in this department.<br /><br />-Speakerphone is EXTREMELY loud.<br /><br />-Nice bit of internal storage on the phone alone, with room for expansion. <br /><br />-Vibrate/ring a lot louder than most other phones I've used.<br /><br />-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.<br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />-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.<br /><br />-Feels a little bigger than most phones.<br /><br />-SD card slot underneath the battery. <br /><br />Overall an impressive entry from LG. A very good choice for the AT&amp;T network.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=30890#review30890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=30890#review30890 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 01:05:33 GMT <p><i>jennyjo submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>bought phone thru LETS TALK, had more choices then At&amp;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.

LG u guys once again have made a phone that looks like a champ, runs like a scamp. The battery life is worst then sub-par, the camera has to be held perfectly still for it to work like it should. the phone is very delicate, not that i have dropped it but its so dainty lol. the phone will freeze up on u alot so don't get into texting or talking to anyone for a long period of time because it wont last. this phone barley works as a paper weight. the Internet is quick and the 3g movie technology rocks, but i have a laptop for all thats worth, i dont need a junk phone!!! leave this on on the shelf if you see it folks, its a faulty piece of junk, if you like pretty purple phones that look good and don't function though this is right up your alley!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=28252#review28252 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=28252#review28252 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:15:28 GMT <p><i>esifritt submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone only a month ago. What made my decision to buy it in the first place was the nice sleek look, the raised keys, and other features such as camera/video,and good speaker phone. However,I have had a real problem with the service and signal. I go to school in Chicago(where the service is good &amp; always available) but I live in the deep country and when I am home all signal is UNAVAILABLE! (even when I do get to the nearest town- no service!) which means I cannot receive ANY calls or make ANY calls.I had a Samsung x427m (which is now considered prehistoric) before this phone and I had better service/signal with that outdated thing than I do now. I don't know if it's just my phone-but if nothing changes soon I am switching to a Razr V3- like my sister- because she gets service ANYWHERE at ANYTIME!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=28123#review28123 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=28123#review28123 Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:52:28 GMT <p><i>kathymcc123 submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>As someone who two years ago had submitted a review for the Samsung A-950 for Verizon I now am with AT&amp;T and just purchased two weeks ago the LG CU515 in Plum. <br /><br />Only Pros. <br /><br />Great battery life<br />Great speakerphone<br />Great key size, so easy to dial<br />etc., etc., etc.....<br /><br />Only con has to do with AT&amp;T and their choice of having Push to talk.

I needed a phone for work and I chose to get this one. Mainly because it's plum. :)<br /><br />The things I like about the phone are the size of the keypad. Nice big keys. I also like the feature that lets you hear what numbers you are pressing while dialing. This works good for dialing while driving. I like the screen resolution and the pictures come out decent. I like how the photo key is on the keypad and not on the side. I had an Audiovox that had the camera key on the side. I was constantly taking picture of the inside of my purse and running the battery down. I also like the fact it works my Samsung bluetooth headset, so I didn't need to purchase a second one.<br /><br />The few things I do not really like is the lack of voice dialing. That is why I gave it a 4. My LG Chocolate has the voice dialing and it is extremely useful while driving. I also didn't like the limit on message tones. I like being able to download and use other sounds. <br /><br />I'm not much into texting or web browsing with my phone so I've no comment on those features. :)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=26560#review26560 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=26560#review26560 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 23:26:30 GMT <p><i>aubreyxxlicious submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, but i am a very fast texter, and the software just doesn't seem to respond quick enough. i can feel myself pressing the 7 key, for example, four times. but the letter still comes up to be an "r." it happens to the other keys, too, and i am forced to text less than half the speed i normally would on a faster-responding phone. i read the other reviews that the battery life is quite decent, but i find myself having to recharge it every night. maybe i do text too much, or i just use it for pointless things too much. i don't talk much on this phone, btw. but i had a nokia 6102 before this one, and i had no problem with it. i would play games, text (much more than now), and call people. i would only have to charge it every three days or so. my dad has the same phone, and he says his battery is fine. he talks on the phone A LOT, and I'm not sure if its my phone thats the problem.<br />does anybody else have the "plum" color? thats the one i have.<br />maybe its just my phone.<br />please tell me if you have the same problem.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1320 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=26227#review26227 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1320&r=26227#review26227 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:45:21 GMT <p><i>bolocop submitted this review of the LG CU515:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>As a owner of several phones with several carriers, I can tell you the CU515 is a GREAT Phone with a few minor complaints.<br /><br />PROs:<br />*Loud earpiece and speakerphone<br />*Internet is fast<br />*Lightweight with nice profile<br />*Buttons are big and can't miss<br />*Good reception thus far<br />*Menus set up nicely. Right soft key is very useful<br />*Battery life is long<br />*able to silence ringer with a tap and able to reject calls with a hold of the volume key on the side<br />*Call log very detailed. Best ever.<br /><br />CONS:<br />*External screen is dim and can't control separately from main screen<br />*PTT button can be hit while opening phone. Luckily there is a confirmation prompt so PTT is not activated. PTT lock is available but seems useless.<br />*Earpiece is somewhat hollow sounding. No better than the KRZR, but worse than Nokias.<br />*"ok" button on 5-way toggle is easy to miss Not very precise<br />*MP3 ringtones have to be at 22K Hz sampling rate, not 44K Hz like most recordings. Can use "Audacity" to change this. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/<br />*Browser is the mobile version. My Nokia N73 has a true browser, like on a computer<br />*message notification tune not customizable. Must choose from the 10 given<br /><br /><br />In the end, it's a great phone to make calls.
