Introduction

If you’ve ever felt the need for cell phone speed, your previous choices have been either Sprint or Verizon's EV-DO. EDGE networks from Cingular and T-Mobile simply didn't measure up. But Cingular has launched its High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) broadband network in around 20 major U.S. markets, bringing EV-DO-like 400-700 kbps speed to the GSM world. Cingular's first HSDPA phone is the LG CU500, available for the bargain price of just $79.99 with a contract and rebates. Not only does the CU500 bring broadband speed for Web surfing, it powers Cingular Video (a TV-clip service that includes exclusive HBO Mobile content among its copious content offerings) along with MobiTV and MobiRadio streaming TV and radio services. Aside from video, the CU500 is piled high with advanced features and performs mostly as promised, but with a couple of curious design and implementation shortcomings.
