The Bottom Line Though we had a few quibbles with the phone's design, overall we were pleased with the LG Shine CU720's impressive style and feature set. Despite a few quibbles with the touch screen, its full features and excellent performance make the LG Vu one of the hottest phones this year. The Z9 may not offer anything new but it's a fine cell phone in all regards. It offers an attractive design, a great feature set, and superb call quality. Though it could make better calls and its connection speed was somewhat slow, the Samsung SGH-A737 is a well-designed and full-featured multimedia cell phone. The LG CU515 is great for making calls, but it's not AT&T's best cell phone for multimedia and wireless broadband use.
