LG CU515 - black (AT&T) price range: $78.95
- Reviewed by: Kent German
- Reviewed on: 11/28/2007
The good: The LG CU515 offers a simple, user-friendly design, decent call quality, and a solid feature set that includes 3.5G support, Push to Talk, stereo Bluetooth, and world phone capability.
The bad: The LG CU515 has a disappointing external display and it lacks a camera flash and voice dialing. Photo and streaming video quality were uneven.
The bottom line: The LG CU515 is great for making calls, but it's not AT&T's best cell phone for multimedia and wireless broadband use.
Though LG's CDMA cell phones like the Rumor and the Voyager tend to get all the glory (at least in the United States), the manufacturer offers quality GSM handsets, as well. You won't find any at T-Mobile, but AT&T sells the
Design
With its minimalist design and clean lines, the CU515 looks somewhat like Sprint's LG Muziq. Sure, the CU515 lacks its predecessor's external music controls, but the two handsets are roughly the same size (3.78 inches by 1.95 inches by 0.72 inch vs. 3.8 inches by 1.95 inches by 0.61 inch). The CU515 is a tad heavier (3.36 ounces vs. 3.14 ounces), but it still makes for a comfortable feel in the hand and it slips easily into a pocket. As with the Muziq, the CU515's unassuming design doesn't quite reflect the high-end features inside. But for some people, that's quite all right. The CU515 is available in black (our review model) or plum.
Front and center is the CU515's externa,ll display. It's not quite what we were hoping for on a phone of this caliber; not only is it rather small (0.98 inch, 96x64 pixels) but it's also monochrome, neither of which is ideal on a megapixel camera phone. The display won't function as a viewfinder for self-portraits and it doesn't support photo caller ID. It does show the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and numeric caller ID, but only the brightness level is adjustable. Completing the exterior of the phone are a volume rocker and the PTT button on the left spine while the microSD card slot and headset/charger jack sit on the right spine. The speakerphone button on the top of the rear face is a unique feature. Though we like that it lets us easily activate the speakerphone when we're on a call, we'd instead prefer to find such a control on the phone's side.
Fortunately, the CU515 offers a better interior display. At 2 inches (176x220 pixels), the screen is a decent size and its 262,000-color resolution makes it pleasing to the eye. Colors were bright and the graphics and animations were vibrant. The simple, user-friendly menus also looked good, and it performed nicely as a viewfinder for the camera. You can change the display's backlight time, brightness, and the dialing font size and color.
Below the screen is the well-designed navigation array, which closely resembles the LG Muziq. The arrangement is spacious, and although the controls are flat with the surface of the phone, they're tactile and easy to use by feel. There's a four-way toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, a camera shortcut, a Clear control, and the Talk and End/Power button. There's also a button for opening a multitask menu, and the toggle doubles as a shortcut to the Messaging menu, the instant messaging application, your Contacts list, and the My Stuff folder. The OK button in the middle of the toggle activates the Web browser when the phone is in standby mode; to open the main menu you have to use the left soft key instead.
The keypad buttons also resemble those on the Muziq. They're also flat with the surface of the phone, but their large size makes them easy to use. We avoided misdials, but even quick texters may need to look at the keys if they want to bang out a message. The numbers on the keys are larger, but the backlighting could be a tad brighter.
Features
The CU515 has a 500-contact phone book. That's a tad small, but there's room in each entry for five phone numbers, two e-mail address, and notes (the SIM card holds an additional 250 names). You can save callers to groups or pair them with one of 10 polyphonic ringtones. You can assign your contacts a photo, as well, but keep in mind they won't show up on the external display. PTT contacts are organized in a separate list, where you can save up to 99 individual contacts and 30 groups.
Basic features on the LGCU515 include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calculator, a voice recorder, a calendar, a tip calculator, a world clock, a task list, a stop watch, and a unit converter. Two unusual applications are a date finder, which shows you the current date, a future target date, and number of days between the two, and a D-day counter, which acts like a countdown timer. Higher-end features include instant messaging, USB mass storage, e-mail, and stereo Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the CU515 doesn't support voice commands.
The CU515's 1.3-megapixal camera takes pictures in four resolutions (1,280x960, 640x480, 320x240, and 160x120), and three quality settings (super fine, fine, and normal). Other features options include a self timer, brightness and white balance settings, a self timer, three color effects, and three shutter tones (plus a silent option). There's also an 8x zoom and a multishot mode, though neither is available in the highest resolution. When finished with your photos, you can use the integrated photo-editing tool to resize, crop, and rotate your images or change the color effect. The camcorder shoots clips in a 176x144 resolution with sound. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 45 seconds; otherwise you can shoot for as long as the available memory permits. The CU515 offers 55MB of internal memory. That's a decent amount, but we'd recommend investing in a microSD card slot for good measure. The CU515 can handle cards up to 4GB. Photo quality wasn't great. Our images were blurry and had a yellow tint.
As a 3.5G HSDPA device, the CU515 supports the full range of AT&T broadband multimedia applications. Cellular Video brings a wide variety of streaming video clips from such channels as NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, The Weather Channel, VH1, and CNN. There's a special channel for kids as well, with programming from The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network and Muppets Mobile. Premium entertainment is offered from HBO Mobile and Music Choice for an extra charge. For a full analysis of the offerings see our Cellular Video review. MobiTV applications are integrated as well. The handset also supports AT&T's Video Share application, which allows you to send live or recorded videos to friends while you're on a call (provided they also have a Video Share phone).
If you're more interested in listening to tunes, the CU515 also supports the AT&T Music application. The handset offers other music services including support for XM Radio Mobile, a Music ID application, a Billboard Mobile channel, and a community section with access to fan sites. The music player interface is like that on other AT&T music phones; the interface is basic and features are limited to shuffle and repeat modes, playlists, and an airplane mode.
You can personalize the CU515 with a variety of wallpapers, calendar styles, and color themes. If you'd like more choices you can download additional options and ringtones via the AP 2.0 wireless Web browser. The CU515 comes with demo versions of five games: Brain Challenge, Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man, Tetris, Tower Bloxx, and World Poker Tour.
Performance
We tested the quadband, dual-mode (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS; EDGE) LG CU515 world phone in San Francisco using AT&T service. Call quality was generally good during our test period. We had no trouble getting a signal, and the connection remained free of static or interference. During conversations voices sounded natural even if there was a very slight hissing sound at times. The volume level was decent as well though some users might find it a little soft. Users with hearing impairments way want to give the phone a test drive first.
On their end callers said we sounded good. They could tell we were using a cell phone, but they didn't have problems understanding us, even when we were in noisy environments. The only complaint was that the sound cut out for a second or two at times. That could be because of their phones, but we heard it from more than one person. On the other hand, we didn't have issues with automated calling systems. Speakerphone calls were quite good. We enjoyed enough volume, and we could hear callers clearly, even though the phone's speaker faces backwards. Callers also said they were satisfied as long as we spoke close to the phone and we didn't use it outside.
The CU515 supports the 850 and 1900 UMTS/HSSDPA bands so our connection remained strong as long as we stayed within San Francisco proper. Streaming video quality was somewhat hit or miss, however. Clips took about 10 seconds to download, which isn't bad, but browsing through the Cellualr Videos menus seemed a tad pokey. Individual clips were variable; while some were smooth and crisp, others had noticeable pixelation and jerky movements. Also, when we tried to watch a preview of the The Mist, we received a message that said that because of popular demand, the clip was unavailable at the moment. That's a first for Cellular Video. That said, sound quality for the videos was decent. Voices matched the speakers' mouths and the speakers provided good output. Sound quality for the music player was satisfactory, as well, but headphones will provide the best experience.
The CU515 has a rated battery life of 3.5 hours of talk time and 16 days of standby time. Promised talk time is rather low for a GSM phone. According to FCC radiation tests, the CU515 has a digital digital SAR rating of 1.3 watts per kilogram.

Nice phone, but call quailty lacking
by beccanet on December 23, 2007
Pros: Intuitive menus, overall look, keypad
Cons: Call quality, charging, too shiny, bluetooth music playing
Summary: Pros:
- Nice easy intuitive menus. Love the ability to take a numeric option on the menus rather than having to scroll down through a bunch of options to select....Summary: Pros:
Gary, to download Audacity (the free version) go here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
- Nice easy intuitive menus. Love the ability to take a numeric option on the menus rather than having to scroll down through a bunch of options to select.
- Well-spaced keypad, with nice tactile button press.
- Nice feel in the hand
- Love the plum color.
- Was able to create and use my own ringtones after a short learning curve. What I didn?t realize at first is that you have to have a contact saved to phone memory in order to assign pictures and ringtones to contacts. Since everything transferred over from my old phone was NOT in phone memory, I had some frustration with this until I finally figured it out. Oh, and speaking of ringtones: You?re cool with files <= 300 kb. I had read some place about a 22khz sampling rate, but really that has nothing to do with it (not that I found). Just keep the file size down and you?re good to go. I downloaded Audacity free and used it to create ringtones. A bit of a learning curve there too, but once I figure out some basics I was on a roll. The nice thing about making your own is that you can carry them with you to other music phones as well. I have ported them over to my new Razr V3xx with no problem (other than figuring out the Razr?s way of doing things).
- The ability to view files on your microSD card as you have them there---standard file tree breakdown---was nice. I didn?t realize this was something specific to LG until I tried it on the Razr, whose menus are nowhere near as user-friendly.
Cons:
- Calls:
o This phone didn?t seem to hold a signal as well as my old Nokia bar phone. I decided to try a Razr V3xx as well and it got MUCH better signal strength in the same places I was experiencing drop-off with the LG.
o The people I called experienced fades and breaks (silences) which resulted in more repeating than I care to engage in. This was regardless of whether I was using the handset, the speaker, or a bluetooth device, and even after changing out the SIM card in the phone with a different one. I saw in the cnet editor?s review that they experienced the same thing, so I can surmise that this is a standing issue with the phone. They tested the black, I had the plum, so anyone who thinks it would be a color issue (lol) can rest assured it?s not.
o I also tested the sound of the call for myself with a friend who has an old Razr. He called me from the LG and I listened on the Razr. Ordinarily when he calls from the Razr I?m holding the phone away from my head because he?s so loud. But when he called me from the LG I could barely hear him, even when I jacked up the volume. He sounded faint, muffled almost. Although I could hear him, it just wasn?t a sharp clear sounding voice. I could only imagine what I sounded like to other people, since I tend to speak lower when on a cell phone. Since he?s also a very loud talker I found this tres strange. Add this test to what other people were telling me about the call quality on their end and I had to accept that this phone would not be a good one for me to subject listeners to. Note: I could hear other people just fine on the LG---they just couldn?t hear me well, and complained of the breaks and fading.
- Looks: Too shiny---every fingerprint showed up on the cover, resulting in much cleaning. I felt sure that scratches would become a problem given time.
- Charging/USB:
o The proprietary plug for charging and USB access was something I didn?t like. I prefer a standard or mini-usb plug like what comes with the Motorola so that I don?t have to have yet another usb cable floating around. I have a camera and an mp3 player that both use mini-usb---it would be nice if the phone could use the same.
o The charger plug was unnecessarily tight. Getting the charger in and out was difficult, and the phone slipped out of my hands on one occasion, resulting in a bounce check on an uncarpeted floor. I will say that this unintended test of the phone?s durability resulted in no damage to the phone, not even a scratch.
o In order to start the phone charging you had to plug the phone into the charger FIRST, then the charger into the wall. That could pose a problem for people who want to leave their charger plugged into a dedicated outlet that is behind a piece of furniture. I?ve never had this problem with any other electronic device, so it was very strange and worth mentioning.
o The battery icon was counter-intuitive. On the screen on the outside of the phone a full charge was indicated one way, but it was indicated in the exact opposite color scheme on the inside. I could never figure out exactly where my charge stood, especially once it was not longer completely full.
- Playing music on a bluetooth headset (non-stereo) did not function. I assumed I would need stereo headsets, and that maybe this was an issue with all music phones. However, I noted that when I played music with the Razr the music played on that same mono-bluetooth headset with no problems. Maybe it?s a limitation of the CU515 design, or maybe there was a setting I could change to correct this---although I searched diligently I could not find such a setting. I don?t know, because the manual didn?t address it, at least not directly (nowhere did it say you HAD to have a stereo headset to listen to music over bluetooth, but it may have been implied). Anyway, the fact that the Razr CAN play music on a mono headset tells me that LG should fix this problem or more clearly document how to get around it.
- Speaking of the documentation: The manual supplied with the phone didn?t have enough information in it, and some things you had to deduce from other statements. I wish I had a specific example, but I no longer have the manual. Most things I was able to figure out via trial and error, but it was time-consuming and better documentation would certainly benefit users.
Overall I liked the phone, but the call quality (or lack thereof) was a deal-breaker. After all, first and foremost this is a PHONE. Anything else is just icing to me. And since it?s the only phone I have (no landline), call quality is even MORE important for me. So, with much chagrin I traded it for the Motorola Razr V3xx, which has much better call quality and signal strength, and my voice on the other end has much more volume (although not obnoxiously so like the old razrs). However, I sure hated giving up the nice intuitive menus of the LG, and that easy-to-use keypad! The Motorola?s OS could really use a complete overhaul, and it?s keypad is still a bit too compact for non-dainty fingers.

Best phone ever!
by mocean11 on November 21, 2007
Pros: I love the internal screen! Adjusted the date and time to make them large. Great reception. I love the speakerphone button on the top and outside the phone. Easy to see and use contact list.
Cons: I wish the date was larger on both screens. The external screen could be brighter and larger. Can't use recordings for ring tones. Keep hitting the left side convenience key just touching the phone

Summary: I do love this phone. The internal screen resolution is awesome! For anyone who needs to enlarge the fonts to make them easier to see, this is the phone for you! The date on the internal screen could be larger, but the time is HUGE! External screen needs to be brighter and larger. Left side convenience key seems to be set to PTT and I can't change it. I hit that key everytime I touch the phone. Camera is excellent. Sound is awesome and the speakerphone sound quality and loudness is incredible.
Made my own menu of the features I use most often and assigned mute and regular volume options to the two keypad keys inside the phone at the top. I wish I could answer the phone via the speakerphone while driving because opening the phone with one hand isn't that easy. It snaps shut.
Overall, another awesome LG product. If you're buying a phone for an older person who can't hear and see as well as they used to, this is the phone for you! I bought this phone for my Mom. I have a Curve. As far as sound goes, this LG is as good as my Curve and the screen resolution is comparable as well.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Overall the phone works good. I use the push to talk feature a lot and enjoy it. The menu is easy to navigate through. The many options the phone offers are convenient. The ringtones installed leave a bit to be desired. I have had this phone replaced recently with another CU 515 due to the exposure to moisture from changes in the weather from warm to cold.

Improve battery life--disable 3G
by ventura_harvey on October 3, 2008
Pros: Lightweight, great basic phone, good display
Cons: requires LG adapter to use plug in headphones

Summary: This is my wife's phone. She just wants to use it as a basic phone and we had to get her a new one once we switched from Verizon to AT&T. She was quite unhappy with the battery life--only about 36 hrs of standby with at most 15-20 mins of talk.
We exchanged for new phones twice after discussing the situation with AT&T's tech support.
It was only after the 2nd exchange that the store salesman told me that all the new 3G phones have such poor battery life. His explanation was incorrect, but it got me to do a Google search. I learned that the 3G technology is more of a battery draw, and in many cases dramatically reduces standby and talk time. Since my wife only wants to use this phone as a basic phone and doesn't need the advantages of 3G (faster data speeds, internet, etc), we found that we want a 2G phone because of improved battery life. Another Google search, and I found the procedure:
LG cu515 3G/2G mode selection
type in 277634#*#
then go through the menu:
5. modem setting
2. network mode
1. network mode
2. 2g only
It's now been 48 hrs since we forced our cu515 to be a 2G only phone. My wife has already talked on the phone 60 mins, and standby time has already exceeded
36 hrs. The power indicator is still registering a fully charged battery. When we had the phone in the default mode (dual 2G and 3G), the battery would have entirely died by now. Downside for a 2G only phone: slightly worse phone quality, but we haven't noticed a difference yet. So if you just want a basic phone and can't stand having to charge your phone every night, I'd recommend you disable the 3G network as specified above.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

5-Stars because it WON'T OVER-CONNECT YOU LIKE THE BB!
by alpainter on November 20, 2008
Pros: Will simplify my life and won't keep me OVER-connected to the planet 24/7 at night/weekends, price, 3G is awesome too bad my Curve doesn't have it, design, love the buttons, works really well, NO PUSH EMAIL, call quality is pretty good
Cons: display is small

Summary: The BB Curve I have is great, I love it for a business tool and it allows me to run my business much better than before, and I get more work done. That unfortunately is also its biggest drawback as well. Being that connect ALL THE TIME was wearing me down, but not anymore!!
On the clock it is the Curve, off the clock my new little life simplifying CU515.
One of my friends has his Curve, and his "leave work at work" phone which seemed like a good idea. This phone has already reduced my stress levels be not keeping me connected to the rest of the planet 24 hours a day, and it is nice to be able to leave the office at the office. I do have my calls forwarded to the CU515, and access to email on my laptop. But I am no longer a slave to the devices "that help you get more work done."
This phone ISN'T supposed to be a multimedia device, it is supposed to take care of basic needs: calls, texting, occasional browsing. It does that very well, and if you are buying for anything other than that, you are getting the wrong phone.
Overall, I like it, recommend it, and am glad that I got it. TIME TO EXHALE, IT IS BEER:30 O'CLOCK!1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Don't waste your $

Summary: LG replaced my original phone with a refurbished cell that starting chipping after 4 months. After 6 months the display light went out. LG wanted $70 to repair a useless telephone. Because of the poor quality of the phone and what I consider poor customer service I will not purchase another LG phone. Read other reviews that had same complaints as mine.

Has lasted me a year with relatively minor problems.

Summary: I got this phone about a year ago as an upgrade from the LG CU405. After these two phones, I would definitely choose an LG again. For cellphones they can take quite a beating, though I'm not too abusive. This one was exposed to water twice. The first time it was just a little water, but I had to thoroughly dry the inside of its backside and its battery to get it to work again. The other day it slipped out of my pocket and was fully submerged in a puddle, but came out perfectly fine oddly enough. Lately it's been dropping calls and it won't receive any missed calls/messages until hours after they're sent, but I'm blaming that more on AT&T's poor service, considering my AT&T internet connection is just as unreliable.
I don't use many of the extra features, just downloaded a couple ringtones/games, listened to music (off of a memory card), recorded videos and took pictures. I don't like the camera at all, I have friends with much cheaper phones that have better quality. Texting with this phone takes longer than with other phones, and sometimes I'll accidentally send a text before finishing it because my finger slips since the forward and send buttons are so close together.
I have trouble hearing people sometimes, so I turn on the speakerphone, but then the person on the other line complains about how loud it is. There needs to be a happier medium, in other words. I accidentally turn speaker on a lot putting it down.
Other than that, it's a very good, practical phone. It's not for people who want a very pretty phone to show off because that reflective front will reveal every little smudge and scratch, but I really don't care. It's in basically the same condition as when it was brand new, has okay signal, and I can go 2-3 days without charging it.
I am, however, getting a new phone (for other reasons). I'm going to give this one to my boyfriend; he got his Nokia 2760 around the same time I did, and it is now literally in pieces. We'll see how my LG fares... -
