Likes: -very easy to text with, decent camera + Video, expandable memory -bluetooth capable w/FTP -able to read texts w/o opening phone -Camera works when closed. -No longer a separate file for bluetooth files dislikes: -front screen is flush, making it easy to crack (solution: put on a faceplate) -the charger/headphones jack are special. -the speaker isn't very loud -Music player doesn't like to title the songs properly. I decided to buy this phone because my old LG cu500 was very slowly dieing on me (battery failure, cracked screen etc.) I started searching Ebay for sim-card capable phones, and i came upon the LG Cu575. which is an upgraded version of the upgraded version of my current phone (Lg cu500), AND it was cheaper or the same price everywhere i could find. This phone is defiantly a good upgrade and well worth the money. it has a metal casing around it for durability, and a re-enforced hinge that is resistant to breaking.Read full review
this is a great little phone. feature rich with 3g, video streaming and music player. its kinda old and kinda ugly to look at but the inside is like warn apple pie. excellent voice quality and extremely fast data. large keys and large font for easy visibility and use two screens to display info and external camera and mp3 player controls. but its not all tea and crumpets, there are some things I didn't like: the speakerphone speaker is week, there is a size limit for the alert tomes/video, its ugly on the outside,and ALL FLIP PHONES TEND TO BREAK IN HALF via "OVERFLIP" bottom line, THE BEST PHONE YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER $40. HANDS DOWN. I have owned 2 of these and gifted one to my aging grand mother and my twelve year old niece wants one now, very cool phone, great for all ages. pick out a cool case for about $5 and you are good to go.Read full review
The LG CU575 has a sleek look that isn't overwhelming, but nice to look at. The screen is large for a non touch screen flip phone and the display is amazing. Very clear and bright which it has to be to support the TV application where you can watch almost anything. This phone is made for music with XM Satellite Radio built in, along with AT&T Music and the equilavent program to Shazaam of the iPhone that recognizes music. It also supports a 4GB media card. I have gotten great service so far with at least 5 bars everywhere(I do live in the city). If you are on a budget but still want a phone that has all the features of the higher priced ones, go with the LG Trax CU575.
I really do like this phone; it takes great pictures, has a big screen, easy to text, and is easy to use! The only thing I do not like is the volume for the ringtones, it doesn't matter if I download my own ringtone or use one already programmed it is too low to hear. Once in a while it will ask me to insert smart chip.... not sure why!
I first bought the LG CU500. I liked it, still do. In fact, I like it so much, I bought more for my family. The only hitch for us is that the CU500 is a bit finicky on which microSD chips it uses and we are running 512 chips for mp3 and photos. Kind'a small for our tastes. So now I decided to go to the CU575 trax. Same basic phone, just packaged a bit different. There is now more memory available (holds a 2GB microSD). The camera is now a fixed unit vs the swivel unit of the CU500. No biggie, unless you like taking pics of yourself, all the time. I figure it is a question of taste, myself. Other changes are the look and feel of the unit. It is more business/industrial and my wife likes the 500 better. For me, it is a toss-up. Sound from either the speakers or the headphones is great, although, I must admit, that the single speaker cannot hold a candle to the true stereo of the CU500. I don't use the internet features, so no comment there, but it is still a 3G phone, and based on the other features that I DO use, I am sure that no one would be disappointed with it. Games is another matter! Pre-loaded with trial versions of a very short time limit-WHAT GARBAGE!!! Good thing the internet has loads of JAVA-based game that can be downloaded for free and you can get rid of the try-and-buy stuff with some simple erradication software also available for free. All in all, aside from the game gripe, there is only praise for these units. Buy used and save BIG!! Update: I really HATE the pressure stip that must be activated to control the phone when closed! The CU500 had buttons that could activate in your pocket, but thaqt is not a problem in a case. This phone makes you puch and hold the side buttons to activate the lid control strip. On the plus side, you can access incoming text messages through the exterior screen. I don't, though because it makes you active and then de-activate the control strip. All in all, it seems a bit two steps forward, one step back in this phone's design.Read full review
