LG CU500 approved by FCC

When Cingular announced its brand-new 3G service early last month, it hinted at the release of the LG CU500, one of the first few cell phones to support its high-speed UMTS network. The FCC approved it a couple days ago, and so far, we know it's a quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) and triband UMTS/WCDMA (850/1900/2100) phone. From the photos on , it looks like the LG CU500 is a slim clamshell design. We look forward to the phone's launch and hope to have a review of it soon.
