I'm Nicole Lee, Senior Associate Editor for cnet.com and this is a first look at the LG Attune for U.S. Cellular. It is essentially U.S. Cellular's version of the LG Cosmos Touch. It's a very similar front factor. On the front here as you can see is a very nice and compact shape. On the front here is a 2.8-inch touch screen display. You can customize the home screens with a variety of shortcuts, your favorite contacts, as well as a list of recent messages. On the back here is a very basic 1.3-megapixel camera. The phone opens slide ways to display a full QWERTY keyboard. Even though the keyboard looks a little bit small because of the phones size, but we found it quite roomy. We like the dedicated navigation keys on the side here and the overall keys are raised above the surface for easy texting and dialling. Features of the phone are fairly basic. You do get the 1.3-megapixel camera like we said. You also get a rudimentary browser and a music player. There's Bluetooth on here as well. The LG Attune is available for only $49.99 with the new two-year service agreement with U.S. Cellular. I am Nicole Lee and this has been a first look at the LG Attune.
