The LG CU500 is currently in a softlaunch from Cingular (it was approved in April, but hasn't been shown off until now). It's the first of two HSDPA equipped handsets that Cingular plans on launching. The HSDPA 3G standard is comparable in speed to EV-DO and is up to 5x faster than UMTS, which is used by Cingular's original 3G handsets. User reports from HowardForums show that the CU500 is available now in select markets and will likely see a wider release (such as online sales) as soon as tomorrow.
Features of the LG CU500 include:
Cingular is selling the CU500 for $149.99 after rebate and a 2-year service agreement. The second HSDPA equipped handset, Samsung's ZX-20, is expected to launch soon. Two more photos of the handset are available below.

Still no Sync Software? What is LG thinking. It stores upto 500 contacts, but there is no way to syncronize with the computer. What do they think? That we want to enter every contact one at a time???

Anyone know if the software for the pc link came out yet? Can you link to internet through laptop with this phone at no additional fee?

So far so good/great! It has everything, with the capabilities of far more. I gave up my moto razr V3 with no regrets.
However, I sincerely hope the software will be swiftly forth-coming in order to sync with my pc. Someone wake up and get on it! This phone is definitely go to the top of the heap in sales!
