Detailed review
The LG CU515 is a basic cell phone that should suffice for those not interested in browsing the web or using advance multimedia on their phone. Physically the phone is a good size, feels well built and has a good battery life (generally works for a few days, unless an excessive number of calls are made). In addition, service is good (in comparison to other phones on AT&T). The phone works well, with easy to use menus that are mostly self-explanatory. BlueTooth works well to connect to both a headset and to push files to/from a computer, but does drain the battery quite a bit, when in use.

Two complaints, however, deal with button placement. There is an external "Push-To-Talk" (which can only be disabled when the phone is closed). This button should be able to be disabled always, especially since it costs extra money. The center menu button also launches the web browser, but this is a minor issue.
