D807 vs. LG CU500

Posted by: Khadgar346

These are the two phone options I'm looking at, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in my shoes too...

It's time for me to upgrade my phone and I'm stuck between the two.

I like the LG because...
-razor like flip phone
-mp3 player

However, I don't plan on using the internet or having the unlimited data plan so is the phone still worth it? I also don't like how it has an increase volume ringer.

I like the D807 because...
-it's different
-mp3 player

The downside to this phone is that the screen stays lite when charging. Little more expensive than the LG, about $50 more, and the reports about the low volume.

What phone would you recommend. Has anyone here owned both and could compare and contrast the two?

Anyfeedback would be great.

everyone i've asked says the cu500. i would have gone with the d807 if they had it in stock but i heard about signal/volume issues. i liked it because it looked cool and the screen had 250k colors or something like that compared to 60 something for the cu500.

I have said this is just about every thread that discusses this exact topic, and though I know some Samsung fanboy will contradict what I say, I'll say it again, I had 5 D807s (family plan) and returned them all, due to low earpiece volume and poor reception.

LG definately. The cu500 kicks ***!!! I'm a major Motorola fanboy, but the cu500 puts my V3i to shame.

If only it were metal.

I posted an initial impressions comparison in your other thread, khadgar346.

Personally, I'm torn. I'm not sure I could pick one over the other.

Perhaps it's only me, but I find the performance of the 3G network somewhat frustrating at this point. I've had a couple instances with my LG where I sent out MMS and they never arrived. But, when I got home (into a strong EDGE signal) the pics went through in a snap. Grrr!

If you take that out of the picture, then, I'm back to not being able to say at this point. I will have a better feel in a few days.

LG is the best mobile phone manufacture there is, BY FAR!!

They beat out MotoSungIaSson by miles!!!

The Cu500 is just an excellent phone in every way. Sexy design, not to thin (Samsung are loosers for making such thin phones!!), great screen wayyy better than RAZR, and rotating camera!! That's innovation for ya'!
