Well I got it yesterday along with a 4GB PQI MicroSD Card, and a headphone jack adapter.
I used to have the CU500 and it was pretty solid until I busted the charging slot
Its very thin at 0.7" but the adapter slot protrudes from the left side about three quarters of an inch and is pretty clunky. It's not a very smooth music player. You have to hold the volume up/down for 2 seconds to activate the "touch strip." That's the only way to skip through songs and it is a bit of an annoyance. With the CU500, you would be on your next song within a split second with the touch of a button.
Also, with 3GB's of songs, the music library is kind of slow. There is about 1-2 seconds lag before the next song starts when you skip ahead. Also when accessing the memory card it can be a little slow as well. It's not a great music player but its going to work for me.
The only bluetooth I've done is connect to my PC and transfer wallpapers and so far that's been pretty smooth. Overall its a slick phone. I like the keypad but I can imagine there being some confusion with it, and I've accidently pressed the wrong button a few times already.
Overall, a solid phone and a decent music player.

ok. i dont personally have this phone but there are 2 in my family that do. let me sust say that the phones that they have before are in no way superior to this phone.this phone has 2 GORGEOUS lcd displays, an AWESOME 1.3 megapixel camera, AMAZING call quality, and well just about anything else you could imagine that i could put a big emphasis word on. the screens are probably the best part of the phone. theyre huge for a flip phone, bright and colorfull too. you can ALWAYS see whats going on while youre on your phone. the mp3 buttons on the front are a huge plus too. i love that you can control the mp3 player with the phone closed! i just can't get over the fact that lg has pumped out an awesome phone! good for you lg.
