The U8500 3G handset supports video calls. This feature enables you to not only hear the person over the phone, but also see them talking to you on your mobile phone screen. The external memory slot allows for a microSD memory card to be used to provide added storage for your music downloads, videos and images.

The handset is a clamshell, it has volume keys and the headset connection on the left side, and the microSD, a “shortcut” button (opens a toolbar in the screen with shortcut icons to 8 functions) and the usb/charger jack on the right side. In the interrior view of the clamshell you will find all the normal buttons you would expect to, plus shortcut buttons for the Calendar, Music Player and Camera. On the back of the phone, under the rotating camera, there is a small hole for the wrist wrap and a battery-release button. Under the external screen you will find 3 buttons that don’t do anything under normal operation, but when your music player is ON they function as ‘previous song’ on normal press and rewind on long press, play/stop and fast forward/next song.

The LG-U8500/U880 is a super-slim 3G music phone which have already received excellent reviews from the global media. The handset was recognized as ‘The Best in Test’ by leading Swedish handset magazine ‘Mobile’. And the South China Morning Post, a prestigious pan-Asian daily based in Hong Kong, introduced the LG U8500/U880 as a visible improvement on 3G phones in terms of size. The model, which was released last November, is about to record LG’s fourth million-seller hit and the newly-released Cavalli edition is expected to accelerate sales.
