This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.)

You get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the go, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. And it has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.

Note that if you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, be sure to select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout. If you do not sign up for a MEdia Max service plan option, you will be paying per KB when you use the over-the-air UMTS audio and video features on your phone (upwards of $10 per minute).

What Customers Say About LG Vu CU920 Phone (AT&T):

It's good for talking and texting. Since I was very pleased with the Shine, I decided to stick with LG and go for the Vu. It didn't break my heart because I really wanted a phone with a qwerty keyboard for texting, and I was eligible for upgrade. Can't quite understand that. Ringtones that I was able to use before on the Shine, are too large to be used as ringtones on the Vu. It just seems that instead of improving on what they already had right, LG took a step back with the "features" on this phone.

I have adjusted settings, nothing seems to help. Everything is blurry, unless you are able to be perfectly still and in perfect lighting. If someone can offer tips, it would be appreciated. The Shine had an excellent camera, that even had flash. I previously had the LG Shine, I really liked the phone but my 2 yr old broke it. Battery life is a little less than the shine, but the screen is bigger, brighter and the keyboard vibrates I would assume that would take more energy. I am also very disapointed with the ringtone capability on this phone.

Why would LG do this. Overall, it's a phone. The touch screen works fine and reception is good. I am VERY displeased with the camera on this phone. If you aren't interested in the camera or having a wide variety of ringtones.

Having a toddler, I love this feature, it assures I don't miss any special moments just because I don't have my camera with me. Which are the most important things in a phone. this is a really good phone. This will probably be my last LG phone.

Music is of worst quality, one can only use LG headset since it has proprietary port and the music quality is very bad and sound is way too low.No Wifi is also a big time disappointment, one has to depend on ATT Medianet to use internet on the phone, plus no GPS also dampens the use of this phone.I paid 179.99 before 50$ rebate with contract extension and I feel totally disappointed, ebay-ed this phone for 160$ and bought a new Nokia N85 which is 1000 times better than this touchscreen phone. If one is using headsets to watch ATT TV then one can't charge the phone.

Initially I liked this phone very much since it had ATT live TV but that's the only selling point of this phone. I had this phone since Sept'08 to March'09.

ATT TV finishes battery so fast that one can't imagine. The touchscreen is resistive and most of the time one has to tap more than one time to use the feature and being resistive screen, it has overall dark contrast.

Coming to battery life, it is very very bad.I mean very very bad. Since both charger and headset uses proprietary port of LG.

Positive reviews you might have already read it and if you have never experienced touchscreen before, you might like it too but my suggestion is to go to a store and try it and try other touchscreen phones too before ordering it online.

The touchscreen has vibration feedback which I love and the calibration is flawless. I purchased the LG Vu last week and received it a day later--but I only paid for two-day shipping, not one day, so that was pretty sweet. The phone itself is pretty to look at and, while light, doesn't feel like a toy. My only problem with the phone is when I'm scrolling through my contact list the scroll function gets overzealous, often shooting me far past my desired selection. Other than that, the touch screen is near perfect, the camera functionality is great (even without the flash), and the audio clarity is amazing with either a Bluetooth headset or just the phone.

i was supposed to have a phone interview, and when the interviewer called, went directly to voice mail, guy was cool about it and left me a voice mail with his number so i can call them back. 1. BTW, i made sure i had 5 bars with ATT so it DEF. batt sucks, i need to charge it EVERYDAY, and i only make less than 20 min phone call, and check my hotmail maybe 3 times.2. dropped call. problem with this phone.3. stupid lock screen when talking, stupid menu you can't change shortcuts.go for the samsung instead, they both free from ATT any way.

The Samsungs I've heard are better but are quite a bit more pricey too. decent autofocus 2 MP camera with video capability7. speaker phone feature5. up 30 memo capacity for personal notes13. good music player and comes with headphones that can be used for talking and music6.

choice of either full QWERTY keyboard or T9 when texting or entering memos14. in daylight it's a little hard to see the display but you get used to it4. haven't figured out a way to get eBooks on it or the eReader software, it doesn't seem to be able to do that, I liked that about the Treo5. lightweight and thin3.

easy to use interface and easy to learn navigation2. The price and the touchscreen appealed to me. Contact list doesn't have an address section but there is a "note:" section for each contact and i've been using this as an address keeper2. I was using a Palm Treo 680 prior to the Vu. multiple daily, weekly, or one time alarm (ie: for getting up in the morning)12. good sound4.

I do miss some of the features that a PDA offers but this comes close. TV if you're interested in that9. I just bought the Vu a couple weeks ago and have had time to get acquainted with it. has a web browser (I haven't used it because I don't have a data plan)15. can download various tools (including maps and pandora)NOT SO GOOD:1.

can't customize menus like with a PDA3.

Customizable background wallpaper and themes10.

Tips: if you do get this phone, I would do two things:1.

GOOD:1.

get a screen cover, generics are very cheap2.

up to 4 GB microSD card can be used (doesn't come with phone)8.

full feature calendar with alarms11.

all games that come with the phone are trial version, not full versions (I think that's standard now)Summary:I am pleased with this phone because it's slime, light, easy to use, and has a lot of good features.

get a skin, also generics are very cheap
