Some people have apparently already gotten their hands on this phone, and it's supposed to be available to the general public by Saturday. I can't say I'm too happy with its clutzy hardware interface, but it'll be one of the few HSDPA phone available in the U.S. I hope it syncs with Macs.

On July 13, f1000 expressed hope that the LG CU500 would lend itself to syncing with iSync. The iSync site does not list it among its compatibles, but where there's a will there's a way. Any word on that?
