The LG CU575, also known as the Trax, is a 3G GSM/UMTS mobile phone carried by AT&T Mobility. It is designed to run on AT&T's UMTS frequencies of 850 and 1900 MHz. The phone features a slim design similar to the Motorola RAZR series, and also features external music controls and a microSD memory card slot supporting cards up to 4 GB. The phone is a replacement for the LG CU500.
Launch The LG CU575 was supposed to be released on June 17, 2007, but was delayed due to a software issue preventing some DRM enabled songs to be played. It was displayed at a holiday showcase two days later. The phone was eventually released on August 14, 2007 once the issues had been resolved. On launch it costed $130 after a mail-in rebate and signing a two-year contract.
Features The phone was designed as a multimedia and music phone and is compatible with AT&T's eMusic service, Napster, MobiTV, and XM Radio. It came with a music recognition application and allowed for playlists to be made on the phone itself.
Reception CNET gave the LG Trax a 7.0 out of 10, with points given to the lightweight design and wide variety of features, but criticizing the small keypad and music control touch pad.
