Design and Build
The CU500 sports a clamshell design that was quite popular in the mid-2000s. Its dimensions of 96.5 x 49.5 x 19.3 mm and weight of 105 grams make it lightweight and pocket-friendly, perfect for users who appreciate portability. The external aesthetics include a second TFT display with 65K colors, capable of delivering vibrant notification checks or displaying the time with its 96 x 96 pixel resolution. The main internal display features a 176 x 220 pixel resolution, which, though modest by today's standards, provided a satisfactory viewing experience for basic media consumption and navigation.
