Well, the service will still cost you whatever it costs you, but you can get your hands on the HSDPA-capable LG CU500 clamshell for absolutely zero dollars. You won’t be getting this kind of offer direct from the orange splat of a service provider, though.

Apparently, when you sign a new Cingular Wireless contract, you can score the 3G-ready CU500 flip phone flip phone for free from Wirefly. I’d say free is a pretty good price, though I’m not a fan of lengthy agreements.

Outside of high-speed HSDPA, the LG CU500 has also got Bluetooth, 3D stereo sound, integrated media player, external music controls, dual color displays, Cingular Video, MobiTV, and a 1.3MP rotating camera.
