Sumario:This paper deals with the present status of the LHCb detector, with special emphasis on the commissioning tests and analysis. The detector response has been widely tested by means of cosmic particle events and with the very first beam before the LHC rupture in September 2008. Some of the results of these studies are reported. Finally, plans on the use of the first beam data, expected in 2009, are shortly presented.
