Today LG Electronics MobileComm and Cingular Wireless launched two new handsets, the C2000 low cost clamshell camera phone and the lightweight, great value C1500 clamshell phone. Both of these new GSM phones come with a long list of robust mobile handset capabilities and support Cingular's latest and greatest multimedia services, including Instant Messaging and Music Tones providing a complete mobile experience.

"Handsets like the C2000 and C1500 represent the core of LG's promise to the consumer," said Jon Maron, director of marketing for LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A. "These handsets incorporate the latest advances in design and technology from LG and offer robust and feature-rich mobile phones across a spectrum of price points, so consumers always have a choice when they select an LG phone."

Users can experience an extra bit of color from incoming calls on the C1500. Besides a color filter external display with caller ID and rich 64-chord polyphonic sound, users can customize their phone with the latest Music Tones on the C1500. An easy-to-access speakerphone keeps calls sounding clear, while IM capability also lets users stay in touch. Weighing in at only three ounces, the C1500 also incorporates:

• Advanced features such as an internal 65K color LCD screen
• Multimedia messaging capabilities and 16 megabytes of flash memory for storing downloaded content.

The C1500 are available for $29.99, after a $30 mail-in rebate and with a two-year service agreement.
