Today LG 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.

"At Cingular, we pride ourselves on offering a handset portfolio that is as extensive and diverse as the communications needs of our customers," said David Christopher, Vice President, Product Management, Cingular Wireless. "The C2000 and C1500 offer solid feature sets at key price points all in slim, stylish packages."

The C2000 handset is a camera phone that will grab people's attention and not let go. In addition to rich 640x480 snapshots from the integrated VGA camera, users can experience the convenience of voice-activated dialing, the quality of 64-chord polyphonic ringtones and the option of using Music Tones as ringers. With 16MB of memory and Cingular's My Media folder to access and store downloaded games, ringtones and graphics, users can save the fun content they find and buy on the Cingular network and access it over and over again, whenever they want to play a game or change a ringtone.

The C2000 features:
