Today LG together with Cingular Wireless introduced the CE500, a sophisticated clamshell phone featuring a built in MP3 player and the flexibility and convenience of a TransFlash memory port.

The CE500 creates an all-in-one music experience for users looking to keep in touch while rockin' out to their favorite MP3s songs. The TransFlash card allows users to store up to 64 MB of their favorite music and listen to the crisp, graphic equalizer quality sound provided by the robust dual stereo speakers. Player skins give Cingular Wireless users a chance to show off their style and individuality when they're on the go, or jamming to MP3s with friends.

Packing a variety of advanced features into its smooth black and silver case, the CE500 represents the ultimate combination of style and entertainment. The built-in VGA camera/camcorder with flash, tri-band capabilities and external memory port for music storage and multimedia messaging services, give you everything you need to catalog and share your experiences traveling around the world and back again. 

Operating on the high-speed advanced EDGE network, the CE500 allows users to access express Internet services at the touch of a button. Faster downloads and a variety of online features including a POP3 e-mail client, instant messenger from AOL(R), Yahoo!(R), and ICQ(R) and multimedia messaging services (MMS) make the CE500 the ultimate way to stay connected wherever you are.
