CES 2004

Intro Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Comments 46

LG didn't make any major new phone announcements at CES, but they did show a couple new CDMA phones in their booth.

The first is the VX-4500. It's an upgrade to the extremely popular VX-4400. Improvements include a larger display, speaker-independent voice dialing, speakerphone, and a larger phone book. It's also slightly smaller and lighter. The VX-4500 has been approved by Verizon and should ship later this month.

The second new phone shown was the Sprint VI5225, the first internal-antenna clamshell CDMA phone for North America since the Qualcomm Q phone.

The VI5225 is a mid-range model for Sprint. It has full PCS Vision functionality (including WAP 2.0 and Java) and dual displays, plus true 2-way SMS. Other specs are fairly basic, including the 4,096-color STN main display, which might seem dated, but should provide better battery life compared to higher-end displays.
