Product Description

Weighing less than 80 grams, the LG Flare LX165 packs many features into a simple clamshell package. The LX165 supports Bluetooth, A-GPS, ringer and picture ID, custom graphics and ringtones, voice dialing, Web browsing, Java, text messaging, flight mode, and downloadable games. The handset integrates two color displays: an external STN-LCD (65,536 colors) and the main TFT-LCD display (262,144 colors). The LX165 supports both English and Spanish and includes a suite of PIM (personal information management) tools, including alarm, to-do list, voice memo recorder, calendar, world clock, and calculator. The LX165 has a reported talk time of 3.5 hours and standby time of 170 hours. Costing only $29.99 with a two-year contract through Sprint or Virgin Mobile, the LX165 uses some time-tested ICs (see pages 17–18) to bring features usually found only in mid-level handsets to a more price-sensitive customer base. *Though LG specifies that the LX165 is PCS (1900MHz) only, the internal chip set (PAs, duplexers, etc.) supports dual-band operation.
