You can also personalize the phone with customizable wallpaper on the internal display, a backlight timer, and contrast/brightness controls. Java (J2ME) games included with the phone are Tetris and Downtown Texas Hold 'Em. Cingular's Media Mall offers ring tones for purchase, as well as additional graphics, games, and applications.
We tested the triband GSM (850/1800/1900; GPRS) LG C1500 in the San Francisco area using Cingular's network. Calls sounded great despite a little fuzz, and even though callers could tell we were on a cell phone, it wasn't too bad. Accessing Cingular's Media Net service, however, was a pain. On the 2.5G GPRS network, the WAP 2.0 browser was slow and clunky, and it took forever to shop for new ring tones and applications.
The LG C1500 has a rated talk time of 2.5 hours, compared with our tested talk time of 3 hours. The rated standby time is up to 9 days. According to FCC radiation tests, the LG C1500 has a digital SAR rating of 1.34W/kg.
