LGE ships Internet smart phones to Sprint PCS

LG Electronics (LGE) is supplying Internet smart phones and dual-folder mobile
Internet PCS phones to Sprint PCS, a major U.S. wireless operator.

The company announced yesterday that it has shipped 30,000 mobile Internet
phones, worth $25 million. LGE was contracted by Sprint PCS last March to
supply 16,000 CDMA handsets, worth some $300 million, over the next three
years.

The LGI-3000W model used in the 1.9GHz frequency band supports voice
calls as well as Internet search, e-mail and data services using the WAP (wireless
application protocol) browser. The flip-up type Internet smart phone features a
large 12-line touch screen, speakerphone, voice dialing and PIM (personal
information management) functions.

The mobile Internet PCS handset SP-510 is a dual-folder handset that allows
210 hour standby and 240 minute talk-time using a large battery.

"We plan to supply dual-band PCS phones that can be used in both analog and
PCS networks to Sprint PCS early next year," said Kang Seung-koo, LGE official
in charge of North American market. The company is aiming to eventually take 25
percent of the U.S. CDMA handset market, he added.
