The portal offers polyphonic tones adopted from the hottest hits in the nation and animation wallpaper fitting the size of the mobile phone LCD. Likewise, it can edit photo images of PC and a digital camera and use them as wallpaper. The portal also allows customers to play fun & exciting European Games, enjoy 3D images, and download manuals & software.

By offering customer benefit programs via wire and wireless linkage services, "WOW LG" is expected to trigger a highly favorable response from European customers.

"The launching of 'WOW LG' in Europe is only the beginning. Aside from Europe, we will gradually launch a global service portal site for both GSM and CDMA standards," said Jae Hoon Bae, Executive Vice President for Overseas Marketing Division of Telecommunication Equipment & Handset company of LGE.

Alongside the holding of a ceremony for launching the "WOW LG" portal site, LGE will install a zone for ring tone/graphics, photo, video, and games in CeBIT 2004 fair in Hanover, Germany on March 18-24. This "WOW LG" booth will allow European customers to have a hands-on experience. The company will give away gifts to participants during the event.

The WOW LG portal differentiates LGE from competitors, seeking to foster pride among LG mobile phone purchasers in using LG products and make them loyal LG customers," said Mun Hwa Park, President of Telecommunication Equipment & Handset company of LGE.
