Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD provides a high contrast backlit display for easy readability in all light
conditions. The large bit-mapped 128 x 100 white holographic display includes up
to 6 lines of text.
Display animation makes the phone's menus move smoothly as the user scrolls up
and down. Turn animation off to conserve the battery.
Whether a phone displays all indicators depends on the programming and services
to which the user subscribes.
Figure 2 shows some common icons displayed on the LCD.
