The external screen can also be set to flash a different color for events such as incoming calls, a new voice mail message, text message or missed call.

The VX4500 gives consumers a sleek new twist on LG's trademark clamshell design and an extensive selection of must-have features they have come to expect from LG. The VX4500 functions as a personal organizer with a phone book that stores up to 499 names with five numbers and three email address per contact, a calendar with scheduler, built-in alarm clock, CMX MIDI sound, 36 standard ring tones and speed dialing.
