Used simply as a phone, the 525's flip-open design closes to show a color exterior screen as well (4096 color, 100 x 80 pixel), enabling users to see their caller ID pictures in color.

The phone's organizer features-- basically a calendar and to-do list--can sync with your PC via the 525's wireless infrared modem.
