Design and innovation unite Motorola's announcements at 3GSM World Congress; showcasing compelling mobile experiences

3GSM World Congress 2007, 20 Feb 2007

Motorola, a global leader in wireless communications, has delivered compelling mobile experiences with a portfolio of devices and solutions that demonstrate the company's leadership in design, music, media, high-speed performance, wireless broadband and connecting the unconnected.

"What better place than 3GSM World Congress to show how Motorola's latest products and services are making seamless mobility real for customers around the world? This year's portfolio from Motorola combines uncompromised design quality with the richest mobile experiences, to meet the increasing diversity of today's consumer," said Motorola Product Operations Director, Brian Burns.

"We're excited to demonstrate our wickedly cool and compelling products that are making anytime, anywhere and always-on entertainment and communication a personal reality for everyone, as well as the solutions and services that help our operator customers deliver them to their consumers."

Goodbye low bandwidth; hello high-speed, hi-def

Motorola has further defined its "no compromise" commitment to quality high-speed performance with a series of new HSDPA-enabled handsets.

Motorola has once again produced an industry first with MOTORIZR Z8 hi-def, the world's first handset with a high-definition display. The MOTORIZR Z8 provides instant downloads of streamed media via ultra-fast HSDPA technology.

With a multimedia feature-set that includes a brilliant 16 million colour 35x50mm QVGA full-screen display, MOTORIZR Z8 hi-def boasts video playback speeds of up to 30 frames per second.

In another industry first, Motorola has partnered with Universal Pictures to illustrate the powerful multimedia performance of the MOTORIZR Z8 hi-def by preloading the feature film "The Bourne Identity" onto a microSD card, which will ship with the MOTORIZR Z8 hi-def to all launch markets.

The unprecedented entertainment experience continues via a partnership with Sky TV allowing users to access Sky streaming-TV services as well as use their mobile phone as a remote control for their Sky+ box.

MOTORIZR Z8 hi-def features Motorola's first ever "kick slider", a graceful mechanism that achieves a "fit-to-face" profile by gliding open in a curve to match the contour of your face.

The new MOTOKRZR K3 is where Motorola style meets performance. The handset features the beautiful MOTOKRZR design language, while providing a full multimedia experience through HSDPA connectivity. The MOTOKRZR K3 is a cool wireless high-speed multimedia handset, incorporating no-compromise use of colour, materials and finishes.

Using MOTOKRZR K3, users will be able to enjoy quick access to YouTube content on the move by providing a quick one-click access to YouTube content.

Goodbye walls; hello high performance mobile office

For users demanding high performance mobile office tools, Motorola announces the Q family of devices, which builds on the success of the MOTO Q handset and now delivers a stylish Windows Mobile Smartphone for everyone, optimised for 3G, GSM or CDMA.

Motorola's ultra-thin, lightweight MOTOQ q9 completes the HSDPA portfolio by expanding the Q family of devices and providing power-users with style conscious productivity and lightning fast browsing, viewing and downloading via high-speed HSDPA connectivity.

Operating on the next generation Windows Mobile platform and with Motorola's Good Mobile Messaging technology, Motorola's second ever handset built on the SCPL platform provides easy and intuitive e-mail wherever you are, as well as high speed downloads over the air with "plays for sure" DRM, from over 200 music stores worldwide.

MOTOQ q9's dual character keyboard and five-way navigation key provides a user-experience without compromise and offers the fastest method of data entry available, via its ergonomic design. With a screen design-optimised in size to produce the best visual experience and the world's smartest screen display technology, which adjusts the screen's brightness automatically, MOTOQ q9 offers pure performance through design.

In addition to the launch of MOTOQ q9, Motorola has taken its innovation across borders with MOTOQ gsm and now offers everyone the world's most desired QWERTY regardless of network, geography or what features and functions you need most.

Goodbye isolation; hello connectivity

Motorola was connecting the unconnected even before we were awarded the GSM Association's (GSMA) Emerging Market Handset programmes in 2005 and 2006.

Together with the GSMA and MTC Namibia, we're announcing at 3GSM the first trial for wind and solar power systems, to support the African operator's remote GSM cell sites.

Such systems provide an alternative to the main-grid electricity supply or diesel driven generators in remote areas. The cell site will remain a part of MTC Namibia's current wireless network and continue to carry the same levels of traffic.

Xhead - Goodbye low tier; hello Motomobile experience

Motorola's mass market success is set to continue with the introduction of an expanded Motomobile portfolio. The new portfolio brings enhanced features and a rich mobile experience to the next billion mobile users with all the style and innovation of Motorola's higher-end devices.

The new Motomobile portfolio now includes features such as megapixel camera, speakerphone, MP3 playback and video functionality, as well as Motorola's CrystalTalk technology, making it easier to hold conversations in noisy environments.

The Motomobile line-up includes Motorola's W510, offering the best in design and value with uncompromised functionality. This stylish clamshell features sleek MOTOKRZR-inspired design and boasts a vibrant 262k colour TFT screen.

Motorola also announced MOTOSLVR L9, merging powerful multimedia features with Motorola's sleek MOTOSLVR form factor. MOTOSLVR L9 provides a rich visual entertainment experience via its 2.0 megapixel camera and full screen landscape playback, as well as an integrated FM radio with a dedicated key.

Goodbye boredom, hello Motomusic for the masses

Motorola's music heritage continues to bring a rich mobile music experience to consumers. As part of the Motomobile portfolio, Motorola has announced MOTORIZR Z6, a multimedia masterpiece with the latest music features and a powerful digital imaging platform.

MOTORIZR Z6 is Motorola's first Linux-Java software-based handset that incorporates Windows Media Technologies, allowing users to download to their PC and sync music to their phone from over 200 music stores worldwide.

The handset's dedicated music key, enhanced audio capabilities and integrated music player, with support for multiple music formats, provides a compelling music experience.

Cutting-edge Bluetooth accessories for wireless music streaming round out the music experience and include the new Motorola Bluetooth stereo active headphones S9, which delivers a true hands-free music experience for consumers.

Motorola has also announced key partnerships; including Warner Music Group, which will create compelling mobile scenarios on mobile devices with products such as MOTO EP, a single download that contains a series of music-based products that provide a rich multimedia experience.

Goodbye street search; hello mobile navigation

Motorola has taken Bluetooth on the road with its new phone-based navigation system T805 and T815 featuring Motonav. Motonav adds turn-by-turn GPS navigation to compatible Bluetooth handsets, providing exact locations, on-screen maps and turn-by-turn spoken and visual directions.

The compact T805 and T815 GPS receivers fit easily in the user's pocket and come complete with a car charger, phone holder and flexible mounting options. The T805 comes with a 12-month Motonav national subscription, while the T815 includes Motonav loaded on a memory card.

Goodbye confusion; hello seamless standards

The International Telecommunication Union, the world's leading standards development organisation for next-generation networks, has adopted the Converged Services Framework (CSF), co-edited by Motorola and Korea Telecom.

CSF will be an open development platform to coordinate application, service, mobility and user preferences across different networks, extending convergence beyond today's standards. Deployable as its own convergence solution, or as an extension to existing solutions such as IMS, CSF leverages operators' existing investments by providing a flexible, cost-effective service coordination layer between communication infrastructures.
