Motorola M900 Launched by ATandT for Homeland Security

ATandT today announced the availability of the Motorola M900, a mobile voice solution that enables in-vehicle communications ideal for the needs of homeland security and emergency management professionals.
The M900 is easily installed into service vehicles used by the military, federal, state and local government and emergency management agencies. The unit's physical design, technology and specially designed vehicle interfaces are dedicated to delivering communication so that homeland security and emergency management professionals can stay connected when carrying out mission-critical tasks.
Motorola's M900 delivers extended network coverage over standard portable cell phones through a 2-watt radio frequency (RF) amplification for enhanced connections in urban and remote locations. The unit also delivers hands-free audio quality for clear and sharp pickup, background-noise suppression and echo cancellation.
Additional features include the high-resolution graphic display with full-size characters and adjustable blue backlight contrast setting for easy reading, large, well-spaced tactile keys for dialing accuracy and speed and an advanced voice-activation button to activate phone functions, such as name- and number-dialing, through the use of spoken commands.

Motorola StarTACIII Reincarnates Iconic Clamshell

Motorola today gave a modern-day twist to an old classic, announcing the launch of the state-of-the-art StarTACIII in Seoul. Motorola's StarTACIII retains many of the original aesthetic features that made StarTAC a classic. The new handset is instantly recognizable by its chic black coloring, specially-developed scratch-resistant facade, a smoothly contoured front, and the distinctive StarTAC opening chime.
Motorola has also modernized many of the design elements. StarTACIII's powerful antenna, its simple and sleek figure, and stylishly silver trim along the sides are an ideal complement to StarTAC's original classic design, forming a unique meld of the old and the very new.
Reflecting both the change in times and technology, StarTACIII can alert people to any missed or received calls and text messages by means of three signal lights on the outside - users can stay notified without even having to open up the handset. In addition, StarTACIII features a full range of Motorola's most popular features, including a high definition 2.0-inch TFT QVGA LCD screen, clearly displaying all pictures, as well as such useful functions as international roaming, GPS, "Moneta M-Bank," an electronic dictionary with over three hundred thousand words, and high quality MP3 playback.
Not the first time to bring back the StarTAC, Motorola created and released the StarTAC 10th Anniversary Edition in early 2005.
The Motorola StarTACIII will be released in Korea in early March, and priced at 297,000 KRW ($315 USD).

Motorola Q

The Motorola Q was no secret, anticipated by anxious consumers who were calling it colorful nicknames such as the RAZRBerry and BlackBerry-Killer. Combining an iconic ultra-thin design with the power of Windows Mobile, the Q offered an irresistible blend of form and function.

Released earlier this month accompanied by a high-publicity ad campaign, the Motorola Q is 50 percent thinner than its top competitors. Hosting a large and vibrant color screen, a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, and digital video and audio capabilities, the Q provides clear and vibrant imaging.
For productivity, the Q integrates a high-quality speakerphone for conference calls, speaker-independent voice recognition software for handsfree access, and Bluetooth functionality to connect with wireless accessories including A2DP-compatible headphones for stereo music streaming.
Boasting flexible mobile email featuring Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 software, the Q helps professionals improve productivity while having fun. Going head-to-head with Palm's new Treo 700, Motorola hopes its extra attention to aesthetics will make the Q stand out from the competition.

As the slimmest QWERTY handset ever made, the Motorola Q offers a familiar ultra-thin design popularized by the iconic RAZR. Encased in a remarkably thin and lightweight shell, the Q is actually crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, providing rigidity and support while weighing not much more than ordinary plastic. With an amazingly thin 0.45-inch profile, the exterior provides the support necessary to withstand the everyday wear and tear of regular use.

Prominently displayed on the front, a large 65K-color LCD offers a full visual experience. Optimized for video streaming, multimedia capture, and Internet browsing, the Q's screen provides the vibrancy needed for comfortable viewing indoors and out.
The 5-Way Navigation Keypad is located next to familiar green and red Call / Answer and Power / End Keys, with specially designated Home, Back, and Left and Right Keys offering menu navigation and shortcut functionality. Chemically-etched on a blue electro-luminescence panel, the shortcut keys are flush to the exterior, enhancing the Q's slim design.
The QWERTY keyboard allows users to easily and quickly compose messages from a variety of corporate and personal email technologies. With the left half doubling as the numeric keypad, dedicated Message / Display Off, Camera, and Speakerphone / Voice Recognition Keys are activated when pressed and held for two seconds. Offering slightly more spacious typing over the Treo 700, unfortunately typing is more cumbersome due to the Q's rounded key design.
