LAS VEGAS, Jan 6 /PRNewswire/
-- Today, Motorola unveiled two of the world's smallest -- and lightest --
web-ready digital wireless phones ever at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES),
the V8160 and V8162. The V. Series, among one of the most anticipated phone
collections introduced by the company in the Americas, includes wireless phones
that are designed to define elegance in personal style. The chic phones, small
enough to be termed a personal accessory, transform high-tech toys into
sustainable style.
"The debut of these new Motorola phones is just one result of the
company's concerted efforts not merely to meet the needs of consumers but to
anticipate them in an entirely new way," said Rich Foss, vice president of
global brand strategy for Motorola's Personal Communications Sector. "Motorola's
consumer design and engineering teams have partnered to create new products that
are more than just good technology, they're personal accessories that reflect
the owner's taste and sense of style." Both versions of the elegant and futuristic phones will include a
microbrowser to enable Internet access*. Consumers can browse information from
the World Wide Web, access such items as stock quotes, weather reports,
directions and much, much more all at the touch of just a couple of buttons. In an effort to provide consumers increased color options, Motorola will
offer the digital V. Series phones in a variety of exciting new colors including
Titanium, Radar Blue and Galaxy Gray in addition to the always chic black. The
new phones are slated to be ready for store shelves during the first half of
2000. Both phone models, V8160, (CDMA 800 MHz/AMPS) and V8162 (CDMA 1900 MHz) weigh
as little as 3.0 ounces and can provide up to 150 minutes of digital talk time
or up to 125 hours of standby time**. If a digital system is not available in
the area, the V8160 phone automatically transitions to an 800 MHz analog system. With Starfish TrueSync®, an optional software package available for the
V8160 and V8162 phones, consumers can download and synchronize*** the names and
numbers in their phones with many popular desktop Personal Information Managers
(PIMs), handheld devices and web-based address books such as outlook 97/97, ACT!
Lotus Organizer, Lotus Notes, Sidekick, Excite Planner, Yahoo! Address Book,
StarTAC Clip-On Organizer, PageWriter® 2000X, REX, REXPro, 3Com Palm devices
and Hewlett Packard Windows CE devices. The phones are also data and fax capable,
offer VibraCall® alert and an integrated headset jack. [ Home | Contact
