Motorola A845 to Enable Mobile Broadband for
North America
Motorola, along
with AT&T Wireless, to bring faster speeds for richer mobile experiences to
the US
ATLANTA, CTIA booth #3525 –
March 22, 2004 – Today, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT), a global leader in
broadband, wireless and automotive technologies, makes history with the
introduction of its first dual-mode UMTS/WCDMA handset for the North America
market – the Motorola A845. Motorola introduced the world’s first
dual-mode UMTS/WCDMA handset for Europe and Asia in 2002. Today, the company
leads the industry with six feature packed designs, including the new
A845.
For the consumer, the Motorola
A845’s advanced 3G technology means that each of the phone’s
benefits, including two-way video calling, GPS location services, high-speed
Internet access, downloadable applications, multi-media messaging, MP3
downloading, and more – will be faster and more efficient, giving you more
fun time and less wait time.
“A 3G/UMTS
network, like the one AT&T Wireless is currently deploying, affords the
Motorola A845 with such an incredibly fast connection that it rivals
today’s broadband services,” says James Burke, senior director
product operations, Motorola, Inc. “These turbo speeds enable powerful new
wireless experiences like video conferencing, new location-based services and
downloadable entertainment – things the US market has not yet experienced
in wireless.”
The Motorola A845 will be
one of the first devices on the UMTS network being deployed by AT&T Wireless
in the second half of 2004.
A lot more than
a mobile handset
Fueled by turbo data speeds,
the Motorola A845’s two-way video calling feature brings you face-to-face
with family, friends, and colleagues. Conversation is now about much more than
talking. With the push of a button, gestures, smiles, and eyes all become part
of the mix. It’s interactive wireless communications at an entirely new
level.
The model A845 includes all the
information that a sophisticated entertainment suite can offer – including
an integrated MP3 player, video and still camera, one-touch video, composable
and downloadable ringer tones, wallpaper, screensavers, downloadable games and
more*. Video clips, news, sports, and pictures look fantastic on the Motorola
A845’s extra-large, vibrant color screen. And tunes and voices never
sounded as crisp, and crystal clear.
Equipped
with 64 MB of embedded memory to store your favorite MP3, picture, and video
files, the sleek Motorola A845’s capabilities let you optimize your
capacity for work, play, and everything in between.
With Bluetooth® wireless technology you
can talk on the go because there are no wires to tie you down. Bluetooth
wireless technology allows you to make calls, beam video or audio to your PC;
and sync e-mail, address book info and scheduling from your PDA wherever you
are, whenever you want. With Motorola Bluetooth technology, you can be both
hands-free and hassle-free.
The Motorola A845
is compatible with Motorola’s full portfolio with Bluetooth wireless
technology solutions. For example, the handset leverages Motorola’s
premium wireless headset, the HS810, to provide hands-free convenience for up to
five hours of talk time and 100 hours of standby time. The exclusively designed
microphone flips open to provide a simple way to quickly answer and end calls.
In addition, the A845 takes advantage of the HF800 wireless speakerphone which
allows you to start a conversation in the car and enjoy crisp sound quality as
you continue on your way home, to the office or wherever life’s taking
you. .
The Motorola A845 is expected to be
available in the second half of 2004.
