New 3G A845 Motorola Handset For US

22nd March , 2004

US : Motorola 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(R) 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.
