"We are proud to add our latest Wi-Fi enabled cell phone to our growing portfolio, delivering a compelling wireless experience to consumers anywhere they go," said Rob Shaddock, senior vice president, feature and mass market handsets, Motorola Mobile Devices. "The new W series handsets offer both great mobile phone basics and a solid music experience, in a candy bar form factor that you can show off with pride."

Affordable New Phones for Everyday Communications
Motorola is also adding two cell phones to its robust W Series of dependable phones for staying connected at a great value. The new Motorola W161 and W181 cell phones allow consumers to have clear conversations in noisy environments with patented Motorola CrystalTalk™ technology. The two new candy bar cell phones also feature FM radio (optional headphones required), a large display, excellent battery life and an office-quality speakerphone.

Award-Winning Product Portfolio
Attendees at Mobile World Congress will also have a chance to see the Motorola lineup of mobile phones and accessories that deliver a complete, immersive mobile music and multimedia experience, including products that recently received honors and awards. Highlights of Motorola's latest products on display include:

ROKR E8 - Transforming from phone to mobile music player with one touch, ROKR E8 features ModeShift, a breakthrough technology that eliminates confusing "button clutter" so users see only the buttons they need -- for a mobile music player, cell phone or imaging device -- at the exact moment they need them. And when one of ROKR E8's virtual keys is touched, the phone provides the tactile feedback consumers expect from a traditional keypad, thanks to innovative haptics technology. Favorite songs are quickly found with the FastScroll navigation feature, while Windows Media Player 11 compatibility enables an easy music download from the PC to the cell phone³. ROKR E8 also features CrystalTalk technology for outstanding call clarity. This quad-band GPRS/EDGE cell phone has been building buzz and excitement since its recent debut, when it stole the spotlight with many prestigious "best of" awards at the International Consumer Electronics Show.

MOTO Z10 - For filmmaking on the fly, this stylish "kick slider" makes it easy to capture high quality video, edit clips together, create transitions between scenes and add title slides and soundtracks³. This complete, pocket-sized, video mobile phone is always ready to shoot video at 30 frames per second. Crisp images are captured on its 3.2 megapixel camera that launches in 1.5 seconds and captures up to three images per second in burst mode. Budding filmmakers can easily upload and share their creations through any number of Web sites, turning spontaneous creativity into a social activity.

Motorola EQ7 and EQ5 - For mobile music enjoyment, the first stereo Bluetooth® enabled wireless speakers from Motorola allow consumers to play music and take calls4 from almost any MP3 player, PC or mobile phone through wireless Bluetooth technology (including A2DP Bluetooth profile) or a wired 3.5 mm jack with rich stereo sound. The elegant and small speakers feature echo cancellation and noise-reduction technology for high-quality mobile music sound, as well as integrated controls that make it easy to switch between music and speakerphone mode with the touch of a button.
