Starting with the recent introduction of the new Motorola MPx200 mobile phone with Windows Mobile software, the two companies will collaborate on a series of smartphone and Pocket PC wireless devices designed to create a virtual "remote control" for the Web-centric, work-centric, always-on-the-go mobile professional.
The alliance includes cooperation on joint marketing and wireless developer programs.
Combining the quality performance of a Motorola mobile phone with the power of Windows Mobile software, the new Motorola devices will boast of an incredible platform for communications, robust multimedia, Web browsing and gaming functionality.
The new Motorola MPx200 allows customers to manage their personal information and synchronize their e-mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Outlook either via a PC connection or via seamless over-the-air synchronization with Exchange Server.
With an expandable memory card up to one gigabyte, the Motorola MPx200 offers virtually endless options for productivity and entertainment on the go.
Customers can browse the Web via Pocket Internet Explorer, download and listen to digital music and view video clips via Windows Media Player. They can also install applications and software on their handset wirelessly or from a PC via a USB connection.
The new Motorola MPx200 allows customers, operators and industry partners to benefit from the innovations of Windows developers who can create new market opportunities and new initiatives for access to people, applications and information in the wireless world.
"We’re committed to delivering solutions that will help drive our customers’ businesses and to creating compelling new ways for consumers to achieve their professional and personal goals," said Arlene Amarante, country manager for Personal Communications Sector (PCS) Phils.
"The new Motorola MPx200, with Windows Mobile software, turbo-charges our ability to deliver productivity-driven experiences by leveraging our expertise in radio frequency design and wireless integration. Also, it complements our existing software and applications ecosystem for network operators, developers and consumers," she added.
"2004 started really well for Motorola, and we are confident that this good start will carry on for the rest of the year. Expect Motorola to be making headlines in the coming months as we slowly unveil more of Motorola’s newest line of cellular phone models that will hit the Philippine market by storm," a company official said.
