MOTO Q Goes Global with AT&T-Powered Smart Device from Motorola
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Motorola (NYSE:MOT) announced today that the MOTO
Q™ 9h global will be available exclusively to
AT&T customers in the U.S. beginning tomorrow. The 3G-powered MOTO Q
global is the first MOTO Q smart device sold in the U.S. with worldwide
capabilities1.
The MOTO Q global is a high-performance smart device with a new,
sleek form factor. The MOTO Q global offers AT&T customers a full
ergonomic, integrated QWERTY keyboard; outstanding voice quality;
downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps via AT&T’s
UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect network;2
Windows Mobile ® 6;
built-in GPS capabilities; Documents to Go®
for document editing; Opera browser; seven dedicated shortcut keys; a
2.0-megapixel camera with flash; and support for both a host of
enterprise- and consumer-oriented applications and services. These
include the debut of My Q Paks, a suite of third-party application
bundles designed to meet a MOTO Q global user’s
lifestyle needs. These applications are all made possible through
relationships with software developers that are members of Motorola’s
MOTODEV Developer network.
The MOTO Q global provides access to AT&T’s
BroadbandConnect network in more than 200 major metropolitan areas
across the U.S. and coverage outside 3G service areas via AT&T’s
nationwide3 EDGE network, the largest national
high speed wireless data network in the U.S. The EDGE network is
available in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000
miles of major highways.
Outside the U.S., AT&T customers can use the MOTO Q global in more than
135 countries to access e-mail and other data applications and to browse
the Web, and they can make or receive phone calls in more than 190
countries — the largest international
wireless footprint of any U.S. carrier.
"The MOTO Q global literally opens up the
world to MOTO Q enthusiasts,” said Michael
Woodward, Business Voice/Data Products, for AT&T’s
wireless unit. "AT&T and Motorola are teaming
up to provide our customers with a world-class device, operating
platform, applications and services and network experience that they can
take with them around the globe.” "Staying connected, informed and entertained
is becoming a way of life for busy professionals and consumers," said
Juergen Stark, corporate vice president, Productivity, Motorola Mobile
Devices. "With AT&T, the MOTO Q global
delivers unparalleled download speeds, on-board memory, messaging,
processing power and voice quality, all packaged within a sleek design
for the modern consumer.” Windows Mobile 6 Experience
Windows Mobile 6 provides MOTO Q global users with the familiar look and
feel of their desktop computers at home or in the office. Windows Mobile
6 delivers the ability to view e-mail messages in their original rich
HTML format with live links to Web and Microsoft Office SharePoint®
sites, which means that text and images are displayed as they would be
on a Windows PC.
"Windows Mobile gives people the freedom to
still be productive away from their desk or home whether sending e-mail,
keeping track of their schedule or surfing the Web —
while on the go,” said Scott Horn, general
manager of Microsoft. "The MOTO Q global is
an excellent solution for the person who needs a single mobile device to
manage both work and a personal life while staying connected to
colleagues, family and friends.”
All Windows Mobile 6 devices include Microsoft’s
Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic
synchronization of Outlook®
calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server®.
The MOTO Q global also will support System Center Mobile Device Manager
at around the time Mobile Device Manager is available in the second
quarter of 2008. The comprehensive, enterprise-grade mobile management
security and access server product was announced last week by Microsoft
at CTIA Wireless I.T. and Entertainment 2007.
Windows Mobile 6 also offers a set of important device security and
management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all
data from a device should it be lost or stolen. This feature helps
ensure that confidential information remains that way. AT&T has the
broadest portfolio of Windows Mobile devices of any U.S. carrier.
E-Mail and Beyond
The MOTO Q global delivers the most personalized, productive and secure
mobile e-mail experience by running Motorola’s
Good Mobile Messaging 5. Using Good Mobile Messaging 5 on the MOTO Q
global, business users get a fully integrated mobile RSS reader and
subscription manager, the ability to group and sort e-mail by
conversation threads, the ability to customize priority e-mail with
personalized notifications and complete calendar capabilities, including
real-time free-busy visibility. In addition, Good Mobile Messaging 5
provides IT managers with ultimate control through advanced security and
management capabilities, including a mandatory application checker,
application blacklisting, granular device-feature lockdown and SD-card
and database encryption, all through a single management console with
complete over-the-air controls.
In addition, business users will be able to access other services, such
as:
TeleNav GPS Navigator™. This
provides GPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving
direction, colorful 3-D moving maps and traffic delay alerts/rerouting
for use in vehicles or while walking.
TeleNav Track™. This is a fully
hosted, on-demand and comprehensive GPS-based workforce-management
solution.
Beyond business uses, the MOTO Q global provides consumers with rich
messaging and entertainment experiences. Customers can access their
personal e-mail through AT&T’s popular
Xpress Mail push e-mail service or POP3/IMAP4 clients and communicate
with friends and family via SMS and MMS messages. They can also send
instant messages using such popular platforms as AOL®,
MSN® and Yahoo!®.
The MOTO Q global also comes preloaded with such popular services as
AT&T Mobile Music, AT&T’s CV video
service, MobiTV® and
Web browsing, all through AT&T’s MEdia
Net.
AT&T MOTO Q global users will be the first to have access to
My Q Paks, which provide bundles of advanced applications geared to a
user’s personality and lifestyle. My Q Paks,
available only on the MOTO Q global, initially will offer three Paks —
of five applications each — that meet the
needs of an on-the-go "Road Warrior,”
always juggling "Household CEO,”
or entertainment-focused "Fun Seeker.”
My Q Paks can be downloaded directly over the air to the user’s
MOTO Q global through a quick three-step process. Usage is complimentary
