Motorola Unveils New Entry-Level CDMA Digital Handset Company Moves to Serve Digital Consumers With CDMA Phone Model In Brand New Size and Shape LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) announced plans to commercially introduce a new entry-level Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) phone model -- the SC3160 (800 CDMA/AMPS) phone. This handset was developed specifically to serve Motorola's customers' immediate needs -- a strategy that is consistent with the company's intention to be a premier total solutions provider. In an effort to provide consumers a broader range of digital phone options, Motorola has developed an entirely new consumer look and feel for its digital handsets. The comfortable form factor incorporates many key Motorola attributes familiar to customers such as SMS, Caller ID, Authentication, VibraCall(R) Alert, 99 memory locations, 99 Speed Dial memories, and a headset jack, in a compact handset. Commercial availability in the Americas for the SC3160 phone model is slated for first quarter, 1999. "We've recognized the rapid growth of the digital marketplace and the desirability of expanding our digital phone portfolio," said Fred Kuznik, Executive Vice President of Motorola, Inc. and President of Motorola's Personal Communications Sector. "The result will be new products and services that meet the precise needs of customers in terms of quality, performance and time to market that are covered by a traditional Motorola limited warranty and serviced directly by Motorola for our consumers." The dual mode CDMA SC3160 phone weighs as little as 5.5 ounces, with a digital mode talk time up to 280 minutes or a digital mode standby time up to 120 hours. The SC3160 phone features a four line alphanumeric LCD display with an additional icon line and operates with either an 8 kbps, EVRC or 13 kbps vocoder. This lightweight CDMA phone has been designed as an affordable, easy-to-use digital phone that consumers will find fits comfortably in a wide variety of lifestyles. The stylish design, coupled with a full set of digital phone features, provide reliable communications, in a small lightweight and attractive package. Help ensure performance and convenience with Motorola Original(TM) accessories for the new CDMA phones. Separately available accessories will include: Desktop Charger, Cigarette Lighter Adapter, Rapid Charger, Zero Install Hands Free Adapter, Slim Li-ion batteries and headsets. Consumers may purchase Motorola Original accessories by visiting Motorola's On-Line Store at motorola.com. Motorola is a global leader in advanced electronic systems and services.
