ultimate communications tool for jetset executives

Motorola i2OOO phone combines comprehensive global coverage with sophisticated business productivity

tools. Global business executives can now communicate as easily across continents as they can across town. Motorola today launched the i2000(tm) digital world phone, the ultimate communications tool for jet

setting executives.

It is the first digital wireless phone to enable global business travelers to make and receive phone calls around the world on iDEN(r) and GSM networks. Motorola’s i2OOO phone is the model customers will use to access Nextel WorldwideSM service, announced today by Nextel Communications.

“Effective communication is the key to a successful business trip,” said Bill Werner, corporate vice president and general manager of the iDEN Subscriber Group, Motorola, Inc. “Global business travelers value the sense of control that comes from

knowing they can touch base with colleagues and clients whenever they need to, and their organizations benefit from being able to access key decision makers when needed. The combination of

coverage and capabilities offered by the Motorola i2UOO phone makes it a compelling choice for the demanding world traveler.”

The phone operates on both GSM wireless networks in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, and iDEN networks, which represent the most übiquitous digital coverage in the Western Hemisphere, enabling executives to keep in touch wherever their business takes them.

The handset allows users to take advantage of optimum digital wireless coverage provided by Nextel Worldwide which can permit roaming in more than 65 countries.

The 12000 model was designed in collaboration with Nextel Communications, which will be the first network operator to sell the phone. ■
