24th November 2003 - Motorola, Inc. introduced Mobile
PhoneTools 2.0, an innovative software solution that
links a Motorola mobile phone and PC for a powerful
combination to offer consumers more options for communicating
and sharing information efficiently and effectively,
whether in the office, at home or on-the-go. Motorola’s
Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 is compatible with the newly announced
Motorola V300, and will be compatible with most future
Motorola mobile phone models. The enhanced version of
Motorola’s original Mobile PhoneTools offers new
must-have features, such as a synchronization set-up
wizard and the capability to edit and transfer images
and ringtones between a PC and compatible mobile phone.
With the introduction of Mobile PhoneTools 2.0, Motorola
continues its commitment to delivering solutions that
make life easier for consumers by allowing them to stay
connected to coworkers, family, and friends while on-the-go.
Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 allows users to easily adapt
to a truly mobile lifestyle by giving them the ability
to access the Internet, send and receive text messages
and check e-mail from a laptop computer by using their
Motorola wireless phone as a modem.* Users can connect
their mobile phone and laptop via a compatible mini-USB
or USB cable and easily transfer appointment schedules,
images, ringtones and more with just the click of the
mouse. When PC users log onto Mobile PhoneTools 2.0,
a “look alike” of their Motorola handset appears
on the PC screen along with a toolbar that displays
the most commonly used features of the phone. The familiar
layout of their handset, combined with Mobile PhoneTools’
integrated set-up wizard makes synchronization quick
and easy, by providing step-by-step instructions for
organizing contacts, creating calendars, tracking appointments
and checking e-mail.
"Motorola's Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 makes mobile
efficiency, connectivity and entertainment solutions
easier than before,” said Sue Fullman, corporate
vice president for Motorola's Personal Communications
Sector. "With easy to use synchronization, as well
as the ability to share and edit images and ring tones,
Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 is the perfect solution for road
warriors and multi-media mavens who demand access to
creative and entertaining features, as well as data
management capabilities, on their mobile phones.”
Motorola’s Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 provides users
with an outlet for creative expression via Multimedia
Message Service (MMS). Users can send text messages
complete with wallpaper, icons and ringtones. And, with
the new Motorola V300, users can snap a photo and use
the software’s photo editing capabilities to send
colorful photo collages to compatible phones and PCs.
Additionally, Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 provides users of
Motorola mobile phones with Bluetooth® wireless
technology two ways to use the technology. Mobile PhoneTools
2.0 features integrated Bluetooth software and a compatible
set-up wizard that controls the installation and walks
users step-by-step through setting up a wireless connection
between their Bluetooth wireless technology enabled
PC and Motorola mobile phone. And, for users without
a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled PC, Motorola
offers Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 complete with a Motorola
Bluetooth USB PC adapter, which connects to the USB
port on a PC allowing users to communicate wirelessly
with their compatible Motorola phone.
For the globetrotting professional, Motorola’s
Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 is equipped with 16 international
languages and comes with pre-configured data network
settings for many wireless data operators and supports
Outlook 97/98/2000/2002, Outlook Express and Lotus Notes.
Mobile PhoneTools Version 2.0 is expected to be available
in early December at www.motorola.com/shop
as a mini-USB kit for $49.99, USB kit for $59.99, Bluetooth
USB adapter kit for $79.99 or CD only for $29.99. Users
with Motorola Mobile PhoneTools 1.0 can receive free
upgrades to Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 at no additional charge.
Mobile PhoneTools Version 2.0 is compatible with the
newly announced Motorola V300 and most future Motorola
mobile phone models.
